LOST Shadowbox I made for The Hubs for Xmas

My hubby is in the habit of buying stuff for himself in December, because he’s a moron. This year, one of the things he bought himself was series 1 and series 2 LOST action figures. Each one came with a special item that we looked at, thought “wow, that’s neat, but what do we do with it” and then The Hubs cheerfully set-up his dolls, er…“action figures” and displayed them in our downstairs family room (a.k.a. “his lair”). So, anyway, I came up with the brilliant idea to put the items together in a shadow box as a surprise for him (which he since ruined by going searching for the items frantically one day). Thought you might want to see the results:

You are the coolest, Keara. Well done.

And your moron Hub and my insane wife have something in common.
In the past couple weeks while out xmas shopping she bought a number of things for herself for Christmas saying “You can wrap these and give them to me.” Grrr…

I thot men liked it when you made their shopping easier

raises hand I do.

#7

Yeah, I know. I do too actually. I shouldn’t complain. But I woulda preferred something more like. “Here’s a list of things I’d like.”

#8

First of all, Keara, way awesome. He absolutely loves it and you, right?

Yes, me, too. This impression was reaffirmed when my girlfriend got an email from her dad with the list her mom gave him, and instructions to go find good options online and buy them, and he’ll reimburse her when she flies home.

“What are you doing?”
“Buying gifts for my dad to give my mom.”

Sigh.

only gifts my dad ever bought for my mom himself were flowers. I handled everything else

My grandfather has personally purchased two gifts for me in his life:

  1. a collection of Neruda poetry when I first found out about him
  2. a toolbox full of everything I needed

I have never seen him so excited to give one of his grandkids a gift as he was about that toolbox.
