So blue without You

This one I thought of all by myself.... (I am sure others have to) but he told me he needed shanving cream and it comes in a blue container so I thought why not just make everything blue. unfortunaly I could not find movies with blue in the title at walmart :/ and with no blue-ray player out there I could not do that. Oh well did the best I could. He loved this one also. 

Easter Care package

So this is my husband's awsome easter care package. I know the stuff does not look like much but he asked for big things this time that took up tons of space :/ He loved it and I am way behind on posting it.

St Pattrick's day care package

                       So I am sending the hubby a St. Patrick's day box to lift his spirits some. 

I know jerky is brown but it's jalapeno flavored :). I also made a slide show to our love song and made a cover that said lucky to be in love with you.

V-day care package

Here is my Valentine's day box to my love in Afghan-land. He has not received it yet but I thought I would share what I did and where I got the ideas from. Some are my own and some from this great website I follow to help strengthen our marriage! 
He asked for some things that were not part of my plan for the box and took up space, but he needed it :/

 This is the box all put together. I love to decorate these boxes and I am hoping my husband likes them too. 

I baked him some chocolate cookies with pink M&Ms inside. wrote I <3 U on them with frosting and added sprinkles. The tin I bought held 22 I wanted to place them so that he could read what they said. I placed wax paper between layers so hopefully the make it and do not stick together!

So this is what's in the box besides 3 air odor eliminating jar bead things,
.I love the little monkey, he is the cutest.
I will start right back to right front. so the first thing is a crazy signing card from Walmart  i love these cards. next in the pink wrap is dark chocolate covered cherries. I know you are thinking "won't they melt?" probably not since he has been telling me it is actually really cold there right now. Next would be Nutella to go, last minute add-in when I was at Walmart getting the odor things. Then is this great printable for kisses each day (or in my case, change to each month) we are apart. I got this lovely printable from the Dating Divas and I will post links at the bottom of this post. okay so next in the small tin is some heart candy. In front that is a sucker that says I love you, then angry birds v-day candy! (how perfect is that for a guy) next is a candy box filled with those little convo heart things. (shh! I ate a few while putting them in the cute box I found at my local grocery store). Last but not least is a little note that our FRG put together to put on a poster to the guys. Sadly, it was going to the other FOB and not the one my husband is at, so I sent my hand written one to him. There was another printable that I did not catch in my photo, its really sweet. It is a poem heart that you choose the words to yourself and they make it in heart form so you can print it out. (also from the Dating Divas).... (can you tell I love them?)

                           This is my fav. box so far.
Here are the links to the printables:

Super Bowl care package

My husband is a huge football fan, Houston Texans to be exact. Well even though they did not make it to the super bowl I wanted him to have some fun that day. I found this great plate for chips and dip at Kroger. I made my hot salsa for him and got some chips. Filled in with his favorite candy. This actually took up the whole box.











I got him this awsome pillow when he first got over seas. I thought it was perfect. And he loves it.

Anniversary care package

Our Anniversary, which is the day before his birthday, also comes while he is deployed. So you guessed it I made an Anniversary in a box. :)

He got Cookies, animal crackers, Boxers (not my choice but it was needed) and his anniversary present. The first year is paper, so I got him a book he has been talking about lately. I am getting better at these packages. 

Birthday care package

My loving husband's birthday happens to come up while he is deployed so I tried to make the birthday party go to him. 

I the box I placed oreo cookies (birthday cake ones are no longer made I guess), pretzel sticks with cheese dip, some party horns, purple rope lighting, this room air fresher  and tons of candy. It happens to be his 21st birthday but we all know I can not send alcohol. - darn 

I hope he likes it and we will just celebrate when he gets home. 

Christmas care package

So this is my first care package where I got to have fun. (The first two were just crap he needed).

Obviously its Christmas  I over bought for the box and broke it up into two. So he will be very happy. The cat picture is on here because I was tempted to make a third box and mail him the cat. Of course the Army would not allow this, but he misses the cat and the cat misses him. I had so much fun decorating. And getting all the little treats. I hope he likes them and way more to come :)
