I may not have been able to give my husband a helicopter for Fathers day. But I did manage to give a heartfelt one.

I ordered prints from walmart on line-- of places we have visited and pictures of our yard.

I then went to the store and bought note cards that were blank with the envelopes (zurchers). (4x6)
I attached the pictures to the front of the cards. I now have personalized note cards that I can use for weddings, funerals get well, or whatever..
I gave these to my husband because we both like to send cards. (who doesn't want to receive one in the mail?)
cost: about .50 a card--at the store $1-3.50
I made about 100 note cards...They are the coolest
============================
The other gift Mark loved was his memory book. I also did this from walmart. (If you go to the camera bar) on the counter for free is a disc. that you download on your computer and then you can order prints from home, and make memory books.
My hub is totally into our yard and gardening. So I made him a book with pictures of our home and yard and garden. I found quotes that went with each picture.


Cost: about $20.00
Many of the other companies are more expensive than this. I was pleased with the results. I'm planning on making more note cards and memory books.

I have been having the hardest time getting on your blog again. Weird. I feel like I have to type quick before I get kicked off!
Love all the pics of your family. The pic of them napping sideways on their bed made me laugh.

Plus, I think everyone loves receiving good mail. There's nothing quite like a hand written card!
You did AWESOME!!!! Love, love, love the gift idea! I'm sure he did too!!!
I ♥ to make cards...it is my favorite hobby...I think because I love sending and receiving good mail!!
I love the book you made also! I have made on on Shutter-fly and had a blast making it...and loved the final book too!
Cool gifts! Is that flag picture from your front yard? I really need to try doing the book because who doesn't love getting a book?
P.S. Thank you for your nice comments on my blog. Love you!
I have been thoroughly enjoying your blog tonight. It is full of wisdom, love, faith and creativity. Someday I would love to be like you.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you for the compliments on my photography. My camera is a canon 40D. I love it. Someday, I just might marry it. Except, then I would be a polygamist. So, nevermind.
