Description:

I guess we never outgrow our need for toys, but I like to alter mine! This is a fast & easy swap to alter a wooden block in a vintage theme. It's a great way to use up all those small pieces that are just too small for other projects.

FUN STUFF: Alter a wooden block in a vintage theme. Each side of the block should be altered in some way. You may use any medium, but slappin' a sticker on a wooden block is not altering. There are some great images for inspiration on Google like this one from Maria "Rinda" Ontiveros. There is no size limit on the wooden block. Sender's choice to one partner.

NOT SO FUN STUFF: Send something you would luv to receive. Mail on time and rate promptly & fairly please.

I love this idea! Maybe we can make it a monthly swap. How fun! I would LOVE a little stack of art blocks! I'm going to work to get caught up so I can join in.

I'll be happy to host, if we get enough participation!

Quick update...if you don't have a wooden block in a cube shape, you may use any shaped block.

Lu you are so creative. What a lively idea, too bad I have no blocks... Can't wait to see pix of some of these!!

Thrift stores are a good resource for old kid's blocks.
