Starting 2015 off with a Bangity Bang Bang

2014 was a special year. Mr. 1Lyfe and I hit our 6 year wedding anniversary!!!! Yay for us!!! So while browsing through my local dollar store I found cute red heart shaped vases and long red candles. The butterflies of inspiration began to flap their wings! As time goes by I find it easy to fall into routines and forget to let your partner in this life know how special they are to you....so....to start 2015 off with a Bangity Bang Bang I did a very small and quick craft to say I love you and you are special to me. It is after the first but it is never to late to let the people who mean the most to you know they are loved. 

All relationships take work, no matter how much we take them for granted!!

 Now you have the back story let's get started!

Supplies
  • Vase (in this case I used the small red vase pictured below, however there are no rules so go for it)
  • Red candle (red is Hubby's favorite color, the color of love, and of course it matched the vase)
  • Glitter glue (only if you are recreating this exact look)
  • Decorations (get funky and make it personal)
  • A little bit of time. This will need to dry.

Start by using glass cleaner to remove all finger prints, oils, and dust. These will prevent your design and decorations from sticking to the glass.
Next take out your decorations and get funky with it!

I kept the design for Hubby super simple. He is not about the frills at all. 
After our Family New Years Eve Party (the babies beat us so bad at the games) and before bed I presented him the gift and explained its meaning. All that I was committing to do as a wife and a woman in 2015. If I am not a healthy woman (mind, body, and soul) I can not be a healthy wife. We held hands prayed for ourselves and our marriage. We ended by lighting the candle and entering the New Year together. 

This is an easy craft. It took no time to complete but the meaning was significant to our marriage and our values. It is perfect to customize (Valentine's day, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.) I hope that you can have fun with this and let someone know they are in your heart...now and forever.
