DIY whiteboard!

Hello again! I've been wanting to share my latest DIY project for a little while now and so finally here it is! A couple weeks ago I was in the Craft Food and Wine Festival at Clarkson. The show was the biggest I've done so far. Lots of people shopping and lots of amazing crafts! I wanted my booth to be really great so I decided a big sign was in order. I had heard of chalkboard paint but it seemed like a huge undertaking. Instead I decided on a whiteboard. It turned out great! I found a fantastic wooden frame at my local thrift shop for $6. I don't know what it used to hold but I was told it came from a town office redecorating. The frame is nice and sturdy. I bought a sheet of tile board from Lowe's for another $10. They even cut it to the exact size I needed for free! I had to do a tiny bit of filing when I got the piece home but afterwards it fit into the frame perfectly. So much so that I didn't need to glue it at all. That was it! So easy and so cheap! Now I have a great big sign that I can use to help attract buyers and change whenever I want! I love it!
Now that the craft show is over, I am taking a bit of a breather to re-post what I have left and to decide where to go next! Maybe in the meantime I will practice my crocheting.. Wish me luck!
