Valentines Wooden Letters

Pin It
Here is the only decor I have made for Valentines so far and actually made these a couple of years ago. My son keeps on asking when I will put out more stuff! I will have to get on the ball and make some new decorations to add for next Valentines day!


I bought these wooden letters at wood connection in Utah and got this scrapbook paper at a local scrapbook store.


First I traced the wooded letters onto scrapbook paper then I cut out the letters. Next I painted the edges of the wooden letters with brown acrylic paint then I modpodged the paper letters onto the wooden letters and when it was dry I sanded the edges of the paper with sandpaper to add a little more detail.

Brights and furry boots

For our family pics this year I wanted to have a little fun with color. I knew I wanted red but  that is always a pretty traditional color for pics so I happened to have this blue cardigan that I got during the summer at Khols for $4! Just  the perfect extra color I wanted to add! Oh and of course how can I not mention these grey booties that were very much not my usual style but I fell in love with the moment I put them on!

I will usually buy my chicken than marinade it in ziplock bags and freeze them till I want to use them
but if you are making it fresh let the chicken marinate for 30 min.

fry it up with cooking spray

Blend it

Than wrap it in lettuce leaves

* if you want a little more filler I sometimes add some brown rice on top of the chicken



The ingredients 
Package of chicken breast tenders 
Teriyaki marinade (2 tbs per 4oz of chicken)
6 lettuce leaves 

Makes 3 servings 

Nutrition info
                         162-182 calories (depending                          on the brand of chicken)
