Baby Name Blocks

September 4, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 13 Comments

I’m back with my new creation featuring Trendy Twine.  This month we are showcasing Chocolate Sprinkles. And what goes better with blue and brown than little boys.  Usually the brown is mud though. I decided to make my own wooden blocks out of some scrap lumber my husband had laying around.  Of course, this is going to my nephew.  You guys sick of hearing about him yet?  LOL

I saw someone selling these on Etsy, and liked them so much I made my own.  I believe they used frames.  To give interest on the letters, I outlined them in the Chocolate Sprinkles twine.  Cute, no?  I think so.  Sometimes my picture taking leaves much to be desired.  They are bright and cheery off camera.

That’s all for today folks.  I slipped and fell down the stairs this afternoon. I’m not feeling so hot.  Let’s just say I am too old to be bouncing down on hard wood. I mean it is a quicker way to get to the bottom, but oh so painful.  I need to take an aspirin and go to bed.

Supplies:

Weather Girl (cloud) by Lettering Delights

So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Per So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Personal size. This is for those of you who think it’s too narrow but don’t want to purchase a new PW binder. Franklin Covey Compact is the next best thing. 

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
