 OK, I have a little story for this week's card for Fab Friday #19 - of course! I have a wonderful 92-year old friend who just received her monthly shipment of FABULOUS pears from Harry & David's - you know, the ones they wrap in gold foil because they are SO da' bomb? When her shipment arrived, I told her about how we used to get a "Fruit of the Month" subscription from there, and I described how hubby and I used to race each other home from work on the day we knew it was supposed to arrive. We'd call each other on our cells with race updates, too: "Dude, I'm only one exit away! Those cherries are MINE, BWAHAHAHA, sucker!" It was guite, ah, competitive... So my friend surprised me on my way out the door with two of the pears to take home, and she was very specific - "Isn't Todd away camping this weekend? Make sure you eat them before he gets home, now!" and laughing like a loon. Needless to say, mission accomplished! Here's my quick thank you to her - for Fabulous Pears! Perfectly Preserved (Retired) stamp set; More Mustard (retired), Lucky Limeade (retired) and Very Vanilla CS; Early Espresso, Lucky Limeade (retired) & Raspberry Ripple inks; Orchard Harvest DSP (retired); Cannery Set framelits; Small Oval & Corner Rounder punches; Honeycomb embossing folder; self-adhesive Rhinestones.

What an adorable story! That was sweet of your friend to share her "special" pears. I love the card, just as I am sure she will. I so love the Perfectly Preserved set! I normally don't keep my retired sets, but that one went into my "keep forever" collection. Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
