What's Cookin' Sign

With my friends and my busy schedules it is not super likely that we will be able to sit down to a "family dinner" but I do plan on cooking as much as possible so I will need some sort of organization for who is planing on cooking and what each night. I will admit that most of the boxes will be empty most weeks but this is just a good way to make sure that everyone knows if some one is planning to cook a bigger dinner at some point during the week.

What You Need: 

  • 16X20 Picture frame (I don't do anything to mine but you could DIY yours if you have one handy)
  • Pencil
  • Sharpies
  • Ruler/Straight edge

Let's Get Started:

  1. Aquire a frame.
  2. Take the "picture" that the frame comes with out of the frame and flip it over. It should be white, but if you don't want to use it just buy or cut yourself a 16X20 piece of paper.
  3. Measure out where each box will go and the space you give yourself for the title and mark it with a pencil.
    • MY MEASUREMENTS:
      • Boxes are 4X4
      • TOP ROW: 0.5 inches from the edge and about 7 inches from the top.
        • About 1 inch apart
      • BOTTOM ROW: 3 inches from the edge and about 1 inch from the bottom.
        • About 1 inch apart
      • The 7 inches that I left at the top I used to write the title. Just make sure that you leave about 1/2 an inch at the top to allow for the frame. 
  4. Draw what you are going to write in PENCIL FIRST. You don't want to mess up and have to start over on a new sheet.
  5. Trace your pencil marks with your choice of sharpie colors. (I chose pink, black, and gold)
  6. Put the paper in the frame.
  7. You may now write on the frame's glass to tell your family/friends "What's Cookin'"
  8. Enjoy!
