Thrift Store Find! Wooden Tic Tac Toe Blocks for Valentines!

Sometimes on a Saturday, my daughter and I love to visit this little Thrift Store that's a few blocks away from our home.
We always get excited and wonder what type of "treasure" we will find that day.  We always find something pretty special.
Our mission for this particular trip was to think outside of the box and find things that we could use for Valentine's Day decorating and gift giving.
I went through the toy section and found these wooden Tic Tac Toe blocks.  There were 5 of the Xs and 4 of the Os and the total cost for all was just $1.00!  I snapped them up quickly.
Once home, I spray painted the blocks White (the blocks were a good size and I put a scrabble tile down so you could get a better idea). 
I then let the first coat dry, then sprayed them with 2 coats of Red Paint.
Once dried, I sanded down the edges to give a distressed look.  These XO sets made perfect little gifts to give for Valentine's Day!
