His Banner Over Me is Love

I wanted to do something special for Valentine’s Day this year.

I didn’t used to be a big Valentine’s Day girl, but years of faithfully being

unconditionally loved by Jesus and Mike has brought me around.

I was inspired by a collection of cards and letters that I’ve kept since before I was married.

This move I decided that it was time to up grade from the

three overflowing shoe boxes I had them in to something prettier.

I wanted a couple of those large decorative cardboard boxes to store them in

on the top shelf of my closet, but I couldn’t find one that I liked for a good price.

So after weeks of searching, I bought this tin chest for $14 at Marshalls.

So many sweet letters and cards

It doubles as a side table and almost all my letters fit in it;

meaning I needed to go through them all and weed out a few.

The ones I like best are the ones that are about everyday stuff

that was going on in the lives of my friends and family.

I carefully read all the ones with Bible verses, too for their rich encouragement.

I was so inspired that I really wanted to send all my friends and

family a Valentine’s Day letter. I spent hours looking for the perfect verse to share

and trying to think of something to say.

I decided that Song of Songs 2:4 was the perfect verse.

Then I ended up playing on photoshop and learning some new tricks

with some free brushes and made this banner.

Here’s a link to the brushes I found..

if you google “free photoshop brushes” you’ll find tons more.

It’s my very first Valentine’s Day decoration.

It says, “His Banner over me is LOVE. Song of Songs 2:4

I wasn’t quick enough to print out and mail the banners to everyone,

so I uploaded a pdf file of it for you to print and make your own

I printed mine on card stock, cut out each heart with different fancy edged scissors

and used a large needle to tie the hearts together with ribbon. Here’s the link:

Happy Valentines Day!

Enjoy!
