In my December R&R post, I made mention of a gift for Mrs B that took some time to create. It was small book, about 20 pages or less where I told a fable’ized version of our initial meeting and what came after. I commissioned some art work for it and with some help used Snapfish to put it all together.
With it being so many pages, I have decided to post a page or four each Saturday until I’ve put it all up. I won’t be able to use the gothic font or marble’ized background, and I’ll be changing the names, but other than that….. hahahaaa. I even tried to see if I could go back into Snapfish and download it as a series of images, but no cigar. Since I ordered it, they won’t let me edit it or work on it.
I thought about taking pictures of it all, but since it has our real names and real names of some of our friends, well, that’s just not an option either. Sometimes it is tough to be paranoid 😉 I am hoping to have this all posted by the end of February.
Cheers!

It’s definitely for photo people. I’m not much into that scene, so I was glad an acquaintance suggested it for this project 🙂

That was a very thoughtful, very… dare I say ‘romantic’? gift. I knew that behind that… ahem… bookstoog-ish exterior there was a sentimental soul! 😉
(and don’t worry, your secret is safe with us!)

That’s such an awesome, sweet and meaningful gift! Can’t wait to see pics but I understand privacy concerns. Maybe do the blackout text thing like they do for classified documents lol.

I was talking with Mrs B this weekend and we’re going to take pictures of it and then either redact or insert pseudonyms. It will be a little bit of work, but not much.

Looking forward to the public unveiling of this present…the origin story of Mr. and Mrs. B.

I am hoping it all comes together on the blog. Putting it together wasn’t as hard as I thought, but putting it on the blog is something different.

That sounds absolutely awesome, and very much romantic. What was her reaction like? Did she read it all as you watched her do so? 😀

She enjoyed it. Life’s been pretty tough since then so I’m not sure I can accurately judge its reception in the long term.
