Homemade Gift Giving......

I think that the most precious gifts that I have been given are those that are homemade....
So this year for Korey and Summuer's 10th Anniversary
(Can you believe 10 years have gone by already!)
I decided to make them something that came from my heart.
Korey loves bicycle riding in his spare time
so I asked him for some old bike sprockets that he was going to throw away.
Here is the result of his discarded sprokets......




I also made a miniature photo album for them...
What was special about this?
Well it was handmade from sheets of pretty paper and the sheets were hand sewn together to form the book. Then I covered the book in satin from my wedding dress!
Also, the lace and pearls are from the train of my wedding dress.
Each pearl from my dress was hand-sewn by my grandmother.
The front of this photo album has a shadow box that I made that enclosed Korey & Summuers
wedding day picture and a few objects that were special.
Buttons from my grandma who was a seamstress all of her life, a key that was Uncle Duckies and an earing of mine.


Inside this photo album
 is
 many pictures of the 10 years that
 Korey & Summuer have spent together.
There are also blank pages for them to continue
their journey of adventures....

This is an anniversary gift I made for Kim one year.

I made this mosaic table for Liz and Hiram for their anniversary this past July.
So if your anniversary is coming up......
You never know....
You just might get something special from me.....
That is if you are one of those special people in my life.......
