Day of Crafting

I have come on a girls get away with my Mother-in-law and Sister-in-laws.  Yesterday we spent the day crafting.  Everyone brought a project to share.  Take a glimpse at what we have been doing.

We are having a blast.  I will tell more about the projects later.

Valentine blocks

Well I realized as I posted the birthday boards that I never showed you my Valentine ones.  May have been slightly distracted in February.  I would love a redo if the month could come out different!  (saying that just makes my vision blurry with tears wanting to flow over...not today, please)

On with the blocks.  Here is what I made.  I had a couple friends come over and make some blocks too.

Here are mine...sorry about the glare.

Here are a couple of theirs.

And because we can't leave well enough alone. Here I turned mine over and made spring blocks

And my friend turned over her Love blocks and made Fall

 

Aren't we genuineness?  hehehe

Blocks turned around

Nothing like getting the most out of what you have...I've flipped a couple of the blocks from the birthday boards and now we can use it for all sorts of things.

 By they way you can buy the kits from me for $6 plus shipping.

Birthday Blocks

I first saw similar blocks on a blog share.  Hers are a bit different, I forgot to save the other link to give credit to that blog as well that used the chalkboard block for the age. They got the idea from How Does She. Looove that site!

I decided we really needed these around here.  How fun to use the chalkboard vinyl to be able to personalize the blocks every time we use them. 

I could only find 20 gauge wire.  It really needs 18 gauge.  I will have to go out and find some.

Happy birthday Sweetie!!
