One of the people who had placed orders with me was one of my girls, Katie from church... she offered to help me... and I said the biggest help would be to watch DJ while I cut, routered and sanded wood! Since she is home schooled... this fit perfectly into her schedule! YEAY! I was able to cut, sand, router 65 pieces of wood for various projects...
Tuesday, I painted & varnished them...
then attached a white tile to the black Christ plaques... while another friend from church watched DJ most of the that day. THANKS LADIES! :)
Come Tuesday night after the church women's Christmas Dinner... I finished the first Christ plaque... and hated it! :( Being 11pm at night, I was exhausted and went to be sad!
I woke up the next morning... WEDNESDAY, the day of our activity... still not liking the design I made, and said... SELF, the activity is tonight, you do NOT have time to re-cut 30 vinyl designs, re-paint the wood (because after ripping the tile off, there would be residue and we didn't paint under the tile because we were putting a TILE ON IT! ...simply no time!!! I proceeded to complete about 10 of them with hope that it would grow on me... I sent a picture of this to a few people... all being very nice and saying it looked nice... but none said they LOVED it... and I certainly knew I didn't LOVE it.
Thank heaven DJ slept in until 9am that morning... I quickly began ripping the tiles off all those blocks with a screw driver...
Re-painting (2 coats), re-varnishing, re-designing and cutting a new vinyl design... (times 30). I had the infamous Madi T come over after school that day, along with one of my leaders to help tie bows on them while I applied the vinyl... this might not be the most amazing design ever... but I liked it a LOT more than the first attempt! :)
And we got them done with a few hours to spare before the activity! YEAY! 
I couldn't have done it with out your help Madi and Angela! THANK YOU! :)Sometimes... simple is better!
