HOME MADE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.......

Most every year I make wood turtle stools for those kids in the family and friends kids. They need to be at least 2 years of age to enjoy them. This year thanks to relatives supplying me with 4 kids; I made 4 stools. The kids love them and so do the parents. I even have one which is nice to prop my feet on watching tv.
This year I wanted to make some thing for the older relatives for Christmas. I had seen a lamp made from a glass block with lights embedded inside and a ribbon around the glass block. I had 6 to make this year. I had to buy the glass blocks and a drill bit for boring the hole to insert the lights. That bit wasn't cheap!! I also encountered a problem securing the glass blocks. I had bought 2 from Lowes to try and when I went back for more they had discontinued carrying them. I had to order them online at Home Depot and you had to purchased a case of 10. Finally they were all made and ready for the ribbon. The ribbon my wife selected just made them perfect after they were finished. Those who received them were thankful; even my wife.
