Blockhead

Happy hump day! Unless, of course, you're on the other side of the map, in which case I wish you a happy Thursday!

I bought these children's blocks last Christmas. In fact, I bought three boxes of them. I knew I would think of something to do with them. Eventually.

Yesterday was that day. I powered on the band saw, whipped up a quick jig so that all my cuts would be the same, and 20 minutes later, I had a nice, big pile of thin slices of wood - some with letters and some just plain. I got 6 slices out of each small block. I still need to touch 'em to the belt sander, but you get the picture. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing happens this afternoon to change Grandma's plans to take the kiddos for a few hours so I can play, play, PLAY! Just THINK of the possibilities!!

I made sure I cut up the entire box so that I'd have some to share. That's right - my very first giveaway!! If you'd like to qualify, all you have to do is leave a comment and I will use a random system to choose the lucky winner. You have until midnight Saturday (CST). Come back on Sunday to see if you're the winner. giveaway closed

Thanks for visiting! Have a grand day!
