Crafty Names

I've had these letters for the girls for quite some time. I didn't really want to just hang them on the wall, but I was at a loss for how best to display them. I got the idea to mount them on dowels and then put them on the top of a picture frame or shelf. The only frame I could find was unpainted pine.

So I set up a table in my garage and put many coats of white
paint on these before drilling the peg holes and gluing the dowels in.

I wanted to coordinate with their bedding...

...so I added some wood flower decals that I
painted with some fabulously easy paint pens
A little hot glue and....

Now I just need to decide what pics I want to put in them...

Take 5

A friend of mine had posted this on Facebook and I followed suit. I thought I would show you the crafts I made for my 'Take 5' Commenter(s).

The first five people to respond to/comment on this post will get something made by me. I purposely didn't tag anyone so you have to find this yourself.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations so please read carefully:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year (2009).
- You have no clue what it's going to be.

It will be something made in the real world and not something over the internet. It may be a mix CD. It may be a haiku. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! [me neither] - I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here's the fine print: In return, all you need to do is post this text into a note of your own and make 5 things for 5 others. Spread the love, baby!

This card is so much fun to make. I copied the idea from this other blog I was reading and I think it is a great, creative way to make a card for that special someone.
