If ya can't beat em', join em'

Sometimes men can be ingenious! I guess I have been spending too much time in the Skrap Shack lately on my days off. Last night I was out there working on a military card swap that is due to be done by June 9th. Me, being the procrastinator, was trying to get ahead of the game for once. Bob comes out there and offers to help me finish them. This puts one in a slight bind because your husband has just offered to help you make cards (how many husbands do that!) but, yet...your hesitant to trust if he will do things right...this IS your reputation on the line!
I take a deep breath and decide to accept his help. (OK, so I didn't take a deep breath....instead I decided to HOLD my breath while I gave him instructions on what to do.)
Low and behold....he did a pretty darn good job! He stamped and adhesed (I don't think there is such a word, but It's my blog and I can make up any words I want to, besides, it's a much catchier word than glued.) and packaged.
After we were done, I asked him why in the world he offered to help me make cards. He said he figured it was the only way he was going to get to spend time with me for the evening.
If ya can't beat em' then join em'!
Of course I took a few pics of him at work and the finished product.
