XOXO blocks

 I LOVE Valentine's Day.  Always have.  I'm not even the mushy type--I just love this holiday.  Maybe because of all the pinks and reds or yummy chocolates or who knows what.  Or, maybe it's because I just like to decorate for all the holidays. 

I have been in the mood to create craft crap.  Guess I'm starting to feel better and more like myself (the past few months have been rough).  So-here are my XOXO blocks.  I had my grandpa cut me a bunch of 2x2 blocks for various projects and I decided to use them for this.  I painted them red and pink and then mod podged cute paper on them.  Then I pulled out my Cricket (which I LOVE) and used my SCAL program to find a font that I liked and cut it out in black vinyl and tada!  A cute little block set that was super easy and made with stuff I already had. Yea! 


I ended up making three!  One for me and my Mom and then one for my Sister-in-law, Elizabeth.  Her anniversary is on Feb 14th so I figured she would like a set.  Plus, she's been so busy with the new twins in the NICU and then two sick babes at home that I figured she won't be doing anything crafty for a while.  Hope they like them!
