Remember how I told you Mumbles and I had been married for exactly 1,000 days? Well, look what dear, sweet husband had custom made to celebrate the occasion…

Our friend Paul is an incredible artist who makes custom paintings. One of the first pieces I saw of his was an amazing custom surfboard he painted an engagement photo on. It was the talk of the wedding and I never forgot it. You can see some of his fantastic work and the process he uses on some of them via Instagram @paulortegadesigns and stay tuned for more in his Etsy shop. If you’re looking for a meaningful gift, definitely give Paul a jingle. I’m afraid I’m going to need a bigger house to fit all of the custom artwork I’d like to have him make for us. Some day!

How did you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Did you give or receive any special gifts?
