I can’t remember the last time I’ve printed photos or given a photo gift, and it’s something I used to do all the time. It was our anniversary over the weekend and we also are looking for a new apartment so it seemed some meaningful little gifts were in order. I put together this wood calendar through Artifact Uprising and was so so happy with the results, twelve sturdy matte squares to make our recent trip up the California coast evolve from four days to one year.
A turquoise coastline in Big Sur, rocky shores of Monterey, Painted Ladies in San Francisco…
I wrapped it right in the kraft paper the box came with. No surprise that I finally decided on what photos to print less than a week before I needed this gift, so I couldn’t blame AU if my photos were late. Luckily, they arrive early and we got to review our photos over an anniversary latte.
I guess I had forgotten how nice it is to hold memories in a hand. There are also 25 packs of photo prints, so I ordered one full of little adventures over the last year or so, but those will be saved for new walls.
