Box of Blocks and Punch Holder

DH and I made these Box of Blocks for Grandparents day last Sunday. It was a lot of hard work but the Grandparents loved it. We bought the empty box from our LSS and DH made the blocks to go into it. I got the idea from the Creating Keepsakes magazine for July I think. Our LSS does sell the box with the blocks in it but DH said that he could make the blocks for me :) He's learning how to make boxes now.

This is the company that makes the boxes and blocks and other things as well.

Also I wanted to share the punch holder that DH made for me. I've addded 2 punches since the picture was taken. Its really functional. If I need a punch I just look at what I have and grab. They are in my webshots account under the folder MISC.

Thanks for looking.

The box of blocks is a neat idea. I haven't seen that before. What are the blocks made of? Are they chipboard? I love your punch holder. Your DH did a fantastic job with it.

I really do like the punch holder that Eric made. Just a bit deeper with dowel rods that could slip in and out and you'd have a ribbon holder. Bet he could make a little money on the side making these!

The block idea is really fun too. Looks like it would make a great Xmas gift for a child, you could modge podge the six sides to seal the pictures in and they could play for a long time. What fun! Might have to consider this.

Thanks for sharing, Tabby!

The box of blocks is so clever! A person could use almost any kind of picture to make a cute puzzle/toy for kids to put together! I'm thinking, calendar pages, favorite cartoon characters, do a theme box...hmmm) I think your punch holder looks great too! Its nice your DH is a handy dandy to have around! :)

If I don't post until the end of the month its because I can't remember what messages I've read and what I haven't. I'm using google because Eric used up all of our usage for the month LOL.

Thanks M-C! I'll be sure to tell him :) Very true. If I didn't already have a ribbon holder idea I would have suggested it to him. I'm using baby food jars for my ribbon.. Promise to share pictures once I take them :)

We were going to give them as Christmas gifts but then Grandparents day came up :) We did Mod Podge all of the pictures :) Its very time consuming but the grandparents loved them!!

You're very welcome!
