Tears; Valentine's Card; "Young Love" & My Son

Before I post a Valentine's Day card that I made, I would like to urge everyone that should read my blog to say a little prayer for those that their lives were cut short last night in the passenger plane crash near Buffalo, NY. As I hear the stories of some of those that were on board of that flight, my heart breaks. Remember to also pray for their families, that they may be blessed with strength to get through this sad time...

***Okay now this card... I had promised my son that I'd make him a Valentine's Day card for his girlfriend... store bought cards have become SO expensive that Daniel wanted to have that money that we would have spent on a card for an extra treat to go with the Valentine's Day gift for her. Keep in mind that this card is for a 14 yr old girl so I wanted to make it cute but still full of "teenage first love" meaning! For the past couple of weeks, she has been giving Daniel a kiss on his cheek, well the other day, Daniel turned his head a bit by mistake and by what I understand of a teenage boy's gibber about it is that it was really close to his lips. He has been eagerly awaiting his 1st kiss for awhile now so yesterday evening, I noticed that he was acting all "goofy" and he kept saying that he couldn't wait for today. It seems that his girlfriend stated that since today is their official Valentine's Day since it actually falls on a Saturday and they won't see each other, that she plans on giving him a REAL kiss on the lips! LOL! Although it kills me to witness my little baby boy to be beaming about something like this.... my heart is glad for him because he is growing up....... he wasn't supposed to grow up this quickly though! Anyways, the card (in light of today's event) started out being based on a Scenic Route sticker that says "Shut up and kiss me". I also added a rubon by 7Gypsies that reads "Love doesn't make the world go round but it sure makes the ride worth while".....
