interrupt grad season {homemade wrapping paper}

in the midst of graduation season and the lists of to-do's, there was an anniversary {ours}. who would have known when picking the wedding date so long ago, that in the cosmic scheme of things- this would fall into a horribly busy month filled with graduations and track meets.

so when i went to wrap my gift for my sweetheart of 25 years....i could not find any non-birthday kid wrapping paper. i did what any good artist would do- i cried! no, no, just kidding.....i went to my studio and made my own wrapping paper of course.

yep....25 years....here is to the next 25 years with my sweetheart.

anniversary tag

vintage ribbon and cotton hankie- 22 years for us.

a little felt and sewn on button

a little vintage chemistry book paper..."the years together will have resistance to shock and corrosion."  my husband is scientist, so the book paper is classic and humorous...

again, a little mix of chemistry- which all good relationships need to have to survive. had to add the bit about the kids- our anniversary was spent at a state track meet and supper out (we spent the day with family and friends and KFC....hey, i didn't have to cook now did i?)

i liked the mix of colors and textures and all the years together.
