glassversary

since it fell on a wednesday, kacey and i celebrated our anniversary this weekend. i thought i’d share with you the gift i made for him.

we really try to follow the predetermined anniversary gift list, and the third anniversary is leather, crystal or glass. for months i thought about what to get him. i like to give him experience type of gifts, and after reading this post, i emailed brooke to see how her class went. she loved it and sent me a link to austin art glass which offers private glassblowing classes. i knew i had found the perfect gift for him.

i also knew i wanted something for him to physically open on our anniversary. i designed and printed out a larger card + a little card. i affixed a glassine envelope to the larger card, inserted the little card inside it and sealed it with a round sticker. the larger card was placed inside a jelly bean filled kraft box, and the box was tied with white twill tape. he absolutely loved it!
