When Matt and I moved back to Wisconsin a few years ago we started writing on wine corks after we'd finish a bottle. We'd get a Sharpie marker and write the date and the occasion for which we were drinking wine. Occasions such as a great meal we were eating, or an anniversary we were celebrating, or the friends we enjoyed the bottle of wine with.
Fast forward a few years and we have an entire large, glass vase filled with these corks!
I feel blessed that we've been able to enjoy this many bottles of wine together, with great meals and great friends & family. But I'm afraid it also may indicate that we've consumed a bit too much wine!
It was really enjoyable to look through these corks today and see what we've written on them. Here are a few of my favorites:

I'm pretty sure this is the first one we wrote on.
Celebrating our new home back in Wisconsin. |
 |
| Celebrating our 3-year wedding anniversary in 2010. |
 |
| A friend visiting from Florida. |
 |
| Friends visiting from Oregon. |
 |
| Enjoying Matt's delicious homemade risotto. |

This is probably too much information, but I think this may have been the night that we conceived Liam.
Thank you Mr. Robert Mondavi!! |
Not much wine was consumed during this time :)

| Our first bottle of champagne after Liam was born. |

| Self explanatory. |
 |
| Enjoying a tenderloin. |
 |
| Some of our favorite wines. I'm glad we saved the corks :) |

Does anyone else keep their wine corks? What interesting things have you done with them? Any arts or crafts projects?
cool idea!
