We want to take some time this week to thank all those dads who are there for us every time we need them. Always looking out for us, and our kids, these dads and grandfathers are some of the most stable features in our lives. Here’s to you, Dad! Our Designers have made some terrific projects to show we’re thinking of you. And, yes, we just had our oil changed, thanks for asking!
Starting us off in this celebration of all things Dad, BlogStar Rhea Weigand has created a gorgeous Shadowbox gift that any dad would love to receive! And she’s made a great tutorial for it. AND we want to thank her so much for her patience in reworking parts of it when one of the stamps she chose had been retired! You Rock, Rhea!!
