I found a great idea for a family message center here. I loved it but needed to tweak it to my needs. I wanted something I could take with me easily (in case we ever move - and no, I am not saying we are moving.) I just wanted to have the option. So, I went to The Wood Connection and found this magnet frame. It was unfinished so I painted it black, sanded the edges, and stained it. I already had the coat rack. I purchased this from At Home America a few years ago. It was hung up but it was too high for my little ones to reach. So, I moved it down. After hanging everything up, I really liked the way it turned out. Now there is one place to put all school papers for the kids. I am still going to add pictures of my children in the frames but need to go to visit Gardner Village to get those really cool shots!
The next project I completed was a necklace hanger for my jewelry. For this I simply went to The Wood Connection again. They had these simple boards for $1.99 (I think). I then went to Roberts and bought the cup hooks ($2). I simply added the hooks to the board, spray painted the entire thing black, then sanded and stained the edges. I then took small pieces of scrap book paper and applied those with spray adhesive. So cheap and easy and now my necklaces are organized instead of sitting in a pile on my dresser.
I love easy solutions!

You're crafting without me?!!! Everything looks great! I think that I need to make a necklace holder too.
Okay... where is this awesome Wood Connection and do they do online orders? I love your backpack board and necklace organizer! THis is why you need to move to CO!!!! and bring your great things WITH you! :)
This turned out really cute, you are quite crafty! I have a jewelery box, but my necklaces are still in a jumbled mess-this keeps them much more organized.
What a great way to organize your jewelry - you've got some cute necklaces!
