Tomorrow we will have been married for one year.
YAY FOR SURVIVING!!
But seriously, its amazing how fast a year can go.
We agreed to stick with the traditional wedding anniversary themes, and the first one is paper. Since tickets to somewhere fantastic like Mexico were not in the budget, Grayson Boy needs to eat and have some clean diapers after all...I started thinking about what I could make.
The hubs has been saying he wants to start a gallery wall in our front entry way, so I thought that might be a good place to start.
I saw similar projects like this out there, but I cant find them to link back and give credit. (If this was your idea, let me know and Ill link you up!)
This is the finished product:
Super easy and super cheap. I bought a frame from Ikea ($9.99), and printed maps from Google Maps of the places we met, the Church where we got married, and our current address.
Then using Word I made the We Met, We Wed and We Love labels.
After printing I made a heart template, and traced it out on the maps. Then I made a slightly bigger one to cut out a backing to make the maps stand out a bit.
A little rubber cement later and voila! A super cute custom piece of art.
Oh and the best part...this guy helping me out the whole time:
LOVE that kid. (Even if he does make it really hard to cut out hearts and glue things together)
I'm doing a similar project for my boyfriend for christmas...love it!

ReplyDeleteAfter being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647
