A Special Father’s Day Gift Idea

When my son was 7 years old he wrote a paper at school about his dad being a hero.  That paper got my mind thinking and I decided to make a Father’s Day scrapbook.  I love scrapbook pages that are intricate and every detail is beautiful, but that is not me.  I am a get it done simple kind of person.  So I bought a few packages of Dad stickers and some different colored paper, colored markers and went to work.  The best thing about this scrapbook is I let my son write in it.  I didn’t correct his spelling or grammar.  This was a book that represented him and his Dad.  I just had to put it all together.   A little warning ….my husband is not a fan of sleeves or shirts.  He is shirtless in many photos.  Luckily he looks good without a shirt.

And finally the letter that started this whole idea.

We still get choked up every time we look at this book.  It is a treasure for sure.  Too bad Dads aren’t good at crafts.  I wish I had one.
