Be Brave Little One Wood Sign by Joyful Island Creations

I'm a big fan of wood signs.  I think they are so neat and unique and they seem to fit any theme, in any room.  When I was looking for signs for my grand-son's nursery, I wanted a theme that went well with the Woodland Animal theme his mother had for his nursery.  

The wood sign, shown below, is perfect!  It had an outdoorsey feel and look, the wording, "Be brave, little one", describes the adventure that is about to follow for my grandson, Brody.  It is a wood sign that goes well in any room or nursery.  When looking for Woodland or Forest Animal themes, you can't go wrong with personalized wood signs.


This wood sign, as well as 88 other wood signs, are available over at Joyful Island Creation on Etsy.  Amanda has a way with words and some of these words or quotes, are very popular ones you see today.  The lettering is done in white while the arrow is a mint color.  The sign is made with reclaimed wood and then stained.  


The sign is approximately 10" x 10" and comes ready to hang.  Each sign is different and unique, because depending on the wood, its knots and lines, the sign will stain differently, giving it it's own unique look.  The sign is very well made, sturdy and has a very rustic look to it.  I love it!  And let me tell you...you're not going to get a sign that is thin and delicate.  Oh, no.  This sign is made from real reclaimed and re-purposed wood, which has a thickness to it, that will last.

You can visit Joyful Island Creation on Etsy for this sign, as well as tons of others.  If you don't see what you want, let Amanda know and she will be more than glad to customize your own saying or quote.  Below are just a few samples of what Amanda has to offer in her Etsy store.

Western Cedar Grilling Planks (8 Pk) Review

I have never grilled with any type of wood chips, let alone, wood planks, but I've heard so much great things about grilling with them to add flavor to your food.  I was thrilled when I received my Western Cedar Grilling Planks in the mail!  I couldn't wait to use them, to see what all the fuss was about.  

Let me begin by saying....THE WOOD PLANKS DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  They add that hint of flavor to fish, Salmon, chicken, steaks and vegetables.  You can actually cook anything you want on these Cedar planks, just to give it more flavor.

These planks will give your ordinary seasoned food more OOMPH!  Instructions say to soak these planks for 1-2 hours, although, I would recommend soaking them for the full 2 hours, to eliminate some of the burning.  If not soaked for the recommended time, you may end up with burnt edges around your planks.  If soaked fully, you should get about 2-3 uses out of each plank.  

The planks, once they've been soaked, will begin to smoke when you put them on the grill and begin grilling.  This is normal. The planks are 15" x 5.25" x 3/8".  Separating the meats from the vegetables, when grilling with the planks, is recommended.  We don't want any cross contamination!




You can grab these full of flavor planks by visiting Amazon.  The list price is $39.99, but they are marked down to $24.95 + shipping.
