Christmas Countdown Blocks

Cross a few 4 x 4s, some paper, mod podge, vinyl lettering, some hours, and acrylic coating - this is what you'll get:

We LOVE our blocks! Zoƫ is very conscientious about changing them every day, and even Megan is getting interested in counting down to Christmas. Such a FUN gift- and we truly appreciate ALL your hard work.

Will you burn the scraps? Or is it too warm there in Livermore? We could use some firewood- if we had a working fireplace (ours is just for decoration and a hole that empties into the basement so the girls can drop marbles and balls down it to see where they disappear).

Glad they are having fun with them! We don't have a fireplace, but maybe camping or little hammer and nail fun for kids....Can you believe only 5 more days!?!

I used mine to count down to my surgery. That was more exciting to me anyway...ha ha!

We love the blocks. I have to admit that I didn't think Christmas was coming fast enough! Andrew loved changing the numbers (and it helped him practice his numbers). Thanks for the wonderful gift!

I loved these. They were a lot of work and I enjoyed them, but enjoyed them more when Jack and Andrew arrived! Thanks for doing them. Love you.

I love the blocks, and 'twas fun to cont down. I think I need to use them now as a reminder of other deadlines...they're too nic to just tuck away 'till next year. You are wonderful to go to all that work.
Thank you, THank you!
