I love really personal, one-of-a-kind gifts. If you have been following this blog for very long, you probably already know that. So, for Father's Day this year, I did a Google search for ideas and found this picture (below) and knew that was exactly what I wanted to do for Father's Day 2011:
Since I have four children, not three (like were pictured in the original picture), I had a little more freedom when choosing what letters to write on my childrens' feet. You can see in the pictures below that it took a *LOT* of tries, but you can also see how much fun we had!
Take 1:
Take 2:
Take 3: (below) Oops! Got Mommy's feet too!
Take 4:
Take 5: (below) What happened to Davey?!
Take 6:
Take 7: (below) Perfect! (or close enough anyway!) Cropped and changed to black and white...
(Below) Custom-framed and matted in a stunning silver... A special gift for a special Daddy!
Happy Father's Day 2011 to a hero Daddy who provides strong, protective hands for his adoring four children!
Just love it, Jolene. You really do come up with some fantastic ideas.
