Shadow box ideas for an anniversary present?

My boyfriend %26amp; mine%26#039;s six month anniversary is next month, %26amp; i wanna do something special.. nothing too exstravagant, just a little cute something, so i decided to make him a shadow box. but, i%26#039;m not really sure what to put in it.. i have a ticket stub and some photos but we have a long distance relationship so i don%26#039;t have many other momentos to work with. any ideas would be greatly appreciated! thanks! =]|||(ok, I%26#039;m annoyed... my whole answer just got chewed up... will try again)





You could find, buy or make all kinds of things that are just associated with the two of you, or each of you.... anything small enough to stand, hang or glue in your shadow box.





Some possibilities would be:


puzzle-pieces or cutouts of the 2 states or cities you%26#039;re in, or other representations of the places


a tiny phone, computer, or letter --however you most often communicate


hobbies or interests


favorite movies, books, events you like, or that you both did


any gifts you%26#039;ve given each other


important dates marked on a tiny calendar


things associated with any plans you might have in the future


type of clothing or individual item you wear a lot


jobs/schools





I work with polymer clay and any of those things could be made from it. Or you could use an air-dry clay or just paper, craft balsa wood, or various materials and items from around the house. Or you could use drawings or scans or magazine images, etc. If using scans or even photocopies, you can shrink them down to a size that will fit on one of the walls, or stand the images up by attaching something stiff behind them(cured/dried clay, toothpick, cardstock, wood cube or even bead), etc.... or make a little base for it to stick into, etc.
