Wow, day 9 already ~ we are over half way through “15 Days of Handmade Gifts” I have a wonderful guest blogger today; Ginger from Ginger Snap Crafts. She is going to show us how to make a really cute Christmas Countdown sign ~ a great gift for any family!
Today’s ad sponsor is LeBox Boutique, they have some really great crafting supplies ~ their craft boxes would be GREAT to decorate and make some beautiful Christmas packages (they are also participating in our giveaway on November 30th!!)

And now onto Ginger’s sweet tutorial:
Hi! I’m Ginger, & I blog over at Ginger Snap Crafts.It’s a fun place where I share my easy, simple & cute crafty ideas & projects.
{Would love to have YOU drop by sometime!}
It’s such an honor to be over here on Lisa’s blog & with all of YOU!
Today I’d love to share my cute & easy way to do a Christmas {countdown}.
{Supplies Needed}
wood plaque*
paint
ribbon
vinyl**
scalloped circle chalkboard vinyl***
* I bought my wood plaque at Hobby Lobby for under $2. Yay!
**I used Mr & Mrs Popsicle & His Name is Honey fonts for my vinyl.
***You could also use a stencil & chalkboard paint.
This is soooooo easy to make! First you paint your plaque white.
Then drill two small holes along the top.
Apply your vinyl. Then thread a festive ribbon through your holes & tie a bow. All done!
Then use a piece of chalk or chalkboard pen to countdown to Christmas!
Yay! So fun, & your kiddos will love it! 🙂
Would love to have you over to Ginger Snap Crafts!
I’ve also have a fun link party on Wednesdays…would LOVE to see what you’re up to!
Thanks for having me over, Lisa! I had a great time! 🙂
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving & wonderful Christmas.
Sweet Benanna&Sam
