SO clever. I actually saw this idea on pinterest.

take an old frame, give it a fresh coat of paint, and insert a pretty piece of paper {maybe even lined or graph?} to get a fabulous list/sign. you can include some dry erase markers too... just in case your pal doesn't understand what the intent of this gift is at first glance.

i know that the grocery list is pretty painful around here. i try to keep a mental note until i actually stop long enough to write it down. this means forgotten q-tips, butter, and toilet paper... constantly.

i might even make one for our bedroom and bathroom while i'm at it. you never know when a thought is going to come into your head you'll need to remember.
