hey there everyone! seldom i am hit with a case of writer's block...many of you know my tendency to ramble on. and on. and on. {oops...there i go!} and...definitely there was no blockage of ideas on my recent encounter w/ another kind of block. that'd be the humble wood alphabet variety.
i found me some inspiration recently that brought out my arsenal of collected ABC's. i had a wide assortment like the faded ones you see {above}...plus some very bright ones like those {below}
there were also some flat, contemporary jobbies that made their way into a bag full i scored ages ago. there were only a handful. but enough to recreate a project i found using a favorite medium....
chalkboard paint!
pretty cut and dry. and you could do the same yourself...either "borrow" some from an unsuspecting little one's toy box...or track down some blank varieties of blocks @ one of the many craft stores out there! you'll be having your own FUN before you know it!
story is far from over folks. the block inspirations continue. i saw a brilliant use of alphabet blocks that were reinvented. i took my own spin on it working in a bit of patinaWHITE style...and ended up with two works of whimsy i will be offering @ my shady hollow summer cottage!
w.of w. #1. {below}
w. of w. #2. {below}
two sayings i never tire of using in my creations. and they always seem to warmly received so i keep using 'em. just always looking for a new way to do so and i think i succeeded here!
so...stay away writer's block...and bring on more block creations. i still have a bucket that is overflowing with ABC's. and a word of advice to youngster everywhere. lock your toy boxes...i have a feeling they will soon be raided by inspired moms everywhere!
create FUN!
