Fun Spring Crafts

I have made a few spring crafts these last few weeks and I thought they turned out pretty cute.
This one no longer exists...thanks to Emy! She has successfully peeled off the vinyl and paper. Lately she spends a lot of her "free" time in the office cutting up things I need and peeling vinyl off of crafts or just the big rolls of vinyl that I have. If I ever leave anything unattended she gets out the tweezers and starts pulling letters off of the vinyl that I am working on. She is such a little turkey!

I made these blocks with my sister this week. One side says spring and the other says summer. After she left I redid the spring side on my blocks. I am just not a bright-colored person...it just looked so out of place in my house.

this is how it looks now:



this is how it used to look:


and this is the other side of the blocks:



I have also made a couple of these cute little cubes. I did one for easter and one for spring. I have since changed the spring one a little bit...thanks to Emy! Each side of the cube has a different peice of paper and a different picture or word. They turned out pretty cute and were fun to make. I did an easter one with my sister and a spring one with the old young women's presidency. They all got released from their callings a few months ago and I was left in with the new presidency. We try to get together every month and have lunch and the last two times we have made a craft too. We will have plenty more crafts to make too...a new cube for each season or holiday and maybe one with just family words on it too.
(I borrowed this picture...I haven't taken a picture of mine yet)


We had a couple new girls come into Young Women's and this was their birthday present (a magnet board) that I made for them. It goes with this years theme. I think they turned out pretty cute too. I hope the new beehives liked them!

Are you calling me old? Ha Ha ha... I am sad you put that photo up of the cubes because it reminds me how sad I am that I sanded the edges of my paper, oh well.... As always I love your ideas!
