For the Birthday Week

Another fun project. I bought (less than $2) a 2x2 board from Home Depot and cut it into square with my Miter Saw. Then I bought a cute little (about 6” x 6”) calendar from Michaels for $1. Cut the calendar to fit the blocks and decoupaged them on. THEN I went over them all with a sanding brick and sanded all the edges and corners. And finally went over the top of them with decoupage again to seal it all. I sanded them after so I could sand down the pics and make them flush with the wood.. I didn’t want the pics to hang out over the blocks. SO this is a 6 sided puzzle. Different pic on each side. My 4 year old can do it..but needs a little help at times. With 54 puzzle pieces..and only 9 needed at a time.. it can be a little hard for young ones! I am going to try this with pictures of the family soon!

     

   

Some calendars from Michaels. I have also gotten them from Target dollar bins in years past.. but don’t pay more than a dollar! You can actually get 2 full puzzles out of one book, since you only need 6 pictures and calendars have 12! Great Christmas gifts too!!

 

Super Saturday

Super Saturday = Heaven in my book! Today was our Ward’s Super Saturday. It was a BLAST, but from behind the scenes it was EXHAUSTING! Here are some of the crafts we did. To see a full list of all the crafts, visit THIS BLOG.

 

  

Christmas

Okay..so! I've been out of town for about 2 months and am finally back home! Between a wedding and holidays and my husbands finals an break and everything..I am SO glad to be back in my own home!! I've started a couple different crafts I'll post soon. Here are a couple things I've done recently though!

In November my church group held a "Super Saturday"! Basically, we get together and have a day of crafting! I was on the board for it and helped with the glass-etched nativities that I posted on about a year ago. We also made some other stuff though...it was a blast! My mom and sister made a bunch of these for Christmas gifts~

I'll take some more pics of other stuff I've been doing in the next couple days!

I did make a few pot holders (tutorial)for some Christmas gifts though! (I made them magnetic though so they can be put on the fridge.)
