If you're my husband you still can't read this

My clandestine crafting continues.

I thought I'd be done by now but it's proving really difficult to sneak this craft project in!

I'm having to work in little snippets and it seems like just when I get on a roll is when I have to quickly hide it away again.

I'm also not good at hiding things... especially surprise gifts. I get really excited about giving them and end up spilling the beans early because I can't wait any longer.

The faster I'm done the better chance this has of staying a surprise.

And yes, that's asparagus... The race for farmland was in Hadley, which is the "asparagus capital of a world". I the figured asparagus was a fitting symbol.

If you're my husband don't read this!

I mean it. If you're my husband and you clicked on this despite the title, don't read any further!

And

just

to

be

sure

you

don't

see

anything

I'm putting at least a scroll between

and

this post.

Ok- that should be enough. I'm working on a scrapping project that was supposed to be for hubbie's birthday. Unfortunately I didn't finish it in time, but I'm going to surprise him with it anyway.

It's a memory box of all the road races he's done in the last year. I'm going to make a two sided board for each of the races and they'll fit into this box from his sneakers. As he does more races I'll add more boards.

I think I might decorate the box too.

And of course I've collected photo's from each race. Here are a few:

Moral support/photography section for a summer race!

The Wicked Half Marathon in Salem MA. This was my husband's 1st half marathon. As if that wasn't amazing enough he also made the trip a little extra special by booking us into a historic hotel I've always wanted to stay in.

A cold rainy race for farmland...

Even being in our spectator/photography section was tough that day.

A big race on what ended up being a snowy December day.

Warm up run in the air conditioning on a freakishly hot St Pat's day.

But it was a beautiful day! And hubbie got a great finish time!

I'll keep you posted on my progress!
