whoa...is it the end of the world? cause this is my 2nd post today...

So some quick cute pics I shot of jake in his bumbo today-he is doing better and better at it, and i found a way to distract jake from getting upset at tummy time....the tv....now i'm torn.....get my child addicted to tv....or not help him progress to crawling quicker....oh well, I won't let him do it for very long...

even though this one is blurry I love it haha.

So I remember some friends asking about this awesome craft that I did at our ward's enrichment activity:

Though I don't have the exact dimensions of the blocks and am too lazy to measure them out myself, I'll explain real quick how we did it.  

First step paint a light layer of cream colored paint on the best side of the blocks and let it dry.

        Then we took them outside and power-sanded the edges of the blocks so the front surface of the blocks was raised compared to the edges of the block if you get my drift...

        Then we stained the blocks-wipe it on making sure to put it on the front/painted side last and then wipe it off starting with the painted side first.  easy.

        Then you need to pick out basic scrapbook paper that you like and cut them into squares slightly smaller than the dimensions of the blocks.

         You'll need to get vinyl lettering in a chocolate brown color.

         First you put the vinyl lettering and put them onto the papers before you put those on the blocks

         Then you take the pieces of paper and distress the edges with an ink pad

         Then you will modge-podge (no idea how to spell that) the pieces of scrapbook paper onto the blocks with glue.  (I didn't know what that meant at the time, but incase you don't either- you lightly brush glue onto the blocks, place the paper on the blocks and rub it good to make sure it doesn't bubble-you really don't need a lot of glue or it will bubble), then once that is dry you brush a light layer of glue over the surface of the papers.

and there you go.  It was pretty easy-and if I could do it, then anyone can :)
