Was your Valentine's Day sweet? Mine was. Grandson Colton was here. We played trains. We played in the play house. We napped in my bed which truthfully meant I balanced myself on the edge of our queen sized mattress and wondered how one little person can take up so much room and throw off so much heat.
Everyone bought candy for everyone else. Hershey's, Mars, Whitman's and Russell Stover all made money last week. Pepperidge Farm did too, as Goldfish are one of Colton's favorite snacks. I had a strip of blue cardstock that was the same width as the small Goldfish carton, so I wrapped it around the carton, creasing the edges and taped the top shut. The fish were stamped on solid green and on green plaid papers and given air bubbles of green glitter glue.
It is never to early to teach a love of puns, is it?
Colton's mommy got Cherry M&Ms in a tube with a card that had an opening for the tube, and baggies with the remaining M&Ms and rapsberry Kisses. She got them for being berry sweet and always cherry....er, cheery.
My boys are "da bomb" so they each got 3 Rolos wrapped in red with a gold pipe cleaner fuse.
Hubby's card used a stamp that featured the character Tina, made by AI (Art Impressions). The inside stamped greeting read "Of course I love you...who else would put up with me?"
Now it is time to concentrate on birthdays again. Hubby catches up to me today (for 5 months I hear about being so much older than he is), followed soon by Colton's and his daddy's birthdays. Throw in a few cousins and a sister-in-law and we'll be eating cake until summer arrives!

You have been busy again, Kitty. I envy you your creativity, and Colton is lucky to have such a lovely Grandma! I loved the card you made for your hubby, and especially the words inside! That made me smile. I will have to remember that.
I am truly impressed and going to [of course] steal all your ideas. Too cool Grandmomma. :D
You are so talented. When are you going to adopt meeeee?
Still I had to laugh and definitely throw much love your way for the card for your husband. THAT pretty much sums up Pooldad and me, to a T. ::laughing:: poor man.
