Do an I love you heart ornament with the date. You get to hang it on the tree every Christmas and it will have that memory attached every Christmas!

Sure did.  Nothing really spoke to me.  Plus it's not for me it's for my Pastor and his wife

I did this for my daughter's anniversary and she loved it. The pattern was from Steve's website and I just had to modify the number on it.

I do like that.  How did you modify the number?

I used CorelDraw and jusr erased the old number and found a similar font to put in the new number, stretched it to fit then used the weld tool to complete the job. All this was able to be done only thanks to Steve putting in the time to make video tutorials on how to make plans in CorelDraw - thanks Steve, you saved me yet again.

Red, for modification of the pattern I can recommend to use OpenOffice Draw. It's simple to use and free.
 
- Make a screenshot of the pattern at highest possible size.
- place the pattern in OpenOffice Draw.
- blend out the number with a white area (you can draw custom shapes and resize them afterwards).
- put 2 single digits above that area. 2 single digits are easier to position them as you want them.

....
- present the outcome here as we like to see how patterns develop.

Not a big deal. Tell us if you need some more help.
