Cub Scout Blue & Gold Prizes



My sister found these cool wooden chargers for me so I used them as prizes for the Cub Scout Blue & Gold banquet dessert contest.  The theme was "speed" and I found this cool free font to cut the word speed in.  I love when you find a font that meshes so well with the description!  The boys absolutely love winning these.

Valentines & Pinterest Fatigue Syndrome?

Is 6 projects in two weeks too many?  Maybe.  Nonetheless, I find myself hopelessly addicted to Pinterest.  I made my son's Valentines this week.  Better Homes & Gardens actually posted this cute Starburst valentine.  The Cupid's Arrows came from Family Fun magazine.

Family Charger


I've made several of these family chargers over the last year or two.  I made this one for a 40th Anniversary gift for friends of ours.  I tend to favor the silver but they are equally as pretty on a gold charger.  Really, I think any color could be beautiful if it goes with your decor.  I used the Copperplate font because for the name because it's bold and all capital letters - the first letter is a regular capital and the rest are small capitals.  The script is Lucida Handwriting.  It cuts nicely and I like that it is easy to read.  I usually give the charger with a plate stand so it can be displayed.  

If you look back to last year, I've also made chargers for Cub Scout events like the Pinewood Derby ( http://www.southernsandy.blogspot.com/2012/03/pinewood-derby-time.html).  You wouldn't think little boys would like something like that but they were thrilled.
