Love in the Cards?

I promised to explain this idea for making my wife think about me although she is far away. I am not sure where I had originally heard it, or even if it was anything similar to what I eventually did, but it went basically like this. Romantic husband/boyfriend out of the blue starts sending mail to his wife/girlfriend. They live together so he is basically mailing it to his own house, with his significant others name on the address. He does this for 10 days or so, mailing one a day, so that she recieves one letter a day for ten days (I am guessing on the day number).

I think it was my wife who had mentioned it to me some time back about how romantic it was. I agreed completely, and even if I hadn't, I still agreed completely. Actually, I did think it was a wonderful idea.

As I sat in my apartment thinking 'what can I do' this idea came to me. I decided to make cards with short notes telling my wife about things going on here, or how much I missed her, etc. Each card was just meant to be a reminder of me and my love for her. These cards were not shouting "I LOVE YOU", but rather simple messages that implied it.

The next thing I did was create a puzzle message with the cover of each card. I proceeded to paint a letter on each cover, which when put together tells my wife that I love her and miss her. On the interior messages i tried to create a nice script on the interior by using calligraphy, which I learned way back in high school. To be honest maybe I should have left what I learned back in high school, I am really rusty with calligraphy.

My foremost thought after completing all the note cards, was a wish that I was a better artist. It is not that I can't create nice art, but that it has been such a long time that my skills are horribly atrophied. If I were to try for perfection, I can't say that I would be any happier with the outcome, and I would probably have taken days longer to finish it at all.

I am hopeful that in this case my intent is more important then my actual lack of skill at the moment. I will just have to practice art and writing for future potential projects. I can only hope that the intent will shine through and make her happy.
