Ok gal pals, I've had my coffee(s) and am feeling sentimental. Time for a little DIY action. I love this idea, brought to you by Houzz via Pinterest, because let's be honest...where else? It's easy, meaningful and encourages drinking. What more could you ask for in a project?
What you will need:
-Three shadowbox frames. The deeper, the better. I got mine at Target, because again, where else?
-Old corks you have saved from special dates: anniversaries, your cat's birthday etc.
-Hot glue gun.
-Gold paint pen, or color of your choice.
That's it.

| No shortage of corks at my place. |
What to do:
Step 1: Center each cork on the white backing of the frame (you may have to saw off a portion of the cork to make it fit, depending on the depth of your frame. I used a serrated knife for mine) and hot glue it into place.
Step 2: Use the paint pen to write the date underneath the cork that corresponds with the special occasion you are trying to remember. I chose the dates from my first anniversary with my boyfriend and our first Christmas together. Collective "Aww." My third frame is still empty, which clearly means we need to start chugging, no?
Step 3: Put your frame back together and voila! Instant art. Please hold your applause, I know that was tough for a Wednesday morning.
Now, if I could just figure out where to hang mine...first world problems.
