How about WOOD BLOCKING!

BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER!
Patrice will be volunteering her time to teach this Ladies Day. I know some of us get really nervous about joining in the fun because we simply have no idea how to do it. I promise Patrice will lead you (just like Amber did with painting). It will be a blast and you will love what you make! (and if you don't, you can start over... I'm going to re-do mine from last year)
 
I cannot wait to find a new project (and fix mine from last year!) I just might make something for my front porch... Perhaps a wreath with a giant letter or something to sit on my ladder for Winter??
1st we need to get the details together:
  • Who is coming? I will know if you are interested once you answer the rest of these questions.  
  • Where are we doing this? Any volunteers for a space? I'm more than happy to have it at my house if y'all are willing to drive out to me. (It will be really convenient for a few of us that are already out here :) )
  • I'd like to do it before Halloween. Patrice and I have October 3rd, 4th, 5th, 12th, 17th, 18th open. I'd prefer to do it on a Saturday or Sunday since last year it took us the majority of the day to complete.
  • Let's plan on everyone packing a lunch/dinner for themselves (and probably a snack if you have more than 4 letters). Bring your own booze because we all know you'll have much more fun liquored up!
  • Have you looked online for ideas? I am planning on going to Wood Connection. If anyone wants to go along with me please let me know when you can meet or come with me to SLC. Hobby lobby is another good source for supplies.
Please contact me with answers. I will put it all together once I have an idea of where to start.
*This will be easier to complete without little people here. If you can't find a sitter please let me know ASAP. I may be able to accommodate if it's at my house.
I'm sure we will need tables/chairs too so if you have any you can bring please let me know.

If you didn't come or see what we did last year, click here for pre-party info and click here for results. This will also explain November's Pinterest Party Ladies Day. The pictures of our wood blocking is near the bottom. Look at Patrice's Boo! To die for! 

If you want to check out some ideas go to my Pinterest page and look at the wood blocking board. Then hop over to wood connections website. (If you would like to be added to my Pinterest board let me know and I will add you so you can add pins. Also note that The Wood Connection store will have seasonal items. If you want to do something other than letters or seasonal you will need to order in advance)
We will have some supplies here to complete your project. If you want something specific you will need to get your own stuff. I have a bunch of stuff I can share so if you want to start your shopping trip at my house please get in touch with me. I do know that everyone will need clear wood glue. You can get this at any hardware store and it will last you years if all you do is wood blocking.

Look how cute this is!! These are all on The Wood Connections website. I didn't see a price for Harvest, but the rest are all under $15
