Kate October 9, 2012 - 3:53 am
!! I did this for my husband 3 years ago tomorrow for our wedding! it even turned out to be 52 things with the tag line “hundreds more to come”. it lives in his bedside table. That’s amazing that someone’s had the same idea :)
Emma | Emmaline Bride November 15, 2012 - 12:57 pm
Awww, that’s sweet! I love how you said it lives in his bedside table. It’s nice to know how much he appreciated it.

Lesley Marks August 3, 2012 - 11:05 am
so cute, just love it!!!
Patricia @BridalTrisha July 27, 2012 - 2:02 am
This is so cute! I would make this for my guy. It’s cute and sentimental. It means more because it’s something you made with your hands. Also, it’s something your future family can look back on.
judyschicoine July 7, 2012 - 3:43 am
iliked ur remarks!
Lisa June 26, 2012 - 2:31 pm
I did something similar when I was getting married. I dicut 100 pink hearts and wrote one thing I love about my husband on each one. Then 100 days out from the wedding I would hide a heart each day. He loved it!
Erica Hollingsworth June 12, 2012 - 8:22 pm
Since the first anniversary is the Paper anniversary, this is also a good gift for it. My husband and I will be together for a year come monday, and I’m loving making this for him!
Thanks for the great idea!
Emma | Emmaline Bride November 15, 2012 - 12:58 pm
Smart idea, Erica – I didn’t even put the two together about the Paper anniversary. Great point!
Crystal Couture June 7, 2012 - 9:43 pm
Lovely idea. Very romantic x
Courtenay May 29, 2012 - 11:43 am
Good idea, very different indeed :)
anne May 11, 2012 - 7:11 pm
Love the idea. Great !
Mariah May 3, 2012 - 11:57 pm
Love this! Stumbled upon this awhile ago and didn’t know what I would use it for, but then I realized it also works as a Mother’s Day gift. I’m working on mine tomorrow, and I can’t wait!
Any suggestions on where to purchase the binder rings?
EmmalineBride May 4, 2012 - 12:01 am
Hi Mariah,
What a great idea! Your mom will love it. You can buy the binder rings at any office supply store, like Office Max or Staples.
Happy Crafting!

That’s cute! I’ll made one for my soon-be-husband for sure :) It’s a nice part-gift for Norouz ceremony of us Iranians :)
Kate February 15, 2012 - 12:51 pm
Its absolutely beautiful and the fact that it’s hand made makes it even better.
Jerrah January 25, 2012 - 1:34 am
Where do you find/buy extra scrabble tiles?
Karen January 5, 2012 - 6:28 am
I absolutely LOVE this idea!!! So easy and so personal!
Tori January 3, 2012 - 2:27 am
I made one of these for my fiancee this past Christmas and he loved it! He had proposed a week or so before Christmas and we had decided not to do big gifts this year. It was the most inexpensive thing in his stocking, but after reading through them, he started to well up. It was awesome! I wrote mine on paper by hand and then glued them on. I also added little sketches and cut the paper in shapes that went along with the “reason” that was on the card. I spent $3 and 4 hours, and I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction.
EmmalineBride January 3, 2012 - 2:32 am
Tori,
That’s awesome! I’m sure your fiancee loved his gift. It’s true, handmade gift are always the most appreciated. I bet it was fun to craft, too!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your story!

Loved this idea SO much! Just finished making one for my husband! He is in the Army and is deployed right now!! Our one year is coming up in a few weeks! Sending this all the way to Afghanistan (:
Taylor {The Proposal Enthusiast} August 11, 2011 - 2:31 pm
This is such a sweet idea. I’m definitely thinking it will make a great anniversary present.
Katie August 10, 2011 - 3:27 pm
This is adorable and such a great idea! I think I am going to do this or something similar. Instead of doing the scrabble pieces I might do poker chips with our initials on them.
Claire CA August 9, 2011 - 4:59 am
This is a perfect first “paper” wedding anniversary present! Thank you!
Sam August 9, 2011 - 3:35 am
SO glad I found this. My boyfriend LOVES creative, home-made gifts and his birthday just past so I have been looking for new things that aren’t too girly. Now I know it’s directed towards a “spouse-to-be” but it’s our one year in december and I am a perfectionist SO this is the perfect project for me to do and have done AND to my liking by december. THANK YOU for thinking of this. (found via StumbleUpon haha) You are awesome. xox
Naomi August 8, 2011 - 12:50 am
I love, love, love this idea! What a cute and fun way to say “I love you!”…so adorable! xo

This is so very cute. I think I’ll try it as my “getting back into it” project.
Julia & Maria August 7, 2011 - 2:39 pm
This is darling! Oh so cute. I am definitely going to do this for my next anniversary. every year I do a gift and a homemade note or collage and last year I decorated a dvd case with pics of us and a cd of all of our songs. This is great for this year! Thanks so much

Awww so cute! I did something like this for my husband’s birthday a few years ago when we were dating. I forgot about it- I wonder where it is…

Really a great idea for something unique… Could be a great item to share with guests at the wedding near the sign in book!
Sam July 18, 2011 - 3:41 pm
This was such a cute idea! i didn’t quite use it for my soon to be husband, but my boyfriend who is going off to the military. love this!
Dareen July 17, 2011 - 1:41 pm
How creative !!
BayZest from San Francisco, CA July 16, 2011 - 1:27 am
About to get married (I’ll be the groom), looking for small little things to add charm. Something like this may be it. Our wedding is kind of contemporary country themed. I don’t know if the playing cards/scrabble pieces are the right aspects but I love the ___ things I love about you in a small booklet style…
(P.S. So happy I found your site via StumbleUpon)
Esther July 15, 2011 - 7:04 pm
I love this project so much I’ve featured the project on my blog! Hope you don’t mind… <3
