Cute mothers day blocks....

Yes I know mothers day is still awhile away - but when have you known me to wait or be patient!! Not going to happen :) So this is one project that I wanted to try and I have another idea with some blocks and pictures modge podged on them for another mothers day present I want to make- can't wait to try it!!
These were really fun and you could make one for any season or reason :) If you are interested in them email me @thefaverofour@gmail.com- my computer is having a hard time with etsy- I have had several people not be able to get it to work so they had to email me instead.. so just to be safe just email me!!!
They are 2X6 boards with knobs on top - the one is stained and the other is painted- these ones I am giving away as gifts so if you want one with your choice of colors let me know!!



And I had to throw these in there too.. I can't remember where I found them :( sorry whoever thought this cute idea up= please let me know if it looks familiar!!
I just used some spare wood pieces I had .. I think it is a little different then the blocks I usually make so I love it!!!

Yes..more blocks, chicks and bunnies and a wedding gift

My SIL Chelsey came over to craft with me and we made these super cute Spring blocks - I am making mine to go on the backside of the Easter blocks. We are excited to get started on our next set. It is so much fun to have someone to craft with :) We made these blocks the same as my Easter blocks in the previous post - we used vinyl as a stencil and painted fun spring colors around all the edges.




I have seen these chicks on a couple of my favorite site and decided to give it a try. I cut them out all by myself - Chance is very impressed with my cutting skills but I think he is really just happy that he doesn't have to help me anymore!!!


And this is the super cute wedding gift that me and Chels came up with for a family friend. The frame is from Micheals -$4.00. We had so much fun with this - I think they could work for just about anything. I am thinking cute baby shower gifts? Once we were finished painting and adding vinyl we both thought it needed something else - so I made this cute little flower to match the colors in there new house. I hope they like it - if not I might just steal it back !!

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!!!

I love being copied....

So I was looking through my comments today - as I often to do, because I love to find the people who are so sweet to leave me a comment and share the love with a comment back:) I found this sweet comment about my blocks and took a look at the blog - and how cool is this: she had a craft night with her friends and made my Be Mine blocks. I was so happy to be an inspiration - I LOVE BEING COPIED!!! I am seriously pretty excited about it :) I am glad they deemed my idea good enough!! Thanks girls:)

Some more fun v- day stuff!!!!

I decided this year instead of giving candy I would use some of the spare wood we have pilling up in the garage to make some cute crafts instead!! Hopefully they will like them as much as they would candy... they were super easy to make!! I love cheap crafts!!

The Be Mine blocks are made from 2X4's they are about 3.00 a piece and you can make a whole bunch with one piece. They look different when they are set out but I wrapped them before I took the picture !!
The stackable blocks are made from 2X2's and you can buy a board at lowes for about a 1.00 that will make 4 sets of these!! And I have found the cutest ideas with these - they can match any season or holiday!!
