Sweet Stationery

Kinko's is one of several places that now sell stationery by the sheet (and envelope) instead of the box. There were about 12 designs that were appropriately "romantic" for my plan. There were designs with roses, flower gardens, jungles, teapots, luscious grapes, sunsets, and other scenes.

I bought one sheet of each design I liked - twelve in all. The entire purchase cost me about $1.00, rather cheap in my book. I put the stationery up with the rest of my romantic arsenal that I have assembled for surprise romantic "attacks".

A few days ago I took them out. My wife had to travel out of town on a business meeting and luncheon (which means we didn't get to eat lunch together - sniff). I knew it would be a long day for her so I wanted to welcome her home in a nice way.

I used my handy dandy little computer to compose a different short saying in a unique font for each piece of stationery. For example, on the one with roses on it, I wrote "God did create a rose without thorns - you." I took the pages and placed them in a trail from the front door and into my office where I would be working.

When she arrived home she ran up the stairs and gave me a big hug and wet kiss. I guess she liked it.
