We've Got Your Number at Paper Issues

Time for a new challenge at Paper Issues!  Anything to do with numbers.  I have a lot of old bingo cards (lots of numbers, right?) and decided one would be perfect for this challenge.  I hadn't really planned on a Valentine card so soon after Christmas, however! 
I picked up this cutie valentine at one of my local antique stores and he was sitting there looking like he just NEEDED to be a part of this card! 

We had my mom and dad's 50th wedding anniversary party last night.   It was just wonderful!  So many of our best friends and family to help us celebrate my parents' 50 years.  Lots of good memories and so heartwarming.    We made a cake just for them similar to their actual cake with their wedding cake topper that my mom has kept.   We made a huge cake to cut for the party. 

This pictures makes me smile.  They're both trying hard not to laugh!  My parents had a great time last night and I'm so glad everything was so nice.   My parents have set a terrific example for my husband and I and my daughter and her husband to follow.  My daughter said, "Just 47 years to go!"  Dennis and I will be celebrating our 30 this year.  Where does the time go? 

Be sure to go by Paper Issues and check out all the inspiration:  We've Got Your Number! 
And have a Happy New Year!

  10. Thanks for including me in that very special occassion!! It has been such an honor getting to know your sweet parents. Your dad said the cutest thing when I congratulated them on 50 years or marriage. He said "It was easy". That was about the sweetest thing I've ever heard anyone say....
