I wanted to make something special to hang on our wall, that could grow with us as a family, reminded me of what was important, and was something pretty to look at too! No pressure. One of my favorite hymns came to mind "Love at Home." I love the words and especially the line:
"Roses bloom beneath our feet, all the earth's a garden sweet, making life a bliss complete, when there's love at home."
Aren't those words just beautiful?! So I took my favorite phrases from it and painted them on a board I had laying around. Since my brushstrokes aren't perfect, I outlined my letters with a sharpie. I painted some roses beneath the words, you could use a stencil for all this but I like to free hand it. Then I made my husband step in paint, such a good sport, and stamp his foot. I did mine next, and then stamped our then 4 month old's foot. So that little the roses literally bloom beneath our feet =) I left room for the other children that will come. David's friend was laughing wondering how MUCH room I left for other little feet. =) 7 more??? just kidding!
Pretty simple project, but sentimental nonetheless and I love love it.
