Anniversary Gift

The Hubby and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary this month so I wanted to do something different. With having 2 small kiddos at home we don't always make time for dates like we used to. So for his gift I took a small tin (the traditional 10th anniversary gift) box and decorated it with my Silhouette. Inside I used rub-ons on envelopes to create "invites" to go out each month for a pre-planned activity. Since I love to scrapbook I also started a book to record our dating adventures this year. I am aiming to do things that we haven't done but are always commenting that we should do or things that we haven't done in a long while. Should be a fun year! I had inspiration for this idea from the Dating Divas Website.
