Creative Father's Day Gift


  
Does anyone else find it harder and harder to come up with great Father's Day gift ideas?  My dad is one of the hardest people to shop for, maybe because has already has everything he needs and so much of what he wants.  My challenge is finding great gifts within my budget




This year I decided to go with a homemade gift.  I figured if it came out nicely, he could hang it somewhere in the house.  If it doesn't look nice, then he'd just say "it's the thought that counts" and put it aside. 




I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about how it turned out.  I don't have a creative bone in my body.  I'm an idea thief.  I find great ideas and modify them to suit me.  It's the same reason people think I'm a good cook.  The truth is, I'm not.  But I can read.  So I can cook.  But I digress. 


For once, this is an idea I came up with completely on my own, although I'm sure it's been done before. I was at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and I spotted the wooden trays and letters. That was my inspiration.




Incidentally, does anyone else think there's a black hole at Hobby Lobby, or at least a time warp? I go in and come out, only to find a minimum of one hour has passed. The store sucks me in.

  1. It looks great! Yes, there is a black hole or some odd occurrence at HL--it happens to me nearly every time, too.

    Not to mention the money magnets they've obviously installed there!

    Sweet project!
