For those of you out there that are married, do you find that it gets harder each year to find something unique and special for your spouse on their birthday? 

I sure do.  We have been together for almost ten years now, and it gets harder each year to figure out what to get her.  This year, I decided that I would do something different and “make” her something - custom T shirts.

She is a big fan of scrapbooking and I thought that she would appreciate it if I went to one of those “make your own T shirt” sites and made her a shirt.  There were quite a few sites to choose from, but I picked one that was based in my own country and started working on it.

I thought it would be easy to design your own T shirt - but for me it was tough.  I am not too creative, and the fact that it had to be something that she would wear made it that much harder.  But after an hour or so, I did finally make one that I think she will like. 

It will be here before her birthday, and it will be interesting to see her reaction - I hope she loves it.
