it's here!

My valentine book arrived today! Even though I had seen it online, it was so exciting to flip through it in person -- and, of course, show it off. Here's a sampling of the pages:

front cover

(I love this self-portrait of us that I took while on a bateau mouche in Paris)




I'm pretty sure this is the best valentine I have ever received!

{and I have to say, it's making me want to make some blurb books of my own...}

I think this is such an amazingly personal Valentine. Marc really outdid himself with this one.

I think you should follow the urge to create Blurb books, I'm sure anything you'd make would be fantastic.

I wonder how many husbands across America/Canada are hating Marc right now for showing them up BIG TIME this Valentine's Day.
That is a beautiful gift, and only deep feelings could be beind it. You are lucky to have that kind of love.

My old eyes had a hard time seeing the whole thing, but I'm so wow-ed by the thought and personal effort of this.

There are few men who would know how wonderful this gift really is.

I can't wait to see it in person!
