Missionary Fund Bank

My nephew is getting baptized this Saturday!

Can't believe how fast time flies.

Anywho... here's a little something we're sending him to help

him along his journey!!!!

I bought an 8x10 Shadow Box Frame.

(later finding out they are easy to make)

Monogrammed it with his name using vinyl lettering.

For the coin slot, I drilled a couple holes in the top

and ran my dremel across from one hole to the next.

If you are painting your box, make sure you mask off the

glass inside & out so you don't get paint on the glass.

I just decorated the back board with

scrapbook paper and some clip art.

Wrote a special message to him with the date

and it's good to go!!!

Well.... I did send it with some $$ in it.

Hope it gets there safe!!!

Rotating Photo Blox

Simple and easy rotating photo blox.

Love making these for the grandparents. You can place pics

on all 4 sides of your blox or just a few like I have here.

Paint or place vinyl letting on the sides that don't have pics. Top it off with

a wooden drawer pull knob (not shown).

Great gift giving present!

I'm want to get pics of my great grandparents, grandparents, parents and me.

Going to make one of these for my mother for mothers day!

Hair bow/Flower Arrangement

You could use just about any container or decorated bag/box.

I used this container that was just lying around the house.

Those of you that don't make your own hair bows/flowers,

they can be found at pretty much any boutique or online.

The reason I used the straws is this can be used to store the bows & flowers.

That way they will always have an "arrangement" on their dresser.

If you can't find stiff straws to poke down in the styrofoam

you can use a dowel or stick to pre-poke the holes.

I used this for a little girls birthday gift,

but I think it would make a great baby shower gift too!
