anniversary day!


Happy day! Today is our third wedding anniversary! Roger and I got married here in Vancouver at Heritage Hall in 2006... wow, seems like only yesterday (insert dreamy sigh here). Here is a pic of our wedding card that we illustrated together and the mini button magnet sets we made as wedding favors.... the whole event had a pink and chocolate brown theme. We googled to see what the traditional third anniversary theme would be (1st is paper, 2nd is cotton), and found out year #3 is... leather?! I know everyone is snickering right now... 'cause that's what we did too. Anyhoo, we will be heading out to a nice dinner tonight to celebrate... can't wait! 

ps. thanks to Lori for featuring one of my prints on her blog So I was Thinking today!

    Congrats. Samantha and I got married in 2006 as well! She made me a nifty key chain out of leather and a vintage key. Happy 3rd!

    Love this post. I've been hoping to make some buttons and magnets too.

    Thanks for linking my blog...I ended up featuring you the same time as a friend of mine who writes The Jealous Curator did. Great minds think alike I guess.

    Have fun with your leather gifts to each other, hehe. ;-)
