My (late) 3rd year anniversary gift

Chris finally bought me my third anniversary gift... after a long tiring search we decided the Cath Kidston polka dot wallet. After we received it like 2 weeks ago, I insisted on it being wrapped and a card or letter to go with it. I don't want to compromise on the effort in giving the gift. :) Three days passed and no letter. So I insisted on a handmade card since he was already 3 months late and still nothing.

I still could not rceceive my gift because he still hasn't made the card. It was only on Saturday while I was busy working on my bouquet, that he finally completed making the card for me. It was gorgeous and beyond my expectations. It basically blew me away and moved me to tears from the effort he put into making it. This guy never fails to move me with what he does for me and it reminded me of why I married him. It is his distinct silent yet full of 'heart' character that makes people like him so much.

Check out the impressive card he made...using my tools and paper of course... it really put my rubberstamping/craft-making to shame... haha


The wallet and front of card which has a ribbon to 'seal' the card. Notice our wedding couple icon embossed in the centre of the scallop circle?


The back of card which looks like the reverse of the front. Note the doily lace punch details. Love it!

The heartfelt effort put into creating this pop-up inside the card really made me cry.
Isn't Chris so sweet?

the ring...

I had meant to upload this but didn't get around to doing it. Ok I plucked a pic from the Net. This is the ring Chris bought me.... It's still gorgeous and shiny... but the necklace I got from US by Elsa Peretti kinda sucked.... the chain has tarnished and with cloth polish it still doesn't get back to its original shine... the pendant is also starting to tarnish a bit. This was after Tiffany polished for me and I decided to wear it daily. I think my sweat was too much for it. I have to dip it in polish solution though I haven't quite done it yet.
