Ladder To Success

Trying to get organized this new year?  A message board is a great item towards some organizational success.  This one was created from the bottom rungs of a longer ladder.
 I used the top part to make a Christmas card holder that sold at Holiday Junk Fest before I got to take a picture of it.  I knew these bottom 2 rungs would work for something.  All I did was add a board painted with chalkboard paint--this is screwed into the rungs, and a coffee sack covered bulletin board piece that I hot glued to the rungs.  I left the ladder with its original finish, simply added a little Briwax over the top.  What are you doing to get organized?

  3. I love this!! This was like de-ja-vu! I make bulletin boards with that exact same coffee sack and sell them on etsy. I don't **think** I sold this one to you! :)
