Happy Valentines Day! You know when I used to work at the bank, I always had little surprises for the girls I worked with on Holidays. I just love doing it and was afraid it wasn't going to be as much fun now that I work with all men.
Well let me tell you that when I presented these to the guys they were so appreciative, thankful, and complimentary....more so than the women I worked with. Who would have thought??? I can see I am still going to have fun now....lol
I used Fred She Said Old Truck image for this. I used the eyelet nestibilities and the nested hearts for this. I just distressed inked in both tea dye and brick red and stickled the edges.

I just think this is a spectacular, masculine project! And, I'm so glad the reaction from those guys was so good. I bet they just loved that old truck. And, goodies never hurt either. Outstanding job, Carol!

You are so kind to your co-workers! What a fabulous gift to share with the guys. I wonder how many of them scarfed down the chocolates before the end of the work day???

OMGoodness Carol - these are FANTASTIC!! How special for your coworkers. I work with all men too - and while I've never made them anything this BEAUTIFUL, I do remember them with Bday cards - and I would agree that guys are always very thankful. TFS!!

These are PERFECT! Love the sponging and that truck is fabulously coloured. I'm sure they were blown away and greatly appreciative. If not, let me know and I"ll come and talk to them LOL!
