craft flashback: Halloween felt board!


My mom dug this creation out of the basement and gifted it back into my life. Once upon a time as a teenager, I made this lovely Halloween felt board for my two younger sisters. During the month leading up to Halloween I would wait until they were in bed and then I would "tap tap" on their door and leave behind a new felt piece and a notecard with instructions. Even though they caught on quickly to what I was doing they still waited in eager suspense every night and startled at the tapping noise. All three of us had great fun with it. Apparently I started it without a concrete plan as my mom recalls bringing me back to the store for more felt more than once!

Now that it is thoroughly documented I am going to turn it over to my daughters to play with!
