Crafty

So I'm told that I'm a wee bit crafty.  So I thought I would share something I made recently.  I apologize in advance for the picture quality.  DH told me that in the future he will be my photographer. 

My cousin is getting married and recently I attended a bridal shower for his fiance.  I made her a crochet keepsake cake embelished with beads in the wedding colors - purple, teal and orange. 

The card attached said the following:
"There are 3 pennies inside this cake.  Two are dated 1988 for the years that you and Kurt were born and one penny is dated 2009, the year that "...two shall become one..." (Mark 10:8).  The pennies are inside of the cake to represent your faith in God and your marriage, both of which are not always visiable.  I love you both very much and know you will be very happy together.  Love, Sarah"
The bride read the note out loud at the shower, which prompted and "Ahhh" by everyone in the room.  I was throughly embarrased. 
On another note, I had someone tell me today that they cared what I had to say.  Thank you, Kerri!
