The perfect Baby Shower Gift

Over the past 4 months there have been so many babies being born.  I have had to get gifts for 2 close friends, my sister in law, my cousin, a friend of the family and 6 co-workers all in the past 5 months.  My favorite gift to give is a homemade gift.  I love to craft and I feel like it means more when I make something that is personalized.  Enter the personalized wood letter:
This one I made for the daughter of my son's daycare provider.  She told me the nursery was a pinkish coral color and white.  


Here are some more that I have made:
 This one was for my team member who was doing a grey, pink and white nursery for baby Gia.  She absolutely loved the letters.


 This letter J is for little Jackson, the son of another team member.  




 The letters H, S and W I made 2 summers ago for some fellow teachers.  




This one I made 2 years ago for my cousin's daughter, Jordan.  Jordan was turning 7.  The J, D and N have ribbon and/or flower embellishments and the O,R and A have small rhinestones.  




Now here is something I would like to do.  I would like to start taking orders for personalized letters, whether it be a first initial, all initials or the first name.  The top 3 are made with 9 inch letters.  The bottom 2 are made with letters that are probably about 6 inches, but I have not been able to find them anymore.  I made those letters 2 years ago and I was living in another state.
The price would be $8.50 per letter for the 9 inch.  If you are ordering 5 or more letters, the price would be $7 per letter.
If you are interested in ordering some, please email me at planestrainsandpb@gmail.com

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Planes, Trains and Peanut Butter!  I started a blog about 2+ years ago and I did not keep up with it as well as I wanted to because, well, life got in the way.  Well I'm back and I plan to stay more on top of things and I really hope to make some new friends out there in blogland :)


You are probably wondering why I decided to name my blog Planes, Trains and Peanut Butter.  I wanted the name to represent me and my life.  The Planes and Trains are for my 2 amazing little boys, Carson (4) and Spencer (13 months), who love all things transportation.  The Peanut Butter is because my family LOVES Peanut Butter, whether it's a sandwich, a cookie or with a spoon.  I want this blog to showcase my life as a wife, mommy, teacher and crafter.  I also want to include health and fitness and style. Some of the weekly posts I would like to include are Sunday Supper and Friday Fashion.  Sunday Supper would be where I share what my family is eating for dinner. Now that it is summer, we try and grill out at home or at my parents house. Friday Fashion will pretty much be like WIWW (What I Wore Wednesday) if you are familiar with that.  


Well, I have a lot of projects I have been working on lately and I am excited to share them with you this week.  If you like what you see, follow me and share my site with your friends!
