Vday Gifts 2009

Jose and I have a tradition were every Valentine's Day, instead of going out and buying each other some extravagant gift just because society tells us to, we take the opportunity to make each other a gift from the heart. We started this because the first Valentine's Day we spent together, I had a great idea of something I wanted to make for him (a scrapbook made up of the few baby pictures he has), so I said "lets make our gifts instead of buying them", and we've been doing it ever since. I for one LOVE this tradition, and highly recommend it :)

This year was no different. For my gift to Jose, I typed up our wedding vows (we wrote our own) and put them side by side in a frame.
For Jose's gift to me, he got a picture frame that has several openings, and filled it with pictures of us. There is a pic of us from each year: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
Can't wait till next year! Only 12 more months to think of something else to make :)

xoxo,
