Words of Affirmation.....

Doesn't everyone want to know they are loved?

I know that at times in my life,

just a simple caring word made a difference.

How about making a simple gift that lets someone know

 how loved they are?

That's exactly what I did for my husband.

Let me share this "Creation From My Heart" with you...

I started by making the card.  After I attached the striped paper to the front of the card, I used my sewing machine and added a zig zag stitch round the outer edge.  If you have a sewing machine, try this it's a lot of fun and adds some texture to your project. 

Next step, I added an oval frame that held the words

 "You are Loved". 

I mounted the clock decal to a piece of chip board

 and inked the edges.

  For an extra embellishment I added a button

to the center of the clock.

This is a fun game we play at the dinner table from time to time to time.  We started it when my boys were small and it had been a  day where they had been well lets say....

 not so very nice to each other. 

 We would sit at the dinner table and each of us had to say something that we loved about the other people sitting at the table.  By the end of dinner, everyone felt better. 

 Isn't it funny, how when we're older we sometimes think

 we don't need to do that any more?

Well, I thought my husband needed some words of affirmation.  He's the kinda guy who would do anything for his family and for others.  He has always led by example

and he never waivers in his beliefs.

 

I made 5 cards and labeled them. I gave my boys each a card and my in-laws each a card and asked them to write

something that special that they loved about my hubby.

I just used some rubber stamps to put the names on the cards...

  To the top of each card I stapled a simple brown ribbon.  This can be used to pull out the card.  I attached a pocket in the inside of the card and used another frame to hold the words...

Just a simple gift that you can make, which will let someone know how much you love and value them.

Wouldn't you love to get a card like this?

 I know I would.
