Thanks for the wonderful idea….with the weather getting nicer and yard sales starting up, I’ll gonna look for the blocks in a wagan and make a sweet photo block out of them…thanks to YOU AND MELISSA.
Take care,

Thanks for doing this. I LOVE the idea and the craft ideas. :)
These are great ideas. I love the onesie tutu but I don’t have anyone to make it for. My big craft project for Christmas is to make some flirty aprons. Got any posts on that?

Hi Candi! Thanks – I don’t have a onesie tutu to make for anyone either anymore. Sad!
I don’t have any apron posts but I found a couple from one of my favorite crafty sites:

I hope you find something awesome! :) Are you giving them as gifts?
Thanks Lindsey those are great. I am hoping to make one like the ones at http://www.flirtyaprons.com. I was going to make one for myself so I cook in style this Christmas and also a couple for friends. Those links you listed are awesome. I bet I can find a pattern there to use and then modify as necessary. If I make one, I’ll let you know how it comes out.

I love the picture block puzzle idea! We were just getting ready to pack up some of her blocks but now you’ve given me a great way to re-use them.
