~Daddy~last minute gift idea

Need a last minute gift idea for your husband?

Check this out:

I made this for my husband today.

I saw the saying a couple months ago and 

knew immediately I wanted to do something with it.

I thought about putting it with a cute picture of

him and the kids but couldn't get a picture that

would look good without being completely

obvious. So....I ended up taking his work boots

and lining them up with our kids' little John Deere boots.

I absolutely adore the way it turned out.

I like the boots more so than I would have

a picture of them together. Somehow, to me

the boots make it even more personal than 

a picture of them all together would have.

So-to make this I lined up the boots and took the picture

out on the deck. Once I got the picture I wanted,

I edited it a little in Picasa. I played around with

the color and saturation a little, added the glow

feature to it and inserted the text.

I had it printed up at the 1 hour photo at Walgreen's

and bought a mat at Michael's crafts.

I wanted to put it in a frame in the living room

that was already on the wall with an old pic in

 it. So-I took the old picture out, replaced it with this, 
wrapped it up and hung it back on the wall.

Think he'll notice?

I figure this will be less obvious than an empty

spot on the wall with a nail sticking out.
