Today.
Today is my oldest daughter's 8th birthday. Wow. I still can't believe it! Everyone tells you the time goes fast, but you don't realize that it actually does....until it actually does. It goes so fast.
My 8 year old. She's spunky, fun, energetic, quick and marches to her own beat. I love that about her! But sometimes, I get the feeling that she doesn't love those things about herself.
So I decided to give her a little boost by giving her a frame (I'm going to let her decorate it) that I'll fill with a new quote every few days. I got most of the ideas for the quotes off of my Pinterest "Inspiration" board. I love using the Internet to inspire! There's too much garbage out there anyways these days.
Here's the lowdown!
Start with a cheap, wooden, customizable frame. I got this one at JoAnn's in the clearance section for $2.
Grab some fun papers and cut them to size. My frame holds a 4 x 6 inch photo, but it has rounded corners, so I just made the papers a little bit smaller, so I wouldn't have to round all the corners. (hey, it works!)
I was proud that I used materials for this that I had around the house, and even got out my Creative Memories personal trimmer from my scrapbooking supplies. I haven't used this thing in ages! Is Creative Memories even around anymore?!
Search and find just the right quotes and write them on the papers. Nothing fancy!
Gosh, I love a good quote!
And voila! That's it! Easy peezy!
Once we get the frame painted, I'll share that too.
I am going to start with this quote:
Your voice is my favorite sound.
Your name is my favorite word.
Your hugs are my favorite feeling.
Your smile is my favorite sight.
I love you. You are amazing!
What's your favorite quote? I'd love to hear, please share in the comments!
Thanks for reading!
