Today's my anniversary.....

It's been seven wonderful years; every day a new adventure.  Always marry a man who makes you laugh, the journey is so much better with laughter.  We've been together eighteen years, more or less and it seems like just yesterday.  There are so many roads we've traveled down, sights that we've seen, places we've been - and every one was better because we were together.  I was not well traveled when we met and now I've seen the redwood forest, Peggy's Cove, Gettysburg, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier National Park, Jasper, Everglades National Park, Port Angeles, Victoria, Badlands National Park, Volcano National Park and dozens of other beautiful places.  Every road trip is filled with new wonders and we get as excited about the next trip as we did the first one. 

This is the anniversary card I made for him.  Since he's been retired he has a habit of popping into my craft room dozens of times a day.  Hiding this card made the construction take much longer and I'm afraid I rushed the coloring a little in my haste.  The crochet is something I'm trying on new cards.  This is actually the Eyelet Circle by Spellbinders which lends itself perfectly to crochet.  The card is 5.75" by 5.75" and the stamp by Penny Black is perfect for the two of us.
