Problem Solved

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but my fiance takes a while to get things done - things about the house, like putting up a shelf. If I ask, it won't usually happen until the week after, or the week after that. The other day we had a little 'discussion' about this issue, and the outcome was that instead of me asking, I should write a list. 'Men like lists!' he said, rather heatedly.

So I went away and made him a To Do List. I used a little wooden board that I bought months ago with no exact plan in mind as the base. It's ready-drilled to hang on the wall and looks more like a mini chopping board or cheese board. I decorated it like this:


I used chipboard letters from Artemio, and the paper was... well, actually, I've forgotten. That's really bad!
I used real tools on this one (not a little lady hammer and little lady nails) and hammered in two nails. Then I cut a stack of paper to size and added two eyelets at the same width as the nails:

I had some really fun stickers from Paperchase which kind of contributed to the air of 'getting things done':

And enjoyed layering up the little corner embellishment with various stickers (Paperchase, EK Success and Cosmo Cricket) and other collected items:

I wrote a little message on the back: 'To stop nagging, to avoid arguments, and to get things done'. I'm pleased to report that two things on the list have already been scratched off. Here's hoping it always works!
