Grandkids clothespin board

We are on a slightly stricter budget for Christmas than in years past.
Normally that would make me a little depressed but this year I am embracing it!
I am going to get my thrifty girl groove on and make the best of it.
If that means 2nd hand gifts for the kiddos,
re purposed gifts for friends and family
than so be it!

I had some supplies laying around the house and found some amazing inspirations on pinterest
for the perfect gift for my parents...

I took a thrifted plaque I had.. sanded it
using this tutorial for painting words on wood (font is called Broadway, you can get it here)
I made this grandkids board for my parents

and yes, my mom saw this already.
I thought i blocked her from an album i made on facebook
but i did not.
she promised to act surprised on Christmas!
