I had everyone over for Craft Day for December's craft to make this cute Christmas nic nac. I actually thought this one up all on my own without leaning on my mom, Misty, or anyone! I was so proud of myself. Grandma, Cathy, Carol, Velda, and Misty were able to make it. We missed the rest of you!
You can hang it horizontally...
OR vertically and it looks fabulous both ways.
Carol ACTUALLY decided on a color for her sled, believe it or not! Haha!
Grandma commented she is "a dabber" instead of "a stroker," like Grandpa, when it comes to painting. I know I got Grandma's "dabbing" gene. My mom and Cathy were the only ones that confessed they were "strokers." Figures! Grandpa is their father. The whole subject gave us a chuckle or two.
Misty, Melinda, and Grandma - Can you tell we were having fun?

Instructions to make the nic nac:
1. Purchase wooden sled at Robert's Crafts (while supplies last) for $2.99, 50% off. Woohoo!
2. Find the vinyl letters. (I had Spencer's cousin, Amy, make these vinyl signs for me on her vinyl letter machine. I'm sure you all know someone that does, but if you don't and you are interested, just let me know and I will order more from Amy.)
3. Paint the sled
4. Sand the edges (if desired)
5. Lay the vinyl letters on the sled and rub on with a credit card
6. Walla! You're done!

I love the craft day blog! Thanks to Melinda for putting it together!
Thanks for doing this Melinda! It will be fun to keep up on craft day through the computer!
Thank you Melinda! I miss Cramer Craft Day so much that Christina (Aunt Arlene's daughter who lives by me) and I set up our own Cramer Craft Day with a handful of people we know. This will help me come up with craft ideas!
Pretty quick Melinda! Thanks. Joy- maybe Tammy's sister Gwen can come to your craft day-she used to have it with Andrea in Las Vegas but is moving closer to you.
I think that this blog was created just to make me super jealous that I don't live close to the cousins. Melinda, you do such a nice job on the blog. Maybe you can do a cyber Cramer Craft day some time and teach us all how to blog. I miss you all!!
Great job on the blog, Melinda. That was a super fun Craft Day!
