12 Last Minute Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day is in just over a week, and I thought you all might need some inspiration like I do. So, here are some last minute ideas that any father would love, but that don't require too much time. Some of them just require a trip to the store, and some of them can even be altered to make them go a bit quicker. For instance - use a paint pen instead of heat transfer vinyl. Lots of these ideas even have free printables included.

In the past, I've also made coordinating shirts for my hubby and son. Two years ago I made Star Wars shirts. Last year, we went with the superhero theme.

One other gift that we've done every year is taking pictures with our son and the letters to spell out "dad". I put it into a frame and "re-gift" it every year. He loves it! It's fun to look back at our now 5-year-old when he was just 9 months old holding the same letters.

What do you do for the special dads in your life? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Crafting for Baby Series during March!!!

Hey there Someday Crafters! I'm totally excited about this Crafting for Baby series this month. I feel like I'm totally behind, mostly because I've got my own newborn at home. Case in point...I was supposed to have this finished last night and published this morning. However I couldn't keep my eyes open for more than 2 minutes at a time last night, so it didn't happen. Emmett isn't doing very well at nursing, so I spend 3/4 of my day attempting to nurse, then offering the bottle, then pumping after he eats. Then I have an hour or so to clean bottles and the pump, sometimes I get to clean myself, but then inevitably it's almost time to start the feeding thing all over again. Fugeddabout a nap! I really, really, really hope that my little guy gets this nursing thing figured out soon. I'm going to go crazy if I have to keep up this routine! Plus my house will be in shambles and I'll never get to craft again! :)

Anyway, back to our original topic...

To kick off our Crafting for Baby series, I was going to do a post about the memory boxes that I'm creating for Emmett and Jack. However, I'm still waiting for pictures to come back from the photographer who took pictures of Jack in the hospital. So, it's going to be a bit delayed, but hopefully I'll have it completed soon. I'm anxious to put them up!

So instead of a project from me to kick things off, I've got a little roundup for you with lots of cute little projects for the wee ones.
