Rain of Reasons

I will never forget the expression of my husband when he entered to his office and saw all the messages and the Christmas lights. He was smiling and completely blown away.

This is my version of the 100 hundred reasons to love you.

What to buy:
  1. Three Packages of Foam Shapes, Heart  (Brand "Creatology™ ".Each package contains 35 foam hearts).
  2. One Ball of Yarn (I used white).
  3. One Glue Stick
  4. Visit the avery website to download and personalize the Template for Love Tickets 
  5. Christmas lights
  6. Foil Fringe Curtain
  7. One Hole Punch
  8. Tape
  9. Extension cord
You can get this items at Dollar TreeMichaelsParty CityStaples and Big Lots

How to set up:
  • In the top center of all the hearts make a hole.
  • Measure how long do you want  the yarn to hang the hearts from the ceiling. (Make sure it is long enough and close to the face. This way it will be easy to read and his or her neck won't hurt) .  
  • Once you have the measure begin to cut 100 strings with the same measurement.
  • Slide the string into the hole punch in the heart and make a  tight knot so it won't be moving.
  • Write down a list of the one hundred reason to love you.
  • Make the necessary modifications to the Avery template and begin to write in each one reason to love you.
  • Print the 100 reasons to love you (You should print 10 pages with a 10 reasons to love you aprox.)
  • Cut the 100 tickets and glue them to the foam shape.
  • Once all the foam shapes have a reason to love you, begin to hang the Christmas lights from the ceiling with the tape in form of waves to cover all the room.
  • Hang all the hearts from the ceiling with tape.
  • Hang the Foil fringe curtain from the top of the door from the room that you are going to decorate.
  • Make sure the room is dark so the Christmas lights will be able to provide the light and the romantic feeling.
  • Prepare a glass of wine and have a seat in the room with nice music while you wait for your loved one to arrive. 
  • Make sure to have your camera ready to get a picture of his /her first impression. It will be a moment that you will never forget.
My husband arrived and began to drink the glass of wine that was waiting for him while patiently started to read my 100 reasons to love him.

It was another beautiful moment were we sat and talked for a couple hours about this romantic and simple surprise.
