fa-la-la-la-letters

we have some good friends that live just down the road, 

and they have the cutest, all white + red tree.

this year, instead of giving them a 

basket full of goodies,

i decided to get them something that would 

last much longer...their last name

spelled out in letters that they can

use to decorate their home at christmas.

these letters can be used in thier

christmas tree as ornaments,

sitting on their mantle,

 nested among some greenery,

or hanging from a garland.

i picked out my font online at

dafont.com, and bought some scrapbook paper

that i thought would look nice with my friends

red + white decor.

then i sent my order to the talented nicole at

sweet pickle designs, and she did the rest.

 she is amazing with the jig saw and

can literally cut anything out of wood.

i love the way they turned out and can't wait to give them to my friend!

maybe i can even talk her into letting me get a 

picture of how they look in her home!
