I am thrilled to announce that I am guest blogging over at Whip up today! Kathreen has an absolutely lovely site filled with all sorts of crafty goodies and fun things to explore. I am honored to be included among her guest bloggers. She also just started producing these great mini-mags chock to the brim with all sorts of entertaining kids activities and crafts. Check the latest one out here!
So, here is a little peek at what you can make following the tutorial posted there. This special word puzzle was originally made for a sweet, strong, little boy in my life who has cancer. I designed this “get well” gift to have a meaningful message, be easy to do while sitting in bed and have the flexibility to play with over and over. 
You can tell I’m on a paperboard kick here, here and here, but I’m going to go ahead and ride it out. So much fun playing with recycled goodies. And, if you want to make an exciting mystery word puzzle for a loved little one in your life, go to Whip Up and give it a whirl.

I really love this idea! Perfect for using up scraps and leaving notes for loved ones! I guess you could also make them into a bunting / garland string. Thanks for the inspiration!
anne says
Thanks, Ruth! Yes you can make it a bunting! just don’t stitch too closely to the top, and take a darning needle and some yarn and sew it through the fold. See this post: http://flaxandtwine.blogspot.com/2011/04/diy-up-cycled-easter-egg-bunting.html

I saw you post on Whip up- very cute idea- but mostly I wanted to comment on the name in the puzzle- Laird, it is my husband’s name, and I have never come across another one (other than the surfer) very cool to see 🙂
