People love homemade decorations for the different seasons. Here is a tutorial at a fabulous craft blog on how to make some really cute wooden blocks that you can place on the wall, fireplace mantel, shelf, or as part of a table centerpiece. These would be great for all different seasons and occasions. You could make them say "Joy" for Christmas or "Love" for Valentine's Day, "Baby" for a baby shower gift, or anything you can imagine. If anyone makes any of these I would love to see pictures of how they turned out and what you ended up using them for. One more thing, Don't forget to sign up for the giveaway!

Easy ABC Blocks



An easy gift idea that I like to do for baby showers is to give these cute little decorative wooden ABC blocks. I get them at Hobby Lobby as plain wood. When they are on sale you can get them for as little as a dollar each! I pick up a few colors of craft paint to match the nursery and paint them. Craft stores like Hobby Lobby and Roberts have a lot of great wooden gifts that only need a little paint or stain to complete. Since they are boxes with lids, you can fill them if you want to. You could put passifires,  baby booties, socks, bibs etc. inside. If you are compiling multiple gifts to put in a basket these are great because they take up a lot of room and are only around $5! And because you took the time to paint them it adds a personal touch as well.
