Hey there! I’m DaNita withDelightful Orderand I’m so excited and truly honored to be guest posting on Craft-O-Maniac!
I’ve created an Everyday Message Board for my kitchen command center. It works great for me as I have to be able to see, at a glance, what is going on in my life. I actually DO have a life planner too {but in all honesty… I use it for my blogging life. More info on my life planner binder coming soon!} This message board helps me keep track of my everyday life.
The best thing about this project is that I didn’t spend any money on it! I had the materials on hand and with a little creative thinking, a ton of hot-glue and some TLC, this is what I came up with:
As this message board is in my kitchen, I didn’t want it to be too “officey’ looking. So I made the board myself to have the items that I wanted on it and to give it the look I wanted.
The first thing I did was cover the board in fabric, exactly the way I did my craft room board. I made some fabric flowers from black material and more flowers from leftover scraps from my craft room board.
A very important piece is my monthly calendar. I created & printed these on cardstock paper. This is where I write everything from appointments to birthdays, etc.
I also created a week at a glance page {available FREE for you to print at the bottom of this post.} I’ve laminated my page and I write in what I need to do under the days of the week with a dry erase marker. At the beginning of the following week, I simply wipe it off & start again! I have LOVED this part of the message board. I hot-glued black material behind it.
I made a little pocket out of fabric and hot glued it onto the board to hold note cards & my marker.
I hot-glued more black material & a binder clip to the board and laminated a blank piece of paper to write messages, etc. {using a dry erase marker to write the messages.}
In the upper left corner of the board I have a place for a photo. The black damasks are cut using my cricut & then rolled through my sticker maker {they’re paper.} The little diamond Rhinestones are actually for scrapbooking – I’ve found them at craft warehouse in the dollar section. I use these for a lot of different things.
and that is my everyday message board.
NOW here’s your FREE printable. I printed mine on pattern paper. simply click on it to print your week at a glance page.

I love this, and there is nothing better then being organized, such a cute board. Thanks DaNita- Jen
This is so cute. I bet we all have a message board of some sort – but not personalized like this. Okay, maybe its just ME! I love how you tailored it to match your room. Great idea! ~Lori
Super Cute! I have been looking for an area like this! I wanted to set up a “communication” area and this would be perfect! I love the color scheme too! Where did you get or how did you make the flowers?? Jennifer http://craftyhair.blogspot.com/

Thanks Jen!
