Ben's Card

For those of you that have viewed my previous postings today, the answer is YES - I am on a Mustache Marathon Card-Making Quest.  It is just one of those day where I am so enjoying masculine mustache cards.  Also, I never can have enough of these types of cards that cater to the male population.

This card will be given to my son, Benjamin[on Father's Day]. He is a fine Christian man, a spiritual leader in the home, and he works with the youth at our church. Ben is the father of 3 natural born children, Taylor, Walker and Carson and the step-dad to Halie and Sydney. His wife Michelle is a blessed addition to our family. Thanks Ben for growing into a man of honor. I love you deeply - always have and always will. Today's page is dedicate to you ~ Benjamin Bligh~

Thank you bloggers for stopping by my blog today - take time to hug someone today- life is so very short. Have a happy week!

DT: If for some reason, I missed the mark on a requirement, I would appreciate a private email message at utb01@att.net so I can make my correction. It is my intent to following the expectations for uploading to a blog challenge, but being human I make mistakes. I will return a prompt courtesy reply. Thank you.

  1. You are doing the mustache proud. Like the monochromatic colors of black & white. Thank you for entering the Pause Dream Enjoy Friendship challenge. Hubby had facial hair when I married him but shaved it off some time later. Left off the PDE DT part in previous comment so you can delete that one & post this one.

  19. Hi Gail:
    Hope you're having a relaxing weekend. I'm enjoying my peace and quiet today for sure (and didn't do ANY crafting believe it or not). I saw your comment on my card today and am sad that JoAnn's is clearancing BG cuz like you said, they won't carry it any more. Although, I shouldn't be too worried, I have so much older BG that I haven't used yet. JoAnn's always has great sales.
    Thanks for sharing this card in our challenge this week. It's always a blessing to have you share with us.
