Geoff and I are both in the circumstance where our birthdays fall a week or two before Mother's Day and Father's Day. He always is very generous to me, and it seems like I can usually come up with a list of ideas. But when it comes to things for him, I tend to be stumped. This would be a better Father's Day idea, but here is his birthday gift:
This actually benefits me as well, but we often give each other gifts like that! It is a framed impression of each child's handprint in FIMO clay. I've had the clay around here for months with this project in mind and finally did it. It did take a little time and effort, but wasn't too bad. I am one who tends to put things off because I have this feeling that it is going to take forever and be a big deal, but it usually isn't as bad as I think it is going to be, and feels good to have it done.
Anyway, after checking the calendar, it hit me that there are a lot of occasions for which cards are needed in the next few weeks, which pretty much have to be made tonight or never... Also have a movie home from the library that needs to go back in the next two days. Guess it is going to be a late night!!!
It IS a great idea! And I love the matting and framing!
ReplyDeleteSo did you get all those cards made??
