Personalized Block Puzzle

Homemade gifts are a must in our family at Christmas. I come from a very crafty family and we all appreciate the love and time that go into creating a one-of-a-kind handmade piece. This Christmas I chose to make my nephew a block puzzle!

I just happened to get a swanky new camera for my birthday last month so I have been busy snapping pictures and thought what better way to incorporate my new found photography skills! I found this great block puzzle on Photojojo.



All you need is:
- 16 wooden blocks (I used 9 and got them at Michael’s)
- 2 pictures printed on matt paper to fit the size of your blocks (I did a coloured picture on one side and black and white on the other)
- ruler and something to cut with
- and some good ol’ mod podge
- I also painted a few letters and numbers on the sides of my squares

A fun and super simple personalized block puzzle, voila!

Welcome to my blog - I AM LITTLE SUSIE HOMEMAKER!

Welcome to my crafty blog, featuring my love for all things domestic, where I hope to craft, create and inspire!

A few things about me:

- My name is Shannon
- I am a domestic diva
- I love making something from nothing (knitting, sewing, quilting, crafting, cooking and beyond)
- I am NOT a professional seamstress, knitter, quilter, etc, I'm just a girl who likes to make stuff and show people they can do it too!
- I am originally from a small town in North Western Ontario, I now live in Calgary, AB Canada with my husband Kevin, our golden retriever Riley and calico cat Nala.
- I LOVE a good deal (I hope to bring you some via this blog)
- Most of my creations are born out of necessity (and boredom)
- I had a life changing experience when I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at at age 27, I realized life is much too short and now I only do things I truly enjoy. (ok and the laundry!)
- I plan to blog about all things crafty and my quest to find healthy alternatives in a world of synthetic substitutes.

Happy Reading!
