  4. Could you tell me the length for the 2x4's? are they 12 or 15"? Thanks so much. We are going to attempt this at our moms group. :-)

  6. I blog over at http://www.2crafty4myskirt.blogspot.com/ and I just wanted to let you know that today I posted a round up of Christmas Countdowns.  I featured this project in the round up.  Please let me know if you are not ok with that and I will remove it from the post!  Thanks!

  7. A question about the letters, did you write that with a paint marker or something else? The paint marker I used blended with the spray paint on the wood. Any suggestions for a different way to write on it?

    Thank you!
