Father's Day ideas and printables

We'll soon be leaving for our "summer tour".  So, we needed to prepare our Father's Day gifts a couple weeks ahead of time.  I hope you fathers aren't looking!!!!

 

We found some great ideas on Pinterest and came up with a few of our own.  We didn't use some of the printables, but they are available and listed below.

 

We put Handsome Husband's pack together for under $20... 

1.  Orbit gum - $2 {for a 3-pk., Wal-Mart}

2.  Pistachios (printable from LizzeJane Baby) - $6 {Aldi}

3.  Favorite candies (printable from artsy-fartsy mama) - $4.50 {Aldi, Wal-Mart}

4. Cream Soda -  $3.50 {Wal-Mart}

5. Reese's Pieces (printables available from Nothing but Country and also Kids, Clutter, & Chaos) - $1 {Wal-Mart}  



 

 And under $10 for the infamous Pop Pop... 

1. Bucket of microwaveable popcorn - $1 {Wal-Mart} filled with goodies, of course...

2. Peanuts  (printable from LizzieJane Baby) - $ 1.50 {Wal-Mart}

3. Root Beer (with printables from iheartnaptime and Delightfully Noted) - $3.50 {Wal-Mart}

4. Cowtails (Not pictured) - You're the moooost best Pop Pop!

(I don't know why my photo with the numbers won't load up.  Grrrrr.)

 

There are still a few things left to get and some that are unmentioned.  I can't divulge all the secrets for the sake of sneaky eyes that might lurk here.  Happy father's day shopping!

For Father's Day

K constructed a trophy,

complete with Daddy's fave - chocolate-covered peanuts.

The man formed and baked this paperweight.

It says "Dad rocks", I wrote the words on paper and he did the rest.

Tutorial found at Crafts By Amanda.



Then, they constructed cards. 

Tutorial for the white card can be found at How About Orange.



Lastly, K sewed this pillow cover.

~ Completely by herself ~

Yes, it's that easy folks!

Oh, I did the ironing because she's a little intimidated by the iron,

but she sewed all of the rest.

Other than that, all I do is double-check measurements and let her roll on. 

We always use the easy-peasy pillow slipcover tutorial

from Raechel Myers over at Finding My Feet!



There was artwork, too.

And breakfast.

Happy Father's Day fathers!

Hooray for the sun! and Father's Day links

After many days of rain,

the sun is OUT!

Can you hear the angels sing?

After a surprise lunch visit from Daddy-O,

we did this...

and lots of this...

giggles and sandy toes.

With quite a bit on the calendar here, we're trying to get geared up for Father's Day.

You didn't, did you?

We found lots of cute ideas over at these places...

And we made a few of these with paper.

I've got a few tricks up my own sleeve that I refuse to divulge because I know that C can't help himself and he's reading this even as I speak type.  Let's just say they involve sewing and t-shirts.
