Sano K-300

By far the favourite card I have made for a member of my own family was the one I made for the hubby's birthday last year. The kids still talk about it. Therefore I knew I had to come up with something good this year. Something that was going to make them all laugh that little bit harder. Well, it was Mister Handmade in Israel's birthday yesterday and I'm pleased to say that both the hubby and the boys roared when he opened this year's envelope.

The hubby is very pale skinned. A real Englishman in New York, erm, the Middle East. He's quite rightly careful about the sun and insists on wearing a truly dreadful green hat with a flap to cover his ears and neck. I couldn't resist showing him wearing the above-mentioned hat on his birthday card!

Not only is he careful about the sun, but he's also obsessed careful about flies and other creepy crawlies getting in to our back garden and home. Now, I'm not saying that I love them, but Mister Handmade in Israel, well, he blasts them with plenty of strong smelling repellent whenever he gets the opportunity. The Sano K-300 that he uses is powerful stuff. There isn't a crawling insect or cockroach that can survive it but I often wonder if we can survive it too! Boy does it smell.

I have shown the hubby with a can of Sano in his hands. Those little flies look pretty scared don't they? The big cloud of repellent clearly shows the hubby's age on it, and I popped a football onto the card too. I simply can't make a card for many of the boys in my family without a football on it. I was tempted to make it England-related given that, up until the night before the hubby's birthday, England were doing pretty well in the European Football Championship. Good job I didn't do it.

Happy Birthday Mister Handmade in Israel. Thank you for laughing at the card and allowing us all a little giggle. I hope you had a great birthday and that you liked your cake too. If you don't come home from work soon there won't be any left for you. The eldest son is rather partial to it...
