Weekend Wrap-up
This past weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated my birthday (which was Tuesday) and Valentine’s Day (which was Thursday). Since we do the whole long-distance thing, we couldn’t celebrate these days during the work week. We had a great time exchanging gifts, going out to a nice dinner, and relaxing. Here are a few snapshots.
The gift I made for James for Valentine’s Day. It’s a broquet instead of a bouquet. Flowers for men doesn’t make sense, so instead I used liquor, junk food and gift cards!
Beautiful Valentine’s Day flowers from James. Tulips and lilies!
James’ sweet Mom got me these shirts- she knows my favorite color is yellow (can you tell?)
Parents birthday gift to me- a Lo & Sons camera bag (doesn’t it look like a normal purse from the outside?)
My birthday gift to myself- a new perfume
James got me chocolate for Valentine’s Day. I think this might last me until February 14, 2014.
Pretty sapphire earrings for Valentine’s Day from my lovely boyfriend
A brocade is such a funny idea, I love it!!
thanks!
That camera bag definitely looks like a handbag! What a bunch of fun presents! I love the broquet you made for him. So creative. Bet he loved it too!
I love that it looks like a regular bag- some camera bags I see are so bulky! Thank you Amy!
