I made this book as a Valentines present for Jared. There is a lot of detail and
meaning throughout and it took me weeks of working to finish it.
On the cover there is a key and a tag that reads "All doors can be opened if
you have the right key." This theme is continued throughout the piece, which
has lots of hard to find (almost secret) pockets and openings with treasures inside.
Each set of pages emphasizes a special part of our relationship or something I
love about Jared. Our flower is the Iris, our first date was a trip to the beach,
and I think of him as my knight in shining armor. When I look through the book,
I can see so much of us in it.
A piece such as this would make an amazing wedding or anniversary gift.
