Its an addiction .. but i don't want help for this one

So a couple of hours ago I was looking through one of my favorite craft sites Craftify It and she posted these to die for blocks that I was instantly in love with . I could not wait a single minute to make these - even though this will be the 4th set (yes 4 people) that I have made in the last week- I told you addiction. You will know why I had to have them when you check out this picture at Crafty Goodness. Did you look? Are they not the cutest thing - I know right?! Take a look at all her other crafting goodies- I am in craft love:) Mine are no where as good as hers - but I love them so much!!
I just used random peices of 2X4 and a small peice of 1x3 I did not have a color even close to that cute color they used - so I printed off the letters on my Cricut and used that as a stencil and painted the letters on with Turquoise paint. I dabbed the sides with pink,turquoise and black paint. I love that I did not have to sand or stain these ones. I am all sanded out right now. I painted the little block turquoise and dabbed the sides of that with the pink,white and black paint as well. Then printed out the letters on my Cricut in my fav font - Mandingo!!
These have already found a new home in my house. Now I have to get started on the million other projects I found on there blog!!!

  1. Yours turned out adorable! That and all the other cute stuff you have on here. I really can't take the credit for them though. My friend Cami is the creative juices behind those blocks. Too bad you don't live here...it would be fun to have you over for Craft Night!
