Meet & Greet Blog Hop #29 

Meet Everyone! This week’s “Get to know you question”: What was your most memorable Father’s Day gift you gave to your dad?

 *Hosts*

 
Kim – from 2 just B you: At school one year, we made Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gifts at the same time (school always got out before Father’s Day, so it was great that the teacher did this). I made matching picture frames, one for Mom and one for Dad. And I remember being so proud of how they turned out. I had rushed home to unwrap them, put photos in, and then re-wrapped them!

 Laurie – from Created By Laurie: My Father is away from home a lot for his work, so he really tries to relax when he is home. While he was away one time my younger brother sold his Xbox and all of his games for money. He didn’t have the funds to replace it so he was really disappointed. I bought a replacement along with a handful of games. It was put in an old Xbox box, so when he first opened his gift his eyes light up, “You bought me an Xbox?” “No,” I said laughing, “I just used the box” His smile went away for a second until he opened the box. “You did!” It felt great to give something back to him after he has done so much for me.

Amanda – from Jedi Craft Girl: My most memorable Father’s Day gift? Hmmm….I can’t really recall a specific gift for my father (that’s kind of embarrassing). Every year I help my children make their daddy a mix book. We include pictures from the past year, highlights & memories. I ask the children questions about daddy like, if you had $1,000, what would you buy daddy? Or what is daddy’s favorite thing to do in his free time? We do about 10 of these questions and put the answers in the book. We get a kick out of reading the books years later and seeing how everyone’s answers change.

Now it’s YOUR turn! What was your most memorable Father’s Day gift you gave to your dad? *Our Featured Guest this Week*

“Oh man! That’s awesome! I have a coworker who has chickens and sells us their eggs. She’d LOVE that as a table runner. She’s also been educating me on all kinds of chicken habits (as well as trying to convince me to get an apartment chicken. Yes, they actually exist somewhere) and I’m trying to convince her to get a silkie.  Thanks for offering such an awesome prize!”
