A Grandfather's Gift

Sorry for the lack of quality, lengthy posts this week. I just would rather be stuffing my face enjoying time with my family instead of being on a computer!

Buuuuuuut..... I did have to get a quick post up about something my dad made for Drew.

My dad is an artist. It was his degree in college and although he never became the next Picasso, he still tries to do as much as he can for a hobby. He can draw pretty much anything you ask and is very good at creating 2D and 3D masterpieces.

But probably one of the most special things he's given/made for us is something that he brought up this week:


My dad also made one of these for both my brother and I when we were little and I used mine every day. I love that he drew and painted everything by hand and even made it the beautiful antique-white color that it is.

Pretty special, huh?

I'm trying to convince him to start an etsy shop when he retires!

    So cool! He definitely needs an Etsy shop...or even doing craft sales locally could be pretty lucrative.

    I love that! I had one very similar, but it was pink with ballet shoes. This also reminds me of the wooden names that are painted. My dad made me one of those and I still have to this day (28 years old). I will cherish that forever!
