So we've all seen the Baby Paint can I made a few posts down. Hopefully today is the day I get to give my friend Jessica her baby shower gifts. Awhile back I was in Michael's and saw some 3.25x 3.25 wooden blocks. I wanted to make a Merry Christmas Banner out of these for my fireplace mantle a few months ago but Michael's only had 4 blocks. I've been waiting for the last 4 months for them to replenish the supply but they never did. I thought about doing this gift and just spelling out JOSH. My husband Mark told me that if I wasn't sure what he was going to be called the mom might take offense at abbreviating his name. So off I went in search of more wood blocks. I couldn't find them online and of course none of my local craft stores had anything close. HOME DEPOT to the rescue. I took the craft store cube into HD and showed it to them. We found a piece of 4x4 wood in their clearance bin($0.51) and it was only $0.25 to cut into 8 cubes for me. Here is what resulted!!!

The blocks are fabulous. They are a wonderful gift for the parents and baby as well.
