{birthday week} The Birthday Box

Happy Birthday to us... Happy Birthday to us...

I can't believe it's been a year already.
(And, surprisingly, we never got the urge to strangle each other - haha)

We have found so many new friends over the last 365 days and that makes us so happy.
We hope you will all stick with us for at least, another 365.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Now on to today's project...

the birthday box


Jennifer and Jodie came up with this clever idea.
Every year they'll make a sheet (like the one further down) for each of their kids,
including a photo and a little questionnaire for the child to fill out themselves.
Then place the sheet inside the box for safe keeping. 


We spray painted the outside of the box.
And to decorate the lid, we used vinyl and the Silhouette,
but you could use rub-ons, stickers, stencils....
Then we just added a little fun with the pom pom trim. (just hot glued it on)

The following photos show the size and fonts used...
and here is a sample page for the inside...
*how sweet and special would it be if you wrote them a letter each year and attached it to the back of their birthday page?   a priceless keepsake...


as soon as they are old enough have them fill it out themselves. that way you can see how their cute handwriting changes through the years.  :)
