Letter Blocks

The week before school got out, I got together with a few friends for a couple of craft days before all the kids got out of school. The first day we were at my house and we made tons of cute hair things. My friend Monica brought all the supplies and taught us how to make burnt flower bows. And by tons, I mean that I made about 25 of them. Then a couple days later, we all met at Monica's house and made letter blocks that spell our last names. She has a vinyl machine and was really nice to share all of her supplies. I thought my letters turned out really cute.















If you were wondering what a burnt flower is, this picture shows a closeup of one. I made a purple and green one to match my living room and used it instead of an "a." I realize it looks more like an "o," but I wanted it positioned here so I didn't care. :)

I WANT to do crafts with you so bad. I love making stuff, but it's just not the same by yourself. I love the paper you picked for your blocks. Good work!
