Today is a very special day! It's the day to celebrate my absolute True Love and my Best Friend---my Husband! I used to be the "stand-at-Hallmark-forever" type of person, reading through every single long poem/sentiment on each and every husband card to find the "perfect one" and then, as years progressed, I thought, "Why am I doing this!? I can do a better job of writing my feelings than Hallmark!" So I stopped. And I started writing down my own words on my own cards. And I think my husband appreciates it even more.
DISCLAIMER: This is not to say that Hallmark (or any other greeting card company) doesn't do a great job of helping others express their thoughts and feelings! They absolutely do! But I have always been a hopeless romantic, so, I'm just going to spend the rest of my life embracing that.
OK---two babies later and this Mama doesn't have time to write a long-winded love note and create a gorgeous multi-layer, pop-up, spring-loaded card like she used to. So, I went with something super simple and I still have time left over for my extensive sonnet that will rival even the Great Elizabeth Barrett Browning!
Love. To me, it's a noun, a verb, and an adjective. And that one simple word is everything I have for this man. So...I think it's perfect. It's also heat-embossed in gold, for a romantic feel, without being too feminine. Add a little coordinating gold thread and it's finished. Pretty easy, peasy!
I'm excited to spend today celebrating his special day! Hope you all enjoy your Saturday!
