one craft..many possibilities

I've seen burlap dry erase boards around lately.
*edited to add...Thanks Jen at Craft-O-Maniac for the link to her dry erase board. 
And might I say...she's got the lead on rockin' Halloween decorations :) 

If you've posted one..please let me know - I'd love to see them.

I found this simple frame at Wal-Mart ($3.00).  

I had the burlap leftover from my holiday table runner.

Got out my hot glue gun & went to work.  I glued the burlap to the mat that came with the frame..flipped it over and put it back under the glass.

less than 15 minutes later..I had a dry erase board.
*only use dry-erase markers...I've learned the hard way*

a to-do list perhaps?

or the opposite of a 'welcome' sign

or maybe a 'menu' board

The possibilities are endless.  

Make little ones to use as table numbers...paint the frame & decorate it to make a cute 'chore chart' for your kids...decorate the frame with Halloween themed stuff and you've got a blank canvas for a 'trick-or-treat'/'BOO'/'goblins live here' sign.
