Happy Father's Day

Hi everyone,

Popping in this Father's Day to share the cards I made for my Dad and my husband for Father's Day.

My Dad truly is a wonderful father who has never been afraid to tell his kids that he loves them. He's also very encouraging, telling me that I'm doing a good job as a mom. He is probably the one person who does this more than anyone else and it means so much to me and really does help keep me going. My Dad also has a way of sensing when things aren't 'good' and can draw your struggles out of you (whether you want to share or not). Hee. ;)

Anyways, before I share the card I made for him I thought I'd share my favourite picture of the 2 of us together when I was 2 yrs old.


And here's the card I made for him. The stamps are Hero Arts and the library card is really a library card. (My Mom got a bunch and gave some to me). I'm writing this post on Wednesday night and still have to get the gift card I've planned for it so I put another card in the pocket for now.


Love you Dad! Happy Father's Day!

My husband is also a wonderful father to our 4 kids. He lets them be much more daring and independent than I do, which is a good thing... gives some balance to my being over protective. ;) He's quicker to go out with ALL 4 of them than I am. He's better at tickling them and all that good stuff. He's just the dad they need. :)

Here's a picture of him with all four kids taken about 4 years ago:


Yep, we have our hands full! ;)

Here's the Father's Day card I made for him:




Thanks everyone for popping by. I hope today is a day for you to celebrate rather than one full of sadness. Thinking of those of you who don't have happy 'dad' memories or only have memories to hold onto. Hugs.

How to bring tears to a father's eyes, in a good way! These are some of the nicest words I have ever heard or read. I love you Sarah, and continue to be proud of you. You are not only a very good mother, but an great daughter. ..Dad
