Roller Coaster of Love

Look, isn't that little couple so sweet?  Their picture is in all six of these glass coasters, a house warming gift 3 years ago.  And it's been 3 years that my intention was to change these pictures, b/c this sweet little couple does not belong to me, although every one using the coasters asks who they are! 

Tsk, seriously, so sweet. I like to believe they are a real couple, of course, and they are someone's nonni and poppi, and that they are Italian. They're standing in front of a bakery, people, and they just made fresh cannolis.  You with me?  Mmm...cannolis.

And as much as we love nonni and poppi, or, you know, members of our own, real, actually existing and not made up family, we may not want to place our cold beer or bottle of water on their faces. 

Enter random bits of leftover scrapbook paper that match the room.

I merely used nonni and poppi for guidance, and inserted them in the slot in the back.  Easy peasy, and also free-sy. 

Ta da!  I made 2 of each kind.  Now when people use the coasters i don't have to explain my fictitious family, and they can pay attention to the actual photos around the house, not the cropped version beneath their beverage.
