So yesterday was my husband and I's 5th year wedding anniversary. As husband and wife, we are always about making and remembering memories together and as a family. We love traditions and we love starting up one within our family. One specific tradition we have started is gifting each other with something that reflects the traditional wedding anniversary gift theme. If you are unaware of what this is, click here. So for the first year, the traditional wedding anniversary gift theme is paper. For that year, my husband gave me a shopping spree voucher printed on a piece of paper, not a clever idea but the shopping spree made up for it, lol! I gave him a mini album (of course, composed of paper and chipboard) titled, "The Story of Us". I think you get the idea of the mini album. Second year theme is cotton; he gave me a cotton dress, I gave him a customed cotton apron (since he loves to barbeque). Third year theme is leather; he gave me a designer leather purse and I gave him a designer leather belt. Fourth year theme is fruit or flowers; he gave me two boxes of chocolate covered strawberries and I gave him a single red rose.
As boring as this can go on, for the fifth year, the gift theme is wood. He gave me one of the perfumes from my favorite designer, Anna Sui. My husband had a hard time with this theme although he can easily get me a wooden hanger for our closet, he still tried to make it more meaningful for me. I collect Anna Sui perfumes and he had found out that the latest perfume she's released has the scent of flowers and wood mixed together. I must say, it smells so good! Well, you can't go wrong with her perfume anyway. What did I give him you ask??? Well, let's get this blog rolling... I altered yet another printer's tray! I know, I know!... ANOTHER printer's tray! (there will be another one to come *hint *hint). As most of you crafter's know, printer's trays are made out of wood and I just can't get enough of altering them! So, here's what I came up with:
I am very pleased with the outcome of this printer's tray and I'm so happy that I've finally created something that I can keep! If you would like to see my walk through process of how I created this printer's tray, please visit my YouTube channel by clicking here.
