Father's Day Book & Gift Card Holder

The girls and I made these for each of them to give to their dad on Father's Day this year. Each of the 16 pages feature loving thoughts about their dad like:

I love my Daddy because...

I know my Dad loves me when...

My Dad taught me to...

This is a portrait of my Daddy.

Each page also has room for photos, drawings and memories for Dad. 

We also made matching gift card holders.

Father's Day Gifts Part 3

Check out this super fun Table Saw Gift Card Holder I made *Ü*

My father likes to work with wood; he loves making intarsia pieces, which is a mosaic of wood fitted and glued into a wooden support.  I wanted to give him a gift card for Father's Day in a really special way! And I thought this project would be perfect ~ it's actually an *interactive* Table Saw Gift Card Holder.  When the wood is moved across the saw, the gift card comes out the other side!

You can get the full instructions on how to make one of these for yourself HERE.
