THICK & THIN WOODEN VALENTINE HEART

I would love to have a renovation update for you, but I don't.  Not because things aren't getting done, because they are, but slowly.  The weather is not my friend.  It's beyond frustrating.  Suzan at Simply Vintageous...by Suzan was giving me a little grief about not making a ton of Valentine crafts like I usually do, so I decided to make something yesterday instead of being all frustrated.  Suzan loves hearts, so ....
A couple of years ago I found some ugly wooden hearts.  Somewhere in my computer there is a picture of them, but I'm too lazy to search for it.  I primed them with white spray primer and then they sat around for a year.  I outlined the heart with black marker.
Some black and white washi tape was the perfect width for covering the edges.

Since I don't have a silhouette and because I wanted to finish this craft in like 20 minutes, I opted for some "rub on" words.  Too easy.
"Thick and Thin"....yep, that pretty much describes our 20 plus years of marriage for sure.
I found a cute little stick on dot just to give it some 3-D-ness.  Gave about 30 seconds thought to adding some more bling and voted no.  
I stuck it up on a little shelf in my black and white bedroom.  Which reminds me...I never posted more about my black and white bedroom.  Oh well.  Now it has a black and white heart that reminds me that Valentines Day is really all about loving someone through thick and thin.
