A long while back, I'd been saving my cigar bands. Tobias posted, asking for bands for his bicycle. I never got off me arse and sent them, so I (tried) to throw them away. My wife decided otherwise, and recovered the 2 bags full for a project. We had an end table to a sectional that we no longer have. Bless her heart:
This was 8hrs work between her and my 13yo daughter. This thing is 33" square!
Needless to say, that's a hell of a handmade bday present. And if that wasn't enough, last night I came home to the kids and mama giving me a $20 gift card to Just For Him! When midnight comes around, she will join me in the garage for birthday beer and cigars. What a woman!

That is gorgeous! Take it from someone who has done one of these... you owe her some big kisses. There are few things in this world more time consuming than decoupaging with cigar bands

Very cool!
I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

Sweet, very nicely done by the Mrs. Enjoy your B'day
Couple of things I've learned. I like good Bourbon and hate wet toilet paper.
