I actually found the receipt of where I got the large dry erase board in my 2010 order receipts for school purchases! (Now I know why I've been keeping those stacks of file folders with past purchases in them! ha!) The company where we ordered the board is called "US Markerboard.com" Ours is the 4'H by 6' W size called the Brite-Write Porcelain Magnetic White Markerboard with Aluminum Frame and Tray. My husband built a white wood frame around the board and mounted it to our wall. Hope that helps! asliceofsmithlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411785385543404159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611443170663004142.post-38793972035191036752014-08-13T20:59:22.547-04:002014-08-13T20:59:22.547-04:00Hi Melissa!
