Your BEAUTIFUL card brought tears to my eyes just now. My DH and I met in 1973 when this song by Jim Croce was popular. We met, dated for 2 1/2 weeks, he returned to his Army Base in Germany ( A base is called a Kaserne in Germany ) and we wrote letters every day for the next 10 1/2 months. (We also sent a 30 minute cassette tape to each other each week as well ) When my DH Terry returned to Germany after that 2 1/2 weeks of dating, the first thing he purchased was the cassette recorder AND the JIM CROCE ALBUM....that song was the FIRST song he taped on that very first 30 minute cassette he sent to me ! After 10 1/2 months of dating we married in June of 1974, and had a wonderful marriage until he died in Nov of 2002. Most people wouldn't beleive this, but we had a perfect marriage,we never EVER fought ! We had such a wonderful life, and I miss him more and more every day. We had four fantastic children, and we now have 8 grandchildren ! The sad part was that my DH died 6 wks before that first grandbaby was born !
In Closing, this is an AWESOME CARD....you are a FANTASTIC STAMPER !
Thanks so much for bringing a wonderful memory to me today.....!

Oh Dawn! this is awesome! I love the use of the gears and clock as the circles! Love the colors and the quote from Jim Croce's song! I think I'll be singing that the rest of the day!

That is so weird - DH has been singing this song, and there's no way he could have seen this!! In fact he's singing it as I type. I've been on the lookout for a good clock set, I'll be interested to see this one .
