Dad's Day

Since I knew I wouldn't get to see my dad for Father's Day this year, I took his gift to him on Memorial Weekend.
I've been hoarding men's ties for several months to make this project.  Had to run to Salvation Army to grab a few extras...but I was really happy with the way it turned out.

It's a wreath!  I only wish I'd thought to have my mother send some of his old ties to me and see if Grandma had any ties that were Grandpa's.
It looks better hanging on a door....
Here's the tutorial I used to make it:  Neck Tie Wreath

Grandma's birthday was June 11th and here's the wreath I made for the front door at her brand-new house.

I love to make wreaths!!  I have a new one on my door every month :)

My parents had their wedding anniversary on June 2nd.  I took a photo of them with me on the trip from their wedding day and left it there on accident.  We took a photo of them on the same steps of the church where they got married so I could have 2 photos side-by-side.  I'll have to be sure and get it the next time I visit.  Here are my parents:

Happily married for over 40 years!  They are a wonderful example of love and marriage.
Congrats Mom and Dad!!

Here's what I'm making this weekend for my father-in-law and his brother (who has a birthday close to Father's Day)
Chex Mix Containers

Super cute, huh?
I'll put Italian Chex Mix in one and Cheezy Ranch Chex Mix in the other.
