My two weekly crafting buddies...surprised hubby and I with making us a very special dinner for our Anniversary. They went all out...pretty tablecloth on the table (my favorite color Pink) Lit candles and Cherie used her best dishes...we had what seemed like a $100.00 a plate dinner. She made us appetizers, home made soup., our entree, and dessert.
They made place cards, and special keepsake napkin rings, and presented me with flowers. (because I didn't have any on my wedding day. They were my favorite flower...pink roses.
The gift that they made for us, was an explosion box. This is the outside of the box.
And this is the inside of the box, (My pictures aren't the best and does not do this justice!) They told me that it took them about two weeks to make this. I definitely believe them, so many neat details, with the rose arbor and all the pockets, with tags to put photos and journaling on. I believe it was made with all Stampin' Up supplies.
These two special people, Cherie
And Kathi
are two very creative and giving people. I am so blessed to have them in my life!
And I know that they will be reading this...so
I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart...
they will never know how much this meant to me...
