Curiously Crafty

Tonite I was feeling...Crafty. For lack of a better word. I haven't been able to put use to my mad Martha skillz in several months since I've been sick/busy/working/lazy...etc..! This is something I bought the supplies for a couple months ago. I wanted to make something to put in Bauer's nursery for his name. I didn't want to buy the usual wooden letters and hang them over the crib..I wanted to something a bit different. I went on ETSY hoping to find some personalized wooden blocks that were painted with his name and that I could stack on a little shelf in his room. Then, I saw that someone made personalized wooden plaques with kids names on them and I was going to order it but it was 60 bucks and that didn't include shipping. After I started looking at it more closely, I thought...I think I can make that myself on the cheap! I already had most of the supplies and all I had to buy was the wooden plaques and the navy blue paint. I also asked people for Curious George books...to go along with the theme of course and used the pictures in the book for the plaques. I tried online first, but I didn't see any that I really liked. The whole project cost me around 10 bucks!! Here's what my crafty feeling led to.... what do you think?? Ta DA!! (please excuse the blurriness...my cell phone camera isn't the best)
