Hey Everyone!!
I know it has been awhile but I'm back with a new, fun craft. Suzanne Christensen found a Birthday Board on a blog and asked if we could make it--I said sure! It took us some time but we finally got it just the way we wanted it!!
There are actually 2 separate Birthday crafts you can choose--do one or the other or both!!
1. I'm not sure how the pictures will appear on your email but the first series is theBIRTHDAY BOARD--it is 14" wide by 17" tall. It comes with the following: cut in the dome shape, routed, painted, sanded and glazed (if you want to). The first area has a wood drawer pull at the top which will hold a rectangular wood piece with names of family members on front and back. Each board comes with 1 name piece, all additional names (2 per piece) are $1. The second area is the countdown to birthday--"Days until my Birthday"--each board comes with a week's countdown (numbers 1-7). The final section at the bottom is the "Let's Celebrate" area--this is for you to use for your family's traditions. (In our family we choose the desert and the dinner on the day of our birthday and an activity--party, movie, etc. Suzanne puts pictures of her kids from birth to the age they are turning and they talk about the different, uniques aspects of that child/person.)
Then there is a back--you turn the board over on the day of the birthday and it says "It's my Birthday" with their name hanging on the second wooden knob.
Each board is $20 (includes one wood piece for 2 names--each additional wood piece is $1). I'm showing it to you in green but you are welcome to do it in red or blue (for those of you who did the birthday cake signs a few years ago--I can match the color you did the cake part--this is that green). If you want a color other than the green shown or a deep barn red or light blue--let me know and we will talk about it.
2. The second craft is a BIRTHDAY CARD/PICTURE HOLDER--it is 18" long by 31/4" tall. It comes just the way you see it--Happy Birthday and the number for the age the person is turning. You get the wood, paper, sanding, staining, printing, wire, bull clip, and numbers (you get 2 sets of 0-9 and a ? for those who, like Dave, don't want anyone to know their age--whatever!! :)
The Birthday Card Holder is $12--There is a back you can add but I don't have a picture. You can see mine if you are interested--it is an additional $4 dollars.
3. If you would like to participate in the BIRTHDAY BOARD CRAFT DAY just reply to this email with the following information:
A. What you want to make and how many.
B. If ordering the Birthday Board--the color of the board and
the names for each name wood piece that hangs on the top handle.
4. I need all the money paid by Thurs. Feb. 3--I'll need a couple of weekends to get everything cut and painted. You can pay by check or cash--if check, make it out to Dawn Damron.
5. CRAFT DAYS--I will hold the craft day at my house on the following days:
A. Wed. morning, Feb. 15 from 8:30am--12:30pm.
B. Thurs. morning Feb. 16 from 8:30am--12:30pm and
C. Thurs. night Feb. 16 from 8:45pm--midnight.
FINAL NOTES: 1. If those dates don't work out for you--just call/email me and we will work out another time.
2. If you want me to make it for you, I'm more than happy to--the board will cost $30 and the card holder will be $20.
Thanks everyone--can't wait to craft with you!!!!
Dawn
