Truth: I’m married to the most amazing person I have ever known. He’s the love of my life and the man I always dreamed would be my husband.
Awful Truth: I don’t always tell him how much he means to me or how much I love him. Life gets busy and we settle into a routine of casual “I love yous” and kisses goodnight.
Today marks our eighth wedding anniverary. Yep, the Mathlete has been putting up with my shenanigans for an entire eight years. They’ve been awesome for sure and I look forward to so many more.
This year though, in addition to our tradition of spending a day away, I wanted to give him something to remind him all the time how much I love him.
Now, this obviously isn’t revolutionary since it was on fire on Pinterest a few months ago. I’m typically late to the party though so no surprises I’m so behind on getting on this…
I bought an 8×10 artists canvas from the craft store. With my Cameo {that I still barely understand how to use}, I cut out the words “P.S. I Love You” and placed them on my canvas.
I brushed a coat of modge podge over it to seal the vinyl and let it dry…for 4 months. Or at least, in my mind it was really taking the modge podge that long to dry 😉
I knew I wanted this to live over on the table Mathlete keeps his keys, wallet and phone on so I painted it the fun green that is on our bathroom walls.
One coat…
Two coats…
I peeled off the letters to reveal {mostly} crisp white lettering against the bright green.
I wrapped the sides of my canvas in this cute blue striped washi tape I had and gave it a quick coat of modge podge too.
I hot glued a small clothespin on and my canvas was ready for all the little love notes to Mathlete for the next 100 years or so 🙂
Happy Anniversary, Mathlete {although hopefully you aren’t reading this until after I give you this gift}.
