Hubby buys me flowers and gifts. I know he is taking me out for a nice dinner. However, when it comes to cards, he often makes his own...with colored markers, pens and paper. He has been doing this since we were poor as dirt in graduate school. It was a time he brought me a dandelion
"bouquet" from the roadside. Let it be known, I still cherish the thought of that bouquet more then the insanely expensive "exotic lilies" he sent me years later or the huge rose bouquets he can send now. Those dandelions were a real show of love. That is why I LOVE the hand made cards he still "sends me". They have words telling of his love (he should work for hallmark) and he spends weeks,sometimes, working on the "art". Make no mistake, he is NOT an artist (by any stretch), but in my eyes...those cards were, and still are, the MOST beautiful and special, I have seen.
Anyone else hand make something for their loved one?
