Simple memory box & some other stuff!!

This one is easy and you can do it on any type of box you want to do it to.  I choose a sturdy wooden box and then simply printed out thumbnails of all my family/special pictures and used Mod Podge to attach the pictures.



 You need these items to do this gift. 

It was easy, but a little time consuming but worth it!  


I did this for my husbands gift for our anniversary.  Inside the box I put 366 (this year is leap your so there are 366 days) Popsicle sticks where on each of them I had written a reason I love him.  He gets to read one a day for the next year (I have done this for him for years, sometimes on cards, sometimes on little notes, but each day he does start the day with a reminder of why i love him & am thankful for him).



We are often called a very 'cheesy couple', but who cares what other people think.  On the front of the box I put a note that said "thanks for 'sticking' with me for 14 years and looking forward to many more.  We find e/o to be very punny ;)



I put a piece of wood in the middle of the box to separate the box so he can easily tell the sticks he has read verses the ones he has not (sometimes he keeps them, so I made sure he could if he wanted to).
