These are a few of our favorite things...

Aaron's birthday was January 11th, and I was trying to come up with something that was both meaningful and not just another "thing" for us to add to our stuff. I came up with this with a little help from another crafting blog, which now I can't seem to find.  So if this was your original idea, take credit where credit is due.  Here is my version. 

Supplies you will need:
frame with mat
home printer to print maps or real maps you can cut up
scissors
glue
heart shape stencil
picture to put in your frame

Okay.... So you take your favorite places on a map ( I used Google Maps) or you can use a real map and trace the location in the heart stencil and cut out.  Then you simply glue the hearts on the mat of the frame and your done!  Add as few or as many as you like.  I selected our special vacation spots, our first date, where we were married, our kids locations of birth etc.
I loved the way it turned out and so did he :)

Happy Crafting!
