Family Home Evening Board

After a trip to Hobby Lobby a couple months ago, I whipped up this Family Night board for us.  I'd been twirling around ideas in my head for quite a while about how I wanted to do this and then I just went for it and I really like how it turned out. 

I started with the blank chalk board, measured out the spaces and applied the gold washi tape to make the lines.

Then I hot-glued the clips onto the board and added the cute arrows on top of those.  I kept thinking in my head that I'd like to have the clips on magnets, but the chalk board isn't magnetic and I wasn't about to complicate things by getting magnetic paint or finding a different board.  Glue it was.

Next I ordered up some wallet sized photo of each person in our family.  I cut them to be square and put them on heavy duty cardstock to sturdy them up.  Plus I really like the white border around them. :)

Then I used a chalk marker to write everything on the board.

I like that it's clean and simple.  And I really like that it's done!

We keep it in our kitchen so we see it all the time.  And that's been really great because the kids are always excited to see what they get to do for our upcoming family night and they are thinking about it during the week.  Mostly they count how many spaces away they are from being in charge of dessert.  :)
