Sunday was the 45th anniversary of Steve's ordination. I started planning a month ago to surprise him with a reception and chocolate cake for the coffee hours at church. This card was provided (with an additional page to insert) for everyone to sign.
I used the new "A" stamp Rejoice (the cross and the inside sentiment) and heat embossed the cross with Cocoa embossing powders. The chalice and the sentiment on the front of the card are Waltzingmouse Stamps (Celtic). The numbers 45 are from one of the CTMH alphabet sets.
I thought I had surprised him - but when I got home from church I found in my mailbox that he had forwarded an invoice from the cake baker at about 9:30 the night before. Oops! At least he played along nicely during the coffee hours! *giggle*
Hugs!!
