celebration shadowbox

This week has been full of champagne for me.  On Wednesday my Dad retired and turned 16 (leap year baby), and my employer celebrated their 10th anniversary.  All day long I thought I was being shot at, but luckily it was just the sound of popping bubbly and happiness ;)  Those were corks worth saving.

When my Husband and I decided to marry in Mexico we knew it wouldn't be a legal ceremony, so we got premarried (yep that's a word).  My Sister's MIL married us in her living room a week before we left.  I didn't want it to feel like our wedding so when she said "you may kiss the bride" I held my hand up and told my Husband "let's save that for Mexico". When we got home around 10pm our neighbors showed up in their pj's with a bottle of champagne.  At first I wasn't thrilled because I did not want it to feel like my wedding, but now it's one of my favorite memories.  Of course I saved the cork!

When I saw this shadowbox full of milestone corks I knew I wanted to make one.  I need a few more happy occasions but it's on my to do list!





Do you save special occasion corks?

Sounds like a crazy week! At least you had the champagne though ;) The shadowbox is such a great idea!

I love the shadowbox idea. I was saving wine corks for a few years and now have them in a box in the basement. Hoping to use them for a future DIY project.
Happy Friday!
