Hi Everyone. Happy Monday.
Tomorrow is August 7. Tomorrow is my darling hubby's birthday. Lou is currently on his way back from Texas. He left home at 5.30 am on Saturday morning and will be getting on a plane to come home just about now. Since he left home on Saturday morning, he has had 3 hours sleep! He worked straight through the weekend and I know he is going to be really tired tomorrow. So, tonight's post is for Lou.
Even though Lou has travelled so much this year, he has done his best to do as many jobs around the house as he could since we moved into our new home. That included painting the porch at 1.30 am on July 4th. yep… it was the only time he could do it. He soldiered through the heat, the dark and the humungous mosquitoes, just cos I wanted the porch painted! He repainted the study, he painted a wall in the master bedroom and he painted walls in the basement family room… just because I thought they would look better! He really is pretty amazing. On top of that, he is the only man I know who would hold my Louis Vuitton handbag outside a restaurant because I wanted to run around taking pictures.
Don't you think it suits him? 🙂
Lou…. thank you for everything you do for me. Happy, happy, birthday!
About the card….. As we both love cruising, I thought the nautical themed card was the right idea. I paired it with some Wonderfully Worn DSP and my new favorite color – Midnight Muse. I made the tag out of Very Vanilla card stock, but it was a little too bright, so I used the Tea Stain distress ink from the distressing kit to tone it down. The new Early Espresso ribbon was the perfect thing to finish off the tag. (I used a non-SU button) and some linen twine to secure the ribbon. I really do love this set and I hope Lou likes his card.
As Lou and I are going out to dinner tomorrow night, I will not be posting tomorrow. But I will be back on Wednesday.
As always, thank you for spending time in my little area of the stamping blogosphere. I really do appreciate your visits and your comments.
Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Have a wonderful Tuesday……. Lou… have a wonderful birthday and I hope this year brings you all that you wish for yourself.
Hugs
Jaydee

Lou!! Happy birthday, Lou! How wonderful you will be home with your sweetheart to celebrate–even if it is on very little sleep (GAH! I don’t know how you are even functioning. Maybe your birthday gift will be sleep?).
You are a prince among men. I don’t know how many of them would rescue reptiles in the middle of the road, carry their wife’s handbag, or paint a porch at 1:30 in the morning with only the giant mosquitoes for company. Eek! You are a gem! :o)
Jaydee, the card is perfect. I do so love using that stamp set for masculine cards. Midnight Muse…I have a stack of it awaiting me the moment I’m feeling up to sitting at my desk again. ;o)
Hugs to you both!! :o)
