frame the key to your first home
so after you have been together or ten years, what do you give your husband for Valentines Day? I am inspired by this idea I found on pinterest…. the most addictive and fun website… EVER.
I want to frame a key of our first home because I know regardless of how long we stay here it will always be so special to both of us. And in the background of my frame instead of the newspaper shown above, I am going to type all of our older addresses because we lived together through college so we have a lot of old apartment addresses.
I hope he likes it. I know it is something we can cherish when we’re old! Happy love day to everyone out there!
xoxo,
Amy
