Let Me Call You Sweetheart

It's the 15th of February... time for the newest Dueling Darling post. I love Love LOVE the Dueling Darlings! We are two teams of online friends. Each team has a hostess for the month and the two hostesses decide on a theme together, but then get secretive and put together kits for their team members based on that theme. It's a BIG secret until the 15th of the month. No one knows what the other team has to work with. It's such fun!

This month our hostesses are Deb and Carol...... and they chose the theme "Let Me Call You Sweetheart". I'm a Dazzler, so I got to ork with Deb's incredible kit, overflowing with awesome products. (THANK YOU, Deb!!!) I couldn't use them all........ but that's okay because we have something special planned to do with the unused items later in the year. You'll want to keep an eye open for that.

For now, here's my card:

The hostesses also challenged us this month to share someting about a special "sweetie" in our life. I've decided to share with you someting very special about my "sweetie". My husband has always loved poetry - both reading it and writing it. This year for Valentine's Day, he wrote me the following poem.

Our Twenty-Nine

by C. Brent Cloyd

You have been my darling for twenty-nine

Traveling state to state, place to place

My partner, my lover, my valentine.

We've had and held on in good times or bad

We're not rich, nor poor, but our house is full

You have been my darling for twenty-nine.

You brought forth three children into our home

Two have moved away, one remains with us

My partner, my lover, my valentine.

Daring to believe we pursued the wind

We chased dreams, some saw light and some faded

You have been my darling for twenty-nine.

Faith, hope, love, and adventure paved our path

The call to service has been our highway

My partner, my lover, my valentine.

We have known joy and we have known sorrow

But our journey has brought satisfaction

You have been my darling for twenty-nine

My parnter, my lover, my valentine.

Isn't he sweet???
