Despite my attempt to devote this weekend to studying for my upcoming exams I broke down and did some crafting. I can’t help it…every so often I feel the NEED to “make something” whether it’s crafting, building, baking (I did just make some banana bread tonight too!) or whatever, that’s my stress release. I completed Veronica’s graduation announcements but since she won’t get them for another couple days I figured it’s only fair to wait to show you after she sees them.

Here’s a new little item that has been floating around in my head for awhile. Well, the basic idea of it has; (since I saw something Kim W. made) and I literally threw this design together last night as a test run for the plaques Andy custom cut for me and I think it’s pretty cute. Have a look:

It reads: “I choose you to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, trusting what I do not yet know. I will respect you as an individual, a partner, and an equal. I promise to laugh with you when times are good and endure with you when they are bad. You are my best friend and I will love you always.”

I took a photo from our wedding of our rings on my bouquet and overlayed our vows. I printed it, adhered it to a wooden plaque, and added vinyl lettering and embellishments. Fun, right?

Have I mentioned that I CAN’T WAIT TO BE DONE WITH SCHOOL so I can play more with my fun tools?!?! I’m looking to put on some “Make and Take” events too, for anyone interested!
