22 Years

Mister Handmade in Israel and I recently celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. Of course I made him a card. This is what I made for him last year and this was the card that marked our 20th anniversary. This year's card had a big number 22 embellished with some flowers and a heart on it. The word anniversary surrounds the circular design. I cut the card out of white stock and added a green paper inlay because green is the traditional colour for the 22nd anniversary.
This year, due to the coronavirus, there was no special anniversary breakfast or dinner. Instead we took a short walk up the new kilometre-long pedestrianised part of our new city centre and picked up some takeaway pasta from a place that has recently opened. A romantic candlelight dinner it wasn't, but it was tasty all the same!

Congrats on your Anniversary! You are still in the Honeymoon phase for old (very old) married folk like us! Take out food is the way we celebrate also these days. I don’t miss eating out as much as I thought I would.

Happy Anniversary! I love the card - particularly the green backdrop. I didn't realise that anniversaries had associated colours. I'm glad you enjoyed your celebration meal. xx

A very nice card for your 20th, and you celebrated despite COVID. We celebrated our 60th on June 11 and likewise had virtual visits with the grandchildren via Facebook or some program set up by one of our daughters with multiple boxes on the same screen. It was great fun!
