Hello, and I'm so glad you could drop in :)
Ken and I have been married for almost 42 years.........and NO, that doesn't make us old ..........we married the day after my 18th birthday....I know, I know........and Ken had turned 20 that same week......but we were in luuuuurve.....so what can I say?
Anyway, to get to the point........we still are in luuuuurve, but don't really do the Valentine's thing....sometimes I might receive a small bunch of flowers, and yes, he is the sort of man who buys them from the petrol station......but it's never been a big deal if we just ignore it.
BUT....that was before I really got into cardmaking! So, I'm going to surprise him with a card (don't worry....it's not too luvvy-dovey :).....and will buy him a BIG bag of Midget Gems, his favourite sweets.....see, told you it's never a big deal......and don't think that I've let the cat out of the bag by telling you, here, because he NEVER reads it!
So, here's what I came up with.....I'm thinkin' it will make him smile, putting him in a good mood, because I chose this particular image with a purpose in mind......
Here's the ickle man......all tooled up......
Did you notice the title on his hard-hat........
and Ken knows I love him dearly........sooooooooooo............
I'm hoping this ickle fella, and the Midget Gems, will help me to persuade Ken to.......
PUT UP THE FLIPPIN' SHELVES HE'S BEEN PROMISING SINCE LAST VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!
Sorry.....was I shouting?
Think he'll get the message?
Here's some challenges:
Hearts
Just Add Love
Valentine
Use the word LOVE
Valentine's
Something for your Valentine
Anything Goes
Clean & Simple
Hugs,
