Happy Friday everyone! Sunday is Father's Day and I know as memory keepers we try to get all the people, places and stories happening in our lives documented and on the page. This doesn't leave a lot of time or brain power (lol) left to think up cool, funny, and/or interesting titles for our pages. Good thing I'm all about the words. So I'm here to share some fun ideas for titles and a quote or two that would be fun to add to our Father's Day pages this year or any year really.Let's talk titles first. There's lots of places to find inspiration these days and Google is just one of them. I perused the web and found a few fun title ideas like: The Man. The Myth. The Legend Worst Jokes. Best Dad.

One of my favorite tricks to journaling when I don't know what to say is letting someone else tell the story. Is there a child who can answer a few questions about fathers? Or is there someone who will tell the story for you? I love to capture my mom telling stories about her dad. I've added some stories from my siblings about our dad. For my husband, I added a story that a child from church told me. Stories from other voices can help round out the personality of a person. Lists are a great way to capture the moment. List out the … [Read more...]
Need a last minute Father’s Day present?
Did Father's Day just sneaked on you? I have a simple but WOW project and it gets the kiddos involved in the present. Mind you, this is a quick project if you are enjoying some dry and warm temperatures. We did ours inside and it took a bit longer because you MUST wait for each step to dry before you start on the next one. NOTE: All the painting was done by my 8 year old. I only helped with the cutting of the template and outline with the permanent maker.Materials: 12x12 canvas (you can vary this depending how big you can print or copy the digital element) acrylic paints paint brushes contact paper (I used a shelving plastic cover with sticky back) printer, paper, scissors, x-acto knife (or blade) Father's Day by Kate HadfieldInstructions: Download your digital kit into your computer.
