Popsicle Stick Puzzles.

After seeing these at a link party a couple weeks back, I decided to make some of my own.

I figured not only would they be a great car activity for our upcoming road trip this week, but they'd make a great restaurant activity or an awesome diversion to pull out for when I need five minutes of peace so I can get something done-- like emptying the dishwasher or mopping the floor.

Plus you could totally make them for any holiday, season or celebration.

Or give them as a gift. (I think I am going to make a few more sets for Addison to give to her friends for Halloween)

So, I downloaded the digital kit, uploaded the graphics that I wanted to Target's one-hour photo, treated myself to a package of popsicle sticks, a fresh jar of Mod Podge and a Starbuck's while I waited for the prints to be ready, then proceeded spend my Saturday night making my popsicle stick puzzles-- ten of them to be exact!

Overall, it was a fairly easy project. A bit time consuming maybe, but nothing that a Good Wife or Downsized marathon, a bottle of wine and a bag of Dove chocolate can't cure!
