beautiful things make me happy

it's true. they do. there is nothing in the world that i love more, than looking at something beautiful & saying "i wish that were mine." So one of the gifts I made for valentine's day for john, focuses on the beauty of simplicity. i was inspired by a link posted by a fellow tweeter to make this...with my own special twist. to some it may seem corny, but i'm all about corny...bring on the corn.

it's a book called "52 Reasons Why...i love you" the crazy thing is, one night last week, i couldn't sleep, was still up at 5 am, and decided to clean our upstairs landing because...well, i knew it would make john happy & lets be honest here, almost all of the crap was mine. haha. while cleaning, i happened to find a deck of cards & almost threw them out, but something in my mind said, "hey, save these!" When i found this blog post at 1 am, my mind started racing & i was so happy i  had kept those cards! it's not 100% finished, I have to decorate the box its going in & finish his card. here are some pictures:

the socks thing has always been a running joke- he HATES when i wear his socks, but washing socks...is just one of my least favorite things to do, and he has SO MANY pairs! haha! hope you enjoyed!
