Sometimes a lightbulb just goes off and you instantly know nothing will top that idea. For me, it was the day I came up with the idea to make Bo this farmhouse style sign for above our bed for our 10th Anniversary Gift. And when did I come up with this awesome idea? Oh, about two years into our marriage. Yeah, when I commit, I COMMIT.
I was walking through a Hallmark store and found an anniversary card that had a wooden front on it. It was SO pretty, stained a nice dark brown, engraved with a sweet saying. My first thought was “Oh, he’s never going to top this card”. My second thought was that these cards were so cool and unique, they really shouldn’t live in a cupboard collecting dust after they’re read.
Did you pick up on that? Yeah, I’m a bit of a hoarder with certain things, like cards. Cards are important to me, and I never throw them away. I’m going to need a storage locker to hold them all soon, but damn it, MEMORIES. In that moment the lightbulb went off. If I could find enough different, cool, wooden cards over the next 8 years, I could turn those covers into one hell of a sign for our room as a 10th Anniversary Gift.
