AW: He said yes!

musikbx · February 2011

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't been around much lately.

So, I asked my boyfriend to marry me. While he was in the shower this afternoon, I whipped up a latte and used this technique to make a coffee stencil that said "marry me?" He loved the surprise!

He said to me "too bad I don't have a ring for you to wear! You should have an old one lying around somewhere, right? You can just wear that." He went into the office (where I keep my jewelry) and came out with an engagement ring box. I burst into tears ;-)

Anyways, here are some pictures:

That's awesome! Congratulations! Apparently he was thinking the same thing. lol

I cut the letters into a plastic butter lid. I put it over the cup and sprinkled cocoa powder over it!

Here is an online tutorial if you'd like to try making your own stencils:

It's a sapphire, but it looks almost purple to me! I'm sure it will look different in different lights.
