When you marry the son of a carpenter, there are perks. Lots of perks. And on our most recent trip to Des Moines, we received a bag of blocks that used to belong to the hubs when he was a little boy. (insert sigh for preciousness here) My FIL made these blocks from some of his scraps year ago and now a second generation is enjoying the fruits of that labor. Yeah, the scraps could have been tossed or used as kindling over the long mid-west winters, but instead they were put to good use...
Here's the challenge for me - try with all my might not to paint these beloved blocks as some have done below.
I will never look at scraps of wood the same! How about you? xo
