I Prefer a Blank Check Please, no Pearls

Don't re-read that title. There is no mistake, no miss-print.

What you are reading is the real. Deal.

Like this Cross-Stitch Masterwork done by a group of people. It's called "The Battle of Grunwald".

It's the real deal.
I am an honest to goodness craft person to my very soul. I often tell my friends, I don't want my man to buy me diamonds, ruby necklaces, or other expensive items. What I want him to do is, instead of spending all that money on jewelry that I already have, I want him to give me a gift card to Micheal's Craft Store. Better yet!! I want us to walk into my favorite craft store, have him turn to me and say, "Here babe, this is for you," then he hands me a BLANK CHECK, salutes me, and disappears in the store to his favorite section.

Say whaaaaat--?

Do you realize how happy I will be? Do you understand that the crafter that I am, will probably duce out for a solid 2 hours (at least), roaming the store and pilling up a store cart or two, carts that I normally don't use because I only buy what my wallet and hand can handle???

Two store carts. TWO!!

And then at check out, I'll be so happy, so content, that when I enter the amount I won't even flinch. I won't even bat an eyelash. I'll whip out my sparkling purple pen like Indiana Jones, and sign my name like the President of the United States of America!

Then my man will casually roll on up in his car, hop out, pop the trunk and pack everything in the back. And finally, finally, we ride off into the sunset both happy. I'm pretty sure there will be some epic LOTR music playing too, just for added affect.

I can dig that. I realize my passions can be expensive, and a few bloggers have commented on how their other half either helps them in some way, shape and form, or they kind of flinch at the exccesive hoarding. My man will understand my passion and love for art, and will realize that it will all come back to him. Be it in a piece I make just for him, or I serve the man some breakfast in bed as a special thank you. Heck, I'll even frame a piece and give it to his special family member. It will come in full circle, because he made me happy by helping me with my art, and I made him happy creating something for him.

It's the real deal.

Toodles!
