DIY: An After Baby Marriage Builder

As a teacher, I love little things that I can create to use in my classroom. I have smaller frames (5 x 7) with slim black frames that I post our daily objectives on in the classroom. I also have a small one of these that I created on a rainy day that I was completely bored. Here

I saw this idea of a "I love you because board" on Pinterest and just had to do it because it was cheap and easy. Plus, lets face it. After a baby, you barely have time to pee or eat let alone have time with your spouse telling him all the reasons that you love him. Trust. Those up and down at night wakings will have you stumbling blurry eyed till you may not know even what day it is. Or at least that is how I feel with my difficult sleeper. 

This is just one of those things that we can do to make each other happy and let the other one know we still love and appreciate one another. This is not something that we do everyday, although that would be nice, but it is much nicer to have it be something spontaneous and not forced. That way you know that the other person was really feeling that way at that exact moment. Again Trust. It will make the smiles that much bigger. 

This project can be completed with things you probably have already in your home. 

What you need: 
a frame (this one is an 8 x 10 purchased at Walmart for under $4.00)
a piece of scrapbook paper (purchased at Hobby Lobby for like .11 cents)
an old dangly earring
Super glue or hot glue/gun
computer and printer
Vis a Vis Pen or other wet erase marker-I find it cleans up better than dry erase

Seriously, all you do is type this up in Word, pick your fonts, and print on your scrapbook paper. I like that the love looks a little different. I thought about making the love red but changed my mind at the last minute. (I am in the process of making a similar one for Korbin Bru's room but without the flowers. I have something else in mind for him). Pop that paper in the frame and you are done. If  you don't particularly like the frame or are looking to jazz it up, find an old earring that you don't mind disassembling. This is actually one earring. I just took all the flowers off of it and started sticking them on with super glue until I got a look that I wanted. I had one left over so it went in the opposite top corner. 

Voila. A completely unique frame that just might make my husband say romantic things...lol
