I've been so proud of myself lately with my clever gift ideas! I thought I'd share them with you since the holidays are coming up and there are birthdays and anniversaries year-round. You know how wedding anniversaries have themes? Like year 25 is silver and year 50 is gold. Your first wedding anniversary is supposed to be paper themed.
So I made Ian a little photostrip including all of the big/fun things we did during our first year of marriage!
On the back I printed my wedding vows and then this (not all pictured here):
During our first year of marriage we honeymooned in Maui, ministered at Pure Rebellion in Colorado, played at Disneyland with my family, moved to Portland, house-boated at Lake Shasta, and celebrated our one year anniversary in Cancun!
Here are a couple other fun ones from our past!
This one was taken soooo long ago! I think I was probably 13 or 14....
And this one was taken at a fun arcade in Seattle when we went 2 years ago!
Even though paper is only for the first year anniversary, I think I'll probably make one of these for every year of marriage. It's like a nutshell of memories! And I'll start putting them in a jar on display for all to see : )
Do you girls stick to traditional anniversary gifts? Leave a link if you've blogged about any clever gift ideas you've had!
Once we finish getting our new apartment put together, I will share pictures! I can't wait to show you our new bed with a white tufted leather upholstered headboards! And I'm currently searching for the perfect floor lamp, some finishing touches on our bedroom and a few more clocks for our wall of clocks! Come back soon!
