Weekly Schedule with Pinterest Idea

I finally learned how to use Pinterest this summer, and today I made a Pinterest craft. There are several cool ways people are using picture frames as stylish wipe-off boards. One involves this sort of cluster frame:
Usually, people choose the ones that have eight separate 4X6 frames so that they have one for a title box and seven for the days of the week. The plan is to cut out eight 4X6 pieces of patterned paper and use letter stickers to put a heading at the top of each piece: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc... You add these papers to the frame, then use a wipe-off marker to write on the glass...to-do lists, schedules, or whatever.

For my project, I only wanted a six-frame cluster - one box for my title and the five more for the teaching days of the week. I have a fixed schedule, so instead of using a wipe-off marker to list each day's plan, I printed it directly onto 4X6 pieces of patterned paper. Here is the result:
Now I have my schedule of piano lessons in front of me while I teach. I can still use the wipe-off marker idea to add notes, check-off students, or cross out canceled lessons.  I like it!
