anyone interested in picking up this project from me? anyone willing to do so would certainly be compensated for their services.

Make sure to put lots of glitter on it. Ladies love glitter.

Do it yourself. Make it personal. I'm sure she'll like that much more.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT BUY A HALLMARK CARD, SIGN YOUR NAME, AND GIVE IT TO HER.
That is about the most impersonal thing you can do.
I would make one she can keep, and even if you mess up she will probably think it was cute and she knows you tried.
I'm not much of a relationship guy, but this is all I hear about cards/gifts etc...

Make one of those huge signs that people wear to advertise things. You know, the ones that have a message on the front and back. All you need is two big pieces of cardboard or posterboard and two pieces of rope or string to go over your shoulders to hold the thing. Grab a marker and come up with a witty comment for the front and back. Jump out of the car and put the thing on...you'll pretty much win the game instantly.

Just my four cents.

Instead of a marker, you might try duct tape.

If you really wanted to go all out, you could add music to it too...

Just use anything around you and write a note with it. Such ideas as christmas ornaments, candles (carve your names), flowers, etc...

I'm pretty sure I got the point. I'm saying don't do that. We can give you an idea, but then you should be the one to do it.

Master KChief · « **Reply #10 on:** December 14, 2010, 10:14:48 PM »

regardless of what anyone says, im not going to do it. i need someone that does have the skill and time to do it for me.

I think he said it was girlfriends sister not his girlfriend.

Ha, good point. Although, it'll still make a good impression on his girlfriend if he does it himself. Or rather, it'll avoid a bad impression.

Master KChief · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2010, 10:23:20 PM »

i sincerely doubt anyone will know if i did it myself or not.

Red · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2010, 11:03:28 PM »

They'll know it isn't you because it isn't good.

Just DIY it's quicker and easier.

What sort of thing are you looking for?

You don't need to be artistic to make a card that will be remembered forever:

Step 1 - Obtain a white piece of paper out of your computer printer.
Step 2 - Think of a thoughtful Christmas message.
Step 3 - Obtain several magazines and newspapers.
Step 4 - Cut out a matching word from your Christmas message from each magazine/newspaper.
Step 5 - Glue words in order on white sheet of paper. (Be sure to use elastic gloves.)
Step 6 - Tape white paper containing Christmas message to her bathroon mirror when no one is around.

No one will ever forget your thoughtful gesture.

I imagine it depends on how much effort you put into Step 2.
