Remember how I said I had a new project idea? Well, I finished it! This was something that had been rolling around in my head for awhile, but I finally decided to do it for VDay this year.
I initially bought a circle punch to create a bunch of tiny round notes, but when I found this cute Valentine paper, I decided to go with that.
Cute Valentine Paper
My plan was to write 365 things that I love about Matt on them, like I love you because you are trustworthy. “Love” notes, if you will. Unfortunately, I couldn’t actually think of 365 things I love about Matt (I know, I know), so I improvised. I also wrote things like, Rachael will pack your lunch today. and Needing a little help? Ask Rachael one thing and she’ll take care of it today. and *Let’s put the baby to bed early tonight, if you know what I mean… I also added a few Bible verses (from God) and some Daddy love notes (from Caleb). I bought a pretty jar and put them all in there.
This was actually a great exercise for me. It really helped me think of small specific things that I am thankful for or love about Matt. Even when I got stuck for awhile, I went back later and was able to think of more. It was even good to work on it when I was upset with Matt for a few days. (Though not easy.) It helped me to stop throwing myself a pity party and get over my selfishness.
I think Matt liked it. We’ll see if he ends up reading one each day. I am sure he’ll like it more when he finds the *less boring* ones. (No cheating honey!) 
If this is something you want to try, I recommend typing it all out on a document first. I did this (password protected, of course) and it was easy to write in parts-I could highlight what I had already written and come back later.
I have a great idea of what to do with my leftover paper squares. If I ever follow through with it, I’ll let you know!
One of these days I am going to go through all my crafting and art supplies and make myself finish all the projects I once had in mind or started long ago. However, today is not that day. Alas. I am starting a new project. If I finish it, I will post about it on here. My hopes are high, because I have a deadline! Here is a sneak peek:
