Holy Smokes!! It’s been far to long since I’ve posted on here!! With the Holiday’s and visitor to my house it’s taken me a while to get my feet back underneath me! I’m going to post something I made last year for Valentines day. It was my Valentine to my one and only!

This is the finished project. Each note has 1 reason why I want him as my Valentine. He gets to read one each day, 10 days… 10 reasons!

Here are each of the steps in making my Valentine… You can also find the tutorial on

First I went and scavenged some scrap 2×4′s. Don’t you love the mud all over them… I cut it into 3 pieces

1. 3 inches,  4.5 inches, 6 inches.

Next is a fun part… POWER TOOLS!! Here is my fabulous sister demonstrating how to use the cute sander in the shape of an iron.. Funny story… On Saturday night I talked my husband into buying me my own sander for all my crafts. Lady’s tell your husband you WANT to go to Home Depot (or any other man store.) and buy a power tool. I’ve never been turned down. Anywho… when we got there I had NO idea there were that many types of sanders!! Needless to say I came home with the one shaped like an iron. figured it would be 2ndnature. Look how much better they look POWER SANDED… Next step, I stained them. Tasha ended up painting hers a beautiful brown. Either way works  AWESOME! Next step, cut out craft paper to fit on your blocks and mod podge them to it! Super Easy!
