    Vera’s card in a box is so amazing! I love how she colored the cute critters. She is so talented. I’m one of her blog followers and I always admire her work.

  • Cathy K.

    For my 40th birthday, my husband surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas. He had the local radio DJ’s call me in the morning to say happy birthday and tell me about the trip. He made arrangements with my boss for me to have off from work and had my mom lined up to watch the kids! I was truly surprised and we had a great trip!

  • Lesley Croghan

    One of my best surprise memories, is when I was 15 years old. My parents took my sister and I to Vancouver because my father had a business meeting. When we got there we went past the Queen Elizabeth theatre and my sister and I both knew that “Les Miserables” was playing there but that is was sold out! My dad thought it would fun to drive to the theatre, just to see what it looked like. We parked the vehicle, got out and walked around the theater. My dad made his way to the box office to ask if there are any tickets left. The box office lady said no; it had been sold out for months. Then my dad is asked if there were any tickets under my name…and there were 4!!!! My sister and I both squealed with delight and to this day it is one of the best memories of my life!!! Amazing card, Vera! You definitely went all out on this!!!

  • Debbi Vasel

    Hard to say what the best surprise I have ever received is, but I will say when my husband surprised me with a 50th birthday party several years back. He can never keep a secret.

  • Janet Ingraham

    The best surprise I can remember receiving this moment, is when my husband managed to sneak my best friend in from a very long way. I hadn’t seen her for many years. He told me we were going to the airport to pick up his sister so I didn’t even se my friend come down the escalater and walk up to me. I just about fell over.

  • Margaret J. MacDonald

    Love your card !! My daughter got me into cards 7 years ago & I’m having a ball, @85 !! The best “surprise” I ever had – – was getting a 12 bass accordion for X’mas (1940) & 1st thing I played on it was the “BEER BARREL POLKA” – by ear !! Then, summer of ’55 my husband surprised me with a 120 bass!! I started taking lessons but having a family – the accordion went into the closet. Today, after all those years I have a Lowery Organ & it’s easier to play by ear than try to follow the music. I have 5 CDs of songs I play-by-ear BUT – getting into card making – my music is taking a back seat, again. I can’t do everything !! M.J.M.

  • Janet Sisk

    My hubby and several coworkers threw a HUGE surprise party for me for my 40th birthday. I had NO idea they were planning it. My hubby even made a powerpoint with pictures from my birth to my then current pics. It was fun and very touching for me. 😀 Thanks for a chance to win.

  • Tami French

    Hmmm The best surprise I ever received. I guess was finding out I was pregnant with my daughter who is now 17. I was SHOCKED when I found out and it has been the best present I could have ever received.

  • Kathy Schenck

    The best surprise I have ever received was on our honeymoon (we have been married 39 years now). We were flying to New Orleans but my new husband wanted me to get off the plane in Orlando, FLorida because he had planned a stopover at Disney World that I didn’t know about!!

  • Sue A

    The best surprise I ever received came in November, 2014 when we received a call from our state’s foster care placement agency to ask if we would take in a precious two month old boy who needed a home right away. We had been praying and planning for a child for years, but thought we would never have the opportunity (or the stamina!) to care for an infant. But, a half hour later and we were handed our precious son. Surprise, it’s a boy! We’re so grateful and prayerful that we will soon be able to adopt him to make our family official in the eyes of the law.

    I haven’t made box cards yet so this is a great initiative to start! The best surprise I’ve ever received was my husband buying tickets and taking me to the 2015 World Series baseball game. He’s a Cubs fan and I’m a Mets fan. Since they played each other in the playoffs and my team totally killed his, that made his gift that much sweeter. He took me just to make me happy! And that it did!!

    MY biggest surprise was probably about 8 years ago. My in-laws stopped just to say hi. ( Well that’s what I thought anyways) To my surprise they invited my husband and I to go on a cruise with them and my sister-in-law and her husband. They paid for they cruise to Alaska. All we had to do was pay for our drinks and spending money!! Boy did I have a fabulous time!! I am so ready to take another cruise any time. It was so much fun!!!

  • Diane Conklin

    I love the box card! These critters are adorable. My biggest surprise was my Chocolate Labador Retriever. My husband surprised me with her on Christmas morning. He said he was going out for Bagels. He came home with the bagels and we started to open presents. He left the room and came back in. A few minutes later the puppy came prancing into the room. It was the best surprise.

  • Sherry Hall

    Wow – what an awesome card! I’m difficult to surprise but I appreciate when my husband or friends try to surprise me with something (like a party for my 50th birthday). I knew something was up. I love it when he tries.

  • Eva Wierzbinski

    My husband was on a business trip in Palo Alto. I flew out there to join him for a mini vacation. I flew in to San Jose and went to get a taxi to take me to Palo Alto (because my husband was in meetings all day, he couldn’t pick me up). Much to my surprise, when I got into the terminal, my husband is standing there waiting for me!!! He blew off his afternoon meetings so he could be with me! That’s what love is all about!!!!

    Oops, I was so excited about the box card, that I forgot my favorite surprise. The whole 9 months I carried my middle child, I was sure it was a boy because my husband and I both wanted a girl.
