ThAnKfuL Blocks!




Here are some FuN blocks I made the other day. I used scrap 2x4's and 2x6's that I had laying around. I made my own stencil by printing the letters on card stock...then using an exact-o knife.. to cut them out. Then I stenciled the letters on the painted blocks...then sanded and stained the edges. SuPeR EaSy...and SuPer CuTe!!
HaVe FuN!!

    Hey Stacie, I was wondering if you would like to do a giveaway on my blog the first week of December? I remember you doing a giveaway on The Dress Up Drawer, and I would love it if you would want to give one of your cute things away on my blog! http://chad-tiff.blogspot.com. Let me know-I LOVE your stuff! :)

  8. Oooh! I like it! And you made it look pretty easy. I'll have to try it! Love the fonts and colors, they are cheery and still "fall"y (that's totally not a word).
