Unsung Hero of Sugarplum Boutique!

All this would NOT be possible without my dear husband. So leave a comment and give a shout-out to the one who really makes this possible! :) I always appreciate him, and I am thinking of his support even more during this busy bow-season (craft shows coming up, Etsy shop opening soon).

Rick is such a key player in this venture by...

...allowing me to put time (sometimes a LOT) into making products even though it means more work for him (taking care of the kids by himself, etc.)
...having a heart to give to orphans and adoptions. I'm grateful to have a spouse who is willing to sacrifice, rather than insisting that this be for us. (Although some of it will go toward our adoptions, it's not for the sake of having more money to spend.)
...tending to the kids when I'm busy. Often times he'll take the kids to the Y while I get things done.
...letting me purchase yet another big order of bulk ribbon.
...being willing to watch the kids by himself for an entire Saturday and give up a family-day when I have a show.
...setting up my new serger for over an hour.
...not minding if I fall even more behind on things around the house. He'll even pick up much of the slack, going down to the basement to work on laundry (without my asking) and things like that.
...putting up with my bow messes. I can't believe I'm showing you this! Currently, though, our table is not so bad. But often times it looks like this on the table, various places on the floor...

...sacrificing time with me after the kids go to bed while I'm working on stuff. He kisses me goodnight, then heads to bed, always with a "Don't stay up too late." :)
...helping me with bow work sometimes! Here he's working on butterfly antennae :)

Thanks, hon, for all your support, your heart to help the fatherless and your sacrifices and hard work!!! I'm honored to be your wife and abundantly blessed that the Lord chose you for me! And you're dang cute!

I am cracking up at the pic of Rick w/ the headlight working on the serger; ONLY because my husband LOVE his headlamp and thinks they are the greatest invention AND because my husband was working on my sewing machine last night and figured out what is wrong w/ it when the sewing repair guy couldn't! What great guys!
THANKS RICK for being so supportive & helping little girls everywhere feel beautiful!
