Open your heart
and take us in,
Love – love and me.

Mr. Catered Crop and I have been married for 30 years. I know, crazy, right? He leaves his socks all around the house. He loses his keys. He snores . . .
So why in Heaven's name would I make him a Valentine's card that says he's amazing in every way?
Well, because I forget to turn out the lights. I never take out the trash. And I lose my phone charger.
He forgives me all my little quirks and he's my constant and reliable friend. He lets me know I could never disappoint him and he will always love me.
He's amazing in every way that matters!
So . . . I made Mr. Catered Crop some more goodies.
From some cheapy Ikea spice jars like these (yes, he appreciates frugal):
I made this little jar to hold some Twizzler bites.
My daughter loves to give me crafty things which is really a throw-down challenge to make something. Since she's so insanely creative, it's quite a serious challenge. This Christmas she gave me a bag of colorful pompoms from Anthropologie. Turned out kind of cute, don't you think? Bam!
Oh, and, you know he's "Just my Type," so, for giggles and grins, I photographed my goodies for my Tom with a toy typewriter I found at a flea market find recently. (Love them flea market finds!) This was just like the one my Grandma Black kept at her house for us.
You're welcome Catered Crop. Sorry I ate the lollipops.
It's day four of the My Favorite Things (MFT) Teasers for the latest release. I'm helping MFT reveal the new Lollipop Additions – Love set that coordinates with the Lollipop Treat Die-namics.
Now, I love a good lollipop. (You notice, there aren't any lollipops in my pictures. I ate them all!) But, as you can see from my card and Twizzler jar, you can use this set for other things besides just lollipops.
I used two other new Die-namics. You can never have too many hearts, right?
And, this incredibly juicy black ink is new this month.
Here are the other goodies available in the My Favorite Things Boutique today.

I LOVE those pom poms! And I love the way you used the Lollipop Additions on those cute jars (I have some of those cute jars!). What a great idea! Wonderful job! And, of course, the card was great, too!
This is so sweet!! What a lucky man! Love the pom poms!! I just love all your creations and the colors!! Lovely!
Linda you crack me up in every way! Your interpretations of these products are killer bee! (for some reason I’m saying that a lot these days – I’m pretty sure it meant “really cool” when it was popular)
I often refer to my husband as a saint and when people balk, I say, “Oh, he still farts and belches and puts his pants on one leg at a time, but he puts up with me,” and those who know me best nod sagely and say, “Ah, yes, a saint.”
WOW how cute, love the pompoms! Gorgeous card too! lucky Mr.Tom
Thank you for sharing the gift items. Wish you a very happy new year and a wonderful life ahead! Best of luck! the presents are really wonderful and how much do they cost? and “be mine” is really a wonderful tag word!
Gorgeous creations! I really love the card.
Absolutely fantastic!! Love your colour scheme!!

All of your projects are gorgeous. I love the little jars the most.
SO SO SO stinkin’ sweet Linda!
Such fun projects, I love the projects you have created with this release
What fun ideas you have.
You are forgiven for eating all of the lollipops. It’s easy to understand how that could happen
Besides, you made such amazing projects, who needs lollipops?
