My daughter Min made these blocks to display at her very first Young Women in Excellence evening (she’s now a second year Laurel working on her Honor Bee). She’d been twelve for a month and needed a project right away. Since we always have wood around, we decided on a 2×4 project. She picked a favourite phrase and then stamped it onto painted 2×4’s, and did some sanding and staining.
The neat thing about these blocks is that they’re reversible!She chose a scripture for the other side:
Psalms 66:1 “Make a joyful noise unto God”I like this scripture – it doesn’t say we have to be in tune or have perfect pitch – it just says to be joyful as we praise our Heavenly Father.
And I enjoyed seeing this in Min’s room while she was practicing her flute over and over and over and over and . . .
This fun stamp set came from Stampin’ Up – it’s one of my favourite alphabets! There are letters on each side of the blocks, and another set of matching numbers.
Now it’s time to get creative with the blocks and see what other phrases we can come up with . . .
Haha! Okay, maybe not!This one’s much better . . .
. . . a beautiful reminder especially at Thanksgiving.We all have so much to be truly grateful for.
Thanks for sharing your blocks Min!!!
