Halloween Countdown

I have been seeing several different blogs that have done Halloween Countdowns, but this is the only one whom I can source. It's from HowDoesShe. com.I really liked the idea of this so, of course, then I had to do one of my own.







So Off to Micheal's I went. I found some 2 inch (5mm) cubes. Then I had to buy whittling blocks, that came in a pack of three, as I couldn't find anything else appropriate for the job.


I painted them black with Black Acrylic Indoor/outdoor paint. Then I scrounged around my scrapbook paper to find appropriate fall/Halloween type paper. I cut the paper just slightly smaller then the face side so that there would be a bit of a black frame around the paper.


Then I Mod Podged the paper to the wood. I then pulled out all the scrap booking stickers I had so I could find some the right size.



I used black stickers for the words and white for the numbers.
On the first cube put the numbers 0, 8, 1, 7, 6, 2. (the 6 will double for the 9)
On the second put 1, 5, 0, 4, 2, 3.
Isn't this the cutest? I was really pleased by how well it worked out.


So now the dilemma!!! I bought this at Micheal's so now I have some coupons I can redeem next week. Hmmmmmm......:)
What to make next!
