the coolest wedding gift

If you are a blogger, or just have an avid appreciation for prettiness, you are going to love this.

My aunt (you know, the one who did my flowers and basically every other craft imaginable for my wedding) gave me my wedding gift the Thursday before my wedding. She and (and her family) gave us a place setting of china (yay!) and this amazing creation.

This is a book containing all of my Stripes and Polka Dots wedding posts.  She scrapbooked them all into this book, complete with inspiration photos and everything.

My favorite pages are the ones with little pockets!

She even included text and photos from posts that I linked to.  Isn't that awesome?!

I have had so much fun looking through this thing.  We brought it to the rehearsal dinner and everyone pored over it there, too.  It is so neat to look back and see what ideas wound up being exactly what happened and which ones evolved or got scrapped along the way.

And here is the magical part: all of my posts magically fit perfectly in this book.  The pages are stationary, but there were just the right amount.  It was meant to be.
