My Hubby wanted to throw these away!!!

Ok so to be "fair" to him this is what they actually looked like when he wanted to toss them

But still,  I see this 

when I look at this. 

So of course I am horrified at the thought of wasting such wonderful wood blocks!  I sanded the blocks down, then painted them, then decorated them.  As easy as 1-2-3.  Seriously that was three steps.

Oh except I missed a step which was Mod podge-ing them. (I LOVE making up words! Although I'm sure I'm not the first on that one...)  This was actually the first project on wood that I've used Mod podge.  (for some reason I  have only found myself using it on glass) It was easy and fun, the only thing is I started out with a thin paper and it bubbled like crazy.  So I just stuck with the thicker paper. 

Here is a close up of each of the letters. I will tell you the recipe for each letter under each letter. I like that I get to give recipes, because I am NO cook.  I CAN cook, I just don't like too, but I always hear people sharing recipes and they are both so excited.  I feel like I am missing out on something...

 until I cook...

 and then realize that I am not.

 I like to eat good food... that someone else makes and cleans up after.  Wow, I ramble... ok back to the blocks...

All the blocks letters are from Birthday Bash. 

I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky. 

Ok that was enough singing... 10 blog points to whoever can tell me what movie that is from...

The S has a bunny from Kates ABC's and grass from Plantin School Book.

The P has grass from PS and the boot and umbrella are from April Showers.

The R has a tree and flowers from April showers, the grass is from PS, the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch, the sun is from Create a Critter.

The I has a daffodil and bleeding heart from Walk in my garden and the grass is you guessed it PS.

The N is the planter box on Freshly picked.

The G has clouds from Pooh and friends, Grass from PS, I used a punch for the eggs and the bunny is from Easter 2010.
