Is it just me, or is buying gifts for dads next to impossible?! I’ve never been good at buying gifts for my own dad, and when it comes to helping Miss G come up with fun gifts for her Papa, I’m not much better. Thus, we usually go with something simple, handmade, and from-the-heart. For last year’s Father’s Day, we put together a simple framed Papa interview and portrait, a super easy snack basket, and our annual Papa and Grae photo book {well now that I type that, I wonder whether or not I actually finished and printed it… ACK! Must look into that}. This year, Gracen and I have a few new ideas in mind, the first of which is this very simple ‘I love you’ pillowcase.
Grae’s been so into writing the last few months, that this truly is a perfect gift. She loved making it and it’s something that her Papa can actually use. I also love it because it forever freezes her adorable beginning printing in time {that lopsided ‘v’ and that extra tall ‘u’ just kill me!}
For all of the details, pop on over to CBC Parents and see our I Love You, Daddy Pillowcase post.

We’d love to have you!
Love it! If only my one year old could write! haha!
Trace your one year olds hand print.
You could do hand-over-hand printing with him or her, Mel! Or Amanda’s handprint idea sounds lovely! :)
Did you use trace over the writing with permanent marker?
we just made these today – we bought some special crayola fabric markers from michaels, they were only $4.99 and can be heat set so they are permanent.
We used fabric markers, Jasmine! :)

That’s exactly what we did too, Kyla! :)
HI! We featured this idea on our 35 Dad approved Fathers Day gift ideas post today! We linked back here of course:) Thanks for the fun idea! http://www.whymoms.com/35-dad-approved-fathers-day-gifts/
How did you heat set it?
Well, dating has never been simpler, especially in today’s technology age. I use this local hookup sites and have already met so many wonderful folks! If you are outgoing, charming, and have a good sense of humor, beautiful people will invite you out on a date. Take a peek and best of luck!
Omg how really sweet it is! I don’t know how much I would give to see that my own child makes this for his father and my husband. But I am 39 years old already and still unmarried. My sister has 3 children and she says I need to be looking for a date tonight near me to somehow make the ball rolling. Otherwise I may end up my life single.
