Creative Crossword

We're putting the Tada! in letter writing this week and I'm giving a shout-out to all the crossword puzzle lovers out there. You know who you are: your heart beats faster as you skim the headlines, the op-eds, the comics...until you see the page with squares within a square. Then you scramble for a pen so you can fill those spaces with both mind boggling and lovely words.

But if you're not into crossword puzzles, this page of the newspaper is but a blah...

Here's how we can make it into a Tada!:

Turn it into stationery!

This is an envelope crafted from the crossword section & a sheet of paper.

Here's the greeting card made from a smaller crossword puzzle mounted on bright-colored construction paper.

To add to the fun, have the recipient fill in some boxes to spell out a message (ex. You are such a great & awesome buddy).

A few words + a personal touch = a happy friend.
