Today my husband turns thirty-six.  I have had the pleasure of knowing him for sixteen of those years.  Here are a few of the layouts I've done about him in that time:

  • Thanks for the reminder to scrap my own DH. Loved John’s circus LO. That was indeed a surprise to see that element of his life. You have depicted so well the polished lawyer in recent LOs that I would never have guessed a circus past. Happy Birthday to your obviously very special guy.

  • HB to your ‘first and only love’! Nearly brought me to tears. This is inspiring me to do something for my hubby as we are complete opposites. He has his life and I have mine, yet we are in love and that 50th anniv is not as far away as I’d like! LOL.
    Thanks for the beauty of images and sentiments and the inspiration! (He’s a lucky guy to have you, too.)
