    My FI kept telling me I couldn't come in the garage for at least a week because he was making something for me for our wedding.  He builds custom homes so he is very crafty with his hands and also is an artist.  Well today he had to give up the secret because he wasn't sure which design I would like him to make so he had to spoil the secret!

    Look ladies what he made!  He made this shepard hook out of steel rods and made one side an F "Last name starts with an F" and the other side has the hook so we can hang our flower balls on or maybe pumpkin laterns if I can find some.  He is going to make 8 of them, and these will line the sidewalk before you get to the outdoor gazebo where we are getting married!

    Only one of the many reasons I love my man!

    Has your man made you something special for the wedding?

    AWWWW so cute! I don't think I could've trusted my guy to do anything crafty with his hands. He DID help me tie and cut all the pretty packaging for my bajillion favors and he didn't complain. I think that counts =]

    EJS4Y8- That definetly counts!  My man would hate for me to tell all the bees this but he made the flower ball in the picture too, and he is making the card box too. Kiss

    HAHAH I love that he made the flower ball and the shepherd hook is super cute!

    Mr. M is going to make the Arbor that we are going to get married in front of and then we are going to build a garden around it in our backyard after our wedding!

    What a sweet, considerate and very handy husband to be you have. And here I am on a mad search for shepherd hooks, I'm envious. :P

    AW, that is soo darn cute! I love how he crafted it himself and that he made it an F for your new last name. He sounds like a keeper :)

    Ya'll are all so right about having a keeper on my hands, he is the BEST!!!  He tried to hold the secret as long as he could, now I just have to find whatever I am going to hang from the hook.

    SmileWhat a man what a man!  Very crafty groom.  Works like that show the heart imho.  You picked a good one!

    Can't wait to see what all you will do with this cool shepherds' hook!  Love how you have the pomander on it!

    I'll have to show this to T.  His last name begins with an F also!  Let's here it for cool grooms to be whose last name begins with the letter F!!!
