HE SAID SHE SAID MANTLE

So, I am the last person to cover something in words, I know.  I'm okay being a follower, when it is all you super cool, creative bloggers that I am following.  I did change things up  though.  I am a rule follower  (see I told you I am a follower) AND CAN NOT IMAGINE DESTROYING A BOOK.  I am not judging anyone who has, I just can't.  So this is my version, I went though all the Valentine's Day cards that Sweet Daddy and I have given each other over the years and picked out my favorites.

I copied the things out of them that we had written to each other.

After I had all of my copies, I gathered my trusted jar of Mod Podge and a paint brush.

I ripped  around all the edges, because I didn't want any straight lines.

Then I recycled some cardboard into a heart form.

I started by covering all the edges, so that when I started applying the writing I wouldn't have to worry about the edges.

Next, I randomly placed the pieces.

I hung it with ribbon over the girls hand hearts.

I love that our words to each other are on display this Valentine's Day.  It was so much fun to go back and read them all,  there is one up there from before we were married.  I love my Valentine and treasure his words to me,  his love was mine yesterday, it is mine today and will be mine tomorrow.  I am blessed.

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day and if you don't have a special someone yet, remimber you always have Him.
