Blocks

For Eric's birthday this year I spent hours making him a set of 30 personalized alphabet blocks, complete with a picture of him on one side of each block.  Today we pulled them out and played with them.  I have to admit, I did feel a little pride seeing my little guy enjoy something that I made.

Love the pictures! Especially the next to the last one - such a charmer! Looks like you're all getting better, too. Hooray for the return of good health to our family! Those blocks really were an adorable idea!

Sad to say I miss you. And you live in the same town. Ouch! love you all so much.

I just used modge podge and then sealed the blocks with a waterproof sealant spray. The only problem that I'm running into is that Eric likes to chew on the blocks and he chews the vinyl off, so the spray isn't strong enough to keep the vinyl on. I might take the and modge podge over the vinyl letters then re-spray just to keep them a little more child proof (oh, and if you're doing these for little kids, use a non toxic spray so its not a problem for them to chew on them)
