Newlywed (not quite year and a half) and new parents (4 months) we were pretty stinkin' broke! I wanted a special Valentine's gift for my sweet hubby since he continued to love me despite my tremendous weight gain during my pregnancy (seriously folks, I was huge!)
Any way, this is what I came up with.
(Yes, I know there is no apostrophe in "Spaenys" - I'll get around to changing it one day)
Then, after our second one was born I decided it was time to do another one.
(Yes, I realize I put an apostrophe in "Spaenys" again. You try nursing two boys for a combined 2 1/2+ years and see how much brain you have left! I'll get around to changing this one, too.)
All you need is some coordinating scrapbook paper, a pair of scissors, a frame and a paint pen to improperly write your family name and the holiday.
*Just a little hint, if you are right handed, trace everyones left hand. It's easier to do your own hand that way.
And here I am close to delivery day!
I told you I was huge! Can you believe how smokin' hot my husband is? Yea, ladies, he's all mine! This was us on Ty England's tour bus (our next-door neighbor was his Road Manager).
I've linked this idea at Tatertots and Jello!

I really meant to do this ... my plan was to trace my sons' hands every birthday and then put them all together to show how they were growing. I like the idea of putting all the family handprints together. Thanks for sharing!

I would love to hang this in your new baby's room in the spring once he/she arrives! Thanks for the great idea :)

We don't' have kids (yet) and I doubt it would look even half as cute with our puppy's paw print, but, I'm going to pass this awesome idea along to my friend. Adorable!

ReplyDeletesharing on FB...I love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best hands thing I have ever seen in my life. I just love the family of hands, and it is very tastefully mounted.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing idea. I can't wait to do this with my family!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! This will be this week's project :) Thanks bunches
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the idea. I made it for valentines! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8111910&l=cf1595923e&id=530388754

ReplyDeleteUsed the idea for this upcoming Father's Day!
Love this idea :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm doing it with the grandkids for my mother in law as a Christmas gift this year!!
ReplyDeleteI'm choosing this craft for a get-together with some girlfriends (and our kids!). I needed something "just right" that would suit the massive and age-ranging brood and this is a perfect fit! Each family can make one, and for sure it won't end up like the some of the more unfortunate crafts that...well, I mean, we can't keep them ALL, can we??!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower and I love this idea, thank you! I made one of our family and it added just the right amount of color to our picture gallery - http://www.onedogwoof.blogspot.com/2011/11/old-frames-new-art.html.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Wish I had thought of it when my kids were little. You don't have to change The Spaney's if it stands for The Spaney's Hands!!! This is like a rebus story. You have use a picture of hands to replace the words.
ReplyDeletePinterest brought me to you. I made it for my mom and in-laws and everyone loves!!! TY much for sharing. I will post a pic on my blog in a few days if you want to see mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting! I saw this while browsing pinterest and decided to make one for our family! I wish I could share the pic here!
ReplyDeleteThis is TOO cute, I can't make to one for our family!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm stealing your idea.. Already working on it.. I'm not very creative and feel bad that I have to STEAL someone else's idea.. booo ;(
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this lovely idea. One of the best things I've seen on Pinterest. Definitely plan to give it a try, many thanks!
