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.

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 :)

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