A Special Anniversary

Today is a special anniversary for my and the BF. It is one of the last ones we'll get to celebrate before we get married next year and then we'll have a brand new day to celebrate. Today makes eight years for us. When I was 16, I never imagined that my high school boyfriend would end up being the person I'm walking down the aisle with. Sure, I use to scribble down Mrs Future Such-and-Such on my notebook when I was bored, but what high school girl doesn't do that. I consider myself extremely blessed to have found my soul mate at such a young age and I honestly cannot wait to tie the knot with this guy.

Anniversaries and Birthdays

I think I'm making headway on my card-to-do list before I leave for vacation. Today I was able to finish my parents anniversary card (which may be their 29th and not 30th), the birthday card for my co-worker and for my BF's mom.

This is the anniversary card. I wanted something very simple. I think it could have come out a little better but overall, I'm satisfied with it.

This is the birthday card for my coworker. It's for a guy so I tried to make something a little more masculine.

Lastly, this is the card for my "mommy-in-law" (my BF's mom). For her, I went in the other direction and wanted something soft and feminine.

I would love to hear everyones opinions! Let me know what you think.

And congratulations to Stephie C. who entered the Paisley Passion giveaway and won! I'll be contacting you soon Stephie! I hope you love your prize.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is my anniversary!!!! Well in my view anyway. No I'm not married but Webster's defines anniversary as "the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event" and this date is a notable event for me. As of today, my BF and I have been together for 7 years. That's right, seven - since I was 16. Check out the card I made for him below (minus my personal message to him, of course). I don't know what we're doing today but I'm just happy we get to spend it together. I wouldn't trade these past seven years for anything in the world. He's my best friend and I just look forward to spending another seven (or eight, or 100) years together. Happy Anniversary Baby!
