The fun thing about weddings is choosing a gift for the couple.  Of course that's because I love to go shopping! Now I don't remember every thing I got for my wedding or who gave it to me, but there are a few items that have stood out over the 30 years.  Yes, 30 years, I have been married that long!  For instance, like the salad bowl we received from a cousin (it must have been the year for salad bowl because we got a TON of them) and on the inside of the bowl was a small card from his cousin that was addressed to him (the cousin)............and then there was another card inside that was to the first person from someone else!  It was hilarious, I often wish we would have saved it and just passed it on, collecting all of the cards and adding them to the inside.  I wonder where it would have ended up today.  That would be something fun to try in the future:)

     I like to give something meaningful, however if I find myself not prepared that doesn't always happen.  But here is an example of being prepared.  I collect old frames and then give them a make-over.  Some are sanded and some are painted.  Then I just start filling them.  I usually start with some paper and then start adding embellishments, which are my favorite.  Usually when you are starting out, you don't always think of what you will put on your walls, your just concerned with filling the home with supplies, so I thought this would be something to help the couple get started.  Depending on the size, these will start at $30 and go up from there.  Let me know if you are interested!  I love making these and sharing them with you!
