Christmas Gifts

To keep things simple this year we made the above boards for Christmas gifts.  This past summer my mom picked out the strips of wood from her friends property in Montana and since then they have been taking up space in our small apartment.  And, Casey's school let me borrow their Cricket machine so that I didn't have to handpaint all the lettering which would have taken so much time.  It was so much fun making these with Casey.  He did help with sanding the wood, drilling the holes and attaching the wire - all things that I wasn't crazy about doing!  Anyway, I just wanted to post a picture so that my mom could see the final product since she didn't make the gift list:)
