Happy Birthday, Hubby!

Today is my dear hubby's Birthday!  I won't share Darren's age with you all because, of course, I'd only be implicating myself by doing so (since I'm about ten months older than he).  We are having his favorite Chinese take-out for lunch, and we're taking him to Coldstone for icecream tonight after church (but he doesn't know that part yet!!).

 I made this card last night based on the sketch for this month's challenge at The Craft's Meow Stamps Challenge Blog.  I LOVE their stamps, and have a long "wish list" there, but don't own any of their stamps yet to use on my project, so the Happy Birthday sentiment stamp is from the very awesome Verve Stamps.

 

Here are the challenges where I'd like to share this little card:

 

The Craft's Meow Stamps Challenge Blog - February Sketch Challenge (Darling Sketch, Darling Stamps!!)

 

The Shabby Tea Room Challenges - Week #152 - Happy Birthday in Pink & Blue

 

The Catered Crop Challenge Blog - Polka Dot Recipe Swap Quick Fire - I've had so much fun with this challenge, and have left a comment on every single entrants' blog.  (Where's MY love, people??)   LOL

My heart and thoughts go to my friend, Joann, today.  Since she unexpectedly  lost her hubby this last week of a heart attack just after they had moved into their new home (what should have been a wonderful time in their lives), it makes me realize how very grateful I need to be for my dear hubby.  It also reminds me that we need to take care of our husbands; encouraging activity, good health, wise food choices, etc.  We all need to become more aware of what we eat, and our physical activity because it could happen to any of us.  Count your blessings today, hug your hubby or child, pray for JoAnn and others who have lost someone, and have a blessed day!

Thanks for visiting,
Karen
