Never thought I'd get to do this. I'm so happy, I could...spit.

For those of you who haven't heard the story behind my Timeless set:

I don't have a casino, nor a card room; heck, I don't even have a regular game yet. But I do have a husband that I simply adore. Michael - whose nickname is Bear - has gotten tattoos every ten years we've been together (2 so far, for our 26 years) of a bear holding a rose. His tattoos honor our marriage, and I've always wanted to do something similar. To me, chips are a work of art, similar to a tattoo; and I wanted something simple, yet complex in its meaning, as a tribute to him and us. Something that would tell our story without words (though I can't help but gush as it is when I speak of him).

So, with the help of Austin5String and Jsmithjr32, we came up with the BearRose stamp...I decided to call the set "Timeless"; corny, I know, but it works for us.

I really can't thank HPT John and CT John enough; HPT John for his awesome design, and CT John for his patience, skill, reasonable costs, and extreme quickness in getting these done. Both of them come highly, highly recommended.

Best birthday present ever.
