Last week my husband testified before the New York State Senate.  Exciting to be an expert and get asked to testify, don't you think?  I knew he had to leave early, before I'd be up, so I left a little something taped to the bathroom mirror.

It took me less than five minutes and put a grin on his face.

Why not?

It's a little something to show I care.  And I didn't spend so much time making it that I care whether or not it ends up in the trash.  It's a token of my affection.

A little bit of handmade art makes everyone smile. 

So think about it the next time you're reaching for a post-it.  Why not leave this instead:

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I started a Facebook fan page right here.

And I started a Twitter feed here, if you'd like to follow along!

  • To you a little 5-minute item of love…to me I would treasure it and put it in my memory box. LOL
    Maybe if I keep my supplies out and about I will do this. Of course I will be setting up my craft space to do the art journal every day in January with you and all.
    How fun for you hubby to go before the NH Senate!
