I\u2019ve been trying to find ways this year to weekly do something extra to show appreciation and love to Mary. I don\u2019t celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day or Mothers Day, and I always use the excuse that I show her appreciation and love all year round. I wanted to make sure it was actually true this year.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I came across an empty matchbox the other day, and before I through it away, I wondered if there was something I could repurpose it for.<\/p>\n

Right away, I thought I could do something for my weekly lovefest. I knew we had a scrapbooking punch that could make heart shaped holes (and conversely, tiny paper hearts). I figured I could make a matchbox of paper hearts.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

The first thing I did was cover the outside with red construction paper. I didn\u2019t cover the drawer because I ran out of time, but you could easily do that. Just be careful of making it too snug.<\/p>\n

Next, I cut a bunch of squares from the leftover paper.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2153\"<\/p>\n

I folded each square in half.<\/p>\n

Finally, I cut out a heart from each folded square.<\/p>\n

Then I put it all together.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Naturally, Mary loved it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
