Pals Paper Arts challenge this week was Clean and Simple with rounded corners. Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette and Beau Chateau Designer Paper worked beautifully together to create this soft and sweet anniversary card. Hard to believe my daughter and her husband are coming up on anniversary number 3!
My parents were wintering in Florida on the date of their 50th anniversary. A family party was planned when they returned to NY but we wanted to do something special on their actual wedding date. My daughter was in high school at the time and we decided to send her down to surprise them for the occasion. Friends would pick her up in Melbourne and take her to my parents' house. On the way to the airport we talked about how surprised Gram and Pop would be when she came strolling in. I told her that they were going to think that she was the best anniversary gift ever! As we headed back to the car after her plane took off, my son (who was about 12 at the time) said: "Mom, do me a favor. Don't ever send me Erin as a present!" Ahhh brotherly love................
