Noel Blocks

This is a picture of the signs we made last week. If any of you are still interested in using the stencil, let me know. The stencil use is $4 or less, depending on how many people want to use it, and the board is $3. You use your own paints. I think they turned out beautifully!!

This week:

Noel blocks- I have no pictures of these, but they will be cute!

These are blocks of wood of different sizes, one for each letter. We will decorate the blocks with paint, scrap paper, and then stencil a letter on each block. You can also turn it around and do "snow" on the other side and use it after the holidays.
Bring with you:
*paint and brushes
*sand paper
*scrap paper
*mod podge and brush

Wood will be provided for free.

Meet at my house, Friday 10am.
Please shoot me an email, or leave a comment so I know how many will be joining us!
Thanks!
See ya Friday!

Black Friday Craft Night

Date: Black Friday
Time: 7:30pm or after
Place: Steph Southam's

What:**We have a stencil, here http://www.thestencilsmith.com/. Search for "magic of Christmas" and it is the first one w/o a picture. We have the largest size. We will be stenciling it onto mdf boards, and then you can add to it as you wish.
The plan is to distribute the boards before TG. Then we can each paint them the color we want and bring them to stencil that night. We will have some colors to share for stenciling, but if you want a specific color, bring it with you.
Price: the stencil was $22. We will divide that by how many people want to use it. We do not have a price for the wood yet. Now that you have the info, please let me know how many you would like to make, by MONDAY. Call or email.

**Another idea is an advent calendar. It is made with a 24 cup muffin tin. If you want to make this, you will need to bring the muffin tin. I will get more info on this if you are interested.

**Finally, here are some cute things to do with blocks of wood: http://www.howdoesshe.com/10-things-to-do-with-a-block-10-ornament. You would need to bring what you need, like paint, scrap paper, markers, etc. We will try to have blocks of wood, but will need some idea of what we need. If you had blocks of wood to share, that would be great, too.

So, let me know what you want to do, if you can make it, and any questions you have. And of course, snacks to share are always welcome!
