DIY Gifts: Artsy Love

In another post I went into one of the gifts I gave my husband while he was attending flight school in Pensacola, Florida. Honestly, I am always giving him DIY items (usually that I have found on Pinterest!) and he always loves them. There is nothing better than the thought which goes into a gift you make yourself. Not only is there the thought that goes into making it, but also what goes into first choosing to make it and why you think the other person would like it. Obviously, you choose something because you think it will have meaning. I always try to give my hubs something that tells him how much I absolutely love and adore him and how much I love spending time with him!

Artsy Love
 This is another thing I gave my husband while he was down in Pensacola, a little 6x6 hardcover sketchbook filled with little cutesy, lovey dovey, pictures and quotes. Pretty simple if you are the kind of person that likes to draw. Honestly, you do not even have to be good at it: The person you are giving it to will mostly likely not even care if you draw like a kindergartener. It is the thought that counts and they will love it no matter what! At the very end of the book, probably the last 10 pages or so, I wrote him another love letter telling him how much he means to me and how much I absolutely love him! You can never tell someone how much they mean to you too much or too often!! Anyway, I do not have process shots but I do have completed shots!

Our Lovely DIY Save the Dates!

I knew that I had to do something cute for our save the dates that was "us." I decided to use our engagement photos (some of which I even took myself with a tripod and remote!) and make cute overlays on them or generate a complete design all by myself! Not gonna lie, I got most of my basic ideas from Pinterest! However, I changed each on to fit our style and the style of our wedding! I came up with 10 designs total but decided to only use 9 of them in the end.

DIY Gifts: 52 Reasons I Love You

When we were dating and our first Christmas was coming up I wanted to do something special for my husband (then boyfriend). I saw an interesting idea on Pinterest and I took it a step further.

The idea was I would get a deck of cards and come up with 52 reasons why I loved him. It may seem like a daunting task but if you truly love someone then it is surprisingly easy to come up with 52 reasons why that is. Even though 52 seems like a large number, believe me, you will be wishing you had more cards!

Welcome to My Blog. How About a Little Background?

Hello, and if you are reading this, welcome to my blog! Here I plan to write about my experiences and adventures being married to the love of my life, a Naval Officer. I want to talk about where we have been, what to do there, our adventures getting there, and generally mine and our experiences dealing with the Navy and just about everything else. The ups, the downs, the good, the bad, and the ugly!
