This is my card for today Limited Supplies challenge. This is my story:
1. I like this card...I wish I knew someone who was retiring so that I could give it to them.
2. I work in the management office for an upscale breakfast and lunch restaurant called The Egg & I. This card would be perfect for someone retiring from our restaurant because of the chickens.
3. When I go to work today...I am gonna talk to my boss and see if he will fire someone, call it an early retirement and then I can give that person this card....Yeah....that's what I'm gonna do!
*EDIT* (Some time later....) Okay, took the card to work, showed my boss, told him my idea. Although he loved he card....he sort of thought my idea wasn't too cool....as a matter of fact the look on his face was sort of like.....*Maybe I will fire you!* YIKES! I made a bee-line for my office...Oh well, now that I think about it, the sentiment doesn't work under that scenario anyway!

LOL Cindy! This is so adorable! My husband wants to retire...26 years w/ USN. So say a prayer that he'll find a job close to home and then maybe you can send it to him. He's a good egg. LOL.

Great layout -- not a really good idea to get someone fired -- maybe YOU could quit and give yourself the card. No, that's probably not a good idea either. Oh, well! I do like the card though.

Super creative...especially the ribbon weaving. Creative idea about your boss firing someone....am doubtful he'll follow through, but hey....it's just an idea, right? Your color choice is fabulous and the CB bkgrnd is perfect....as always.
