A Wedding Gift Made With Love

I’m a great gift giver with my family, but when it comes to wedding gifts I usually just get something off the registry...and I always wish I had done better!

So I decided to finally take some extra time and handcraft something for my good friend who is getting married tomorrow. He survived a bout of cancer at age 30 and his outlook on life has always been inspiring to me.

So I decided to gift him one of my Live Love Life Now paper art pieces. But to make it more unique and special to the couple, I used maps of their hometowns. I love how it came out and I hope that they love it too!

What’s the most unique wedding gift you’ve ever given?

Byrd & Belle – Laptop Cases Handmade With Love

I’ve had my eye on the beautiful handmade felt and leather laptop cases over at Byrd & Belle for a few years now. But since I almost never traveled with my laptop, they always stayed on my wish list.

But now with so much work to do for Live Love Life Now™, I’ve found myself taking my laptop with me more often…which gave me the perfect opportunity to splurge on myself!

So a couple weeks ago, I went to the Byrd & Belle website and finally ordered my very own “Gray Wool Felt and Brown Leather” MacBook sleeve! After a short wait, it was finally in my hands and I couldn’t be happier!

It is beautifully crafted by Angie Davis and is just as gorgeous as I had anticipated. I think all accessories offer the opportunity to show off a bit of your style and I think this one is a perfect fit!

I love having something unique and the fact that I was also able to support another small business made it a definite win-win!
