Hangman Dry Erase Board from Zazzle Review

My daughter and I like playing hangman, and started playing it on a small dry erase board. We liked the convenience and sturdiness of it, so I decided to make one on Zazzle.com.

I made a hangman design and added the alphabet, and repeated it to be able to play three games before having to erase.

The game is played a little different on the alphabet version, as each letter is crossed off from the alphabet, whether it is used or not, so the players can see the remaining letters left. That part may require a little getting used to, but overall works pretty well.

The hangman figure and the alphabet remain after erasing, which is pretty cool, for playing the game.

The dry erase board itself, from Zazzle, is made of an acrylic which has some thickness to it, and is see through. The print and the hangman design are printed on the card stock that it is attached to. This means, that if you're looking at the design straight on, everything looks good and lined up.

However, if you look at the board from an angle, the lines over the letters that have been crossed off, will appear a bit off set. So the board may need to be repositioned to see clearly which letters remain. Other than that, the game works well.

It's also fun to play it on Post-It-Notes paper.

Product Review - Cedar Bird House

There were some birds that used to come by and sit on the railing of our deck. It was just outside of our sliding glass door. I could sit and glance at them when I was working at the computer. My cats enjoyed the feathery view too.

So I decided to get a bird house and mount it on the deck railing. I used electrical ties to strap it to the rails. Voila, a pair of little birds moved in. Me and the cats were both exited to see our visitors take on a more permanent home, near where we could see them.

Then one day, I opened the sliding door to let the breeze in through the screen. The birds were then able to see what was behind the glass and chirped up a storm. They chirped loud and long, and then moved away.

Oh my, I thought, I didn't mean to scare them off.

So I got permission from my neighbor to mount the bird house on the back of her wooden fence. She agreed. I mounted it on the wooden fence with the screws that were provided.

After about a week, our feathered friends moved back in. Yay!

And they were far enough away, that we didn't have to think twice before opening the sliding door.

I went with a cedar style house, because they seemed more sturdy than other ones I had seen.

There are various styles of cedar bird houses to choose from on Amazon. If there is a little lever on the front or side, then it can be easily opened, and the old nest emptied out, once the birds leave for the winter.
