A GREAT Father A GREAT Day !!

The GREATEST Dad I Know " My Dad "

I know we all have Great Dads ! But yea to me my Dad was the Greatest ! I lost my dad back in 2007 he had Alzheimer's & Parkinson's disease . But my dad lived a nice life, he loved what he did ( an over the road  truck driver )  He always encouraged me and he loved that I taught myself to paint. I remember when I learned to macrame in art class in school and I had my macrame all set up on the living room floor, all my cord cut and pinned to a piece of cardboard. I was never one to be able to follow written instructions, I would read them and then figure it out in my head,then I would begin my projects. This time I was making a macrame purse and he would watch me and ask all about what I was doing,taking pictures and was just amazed how tying all the cords in knots was taking shape into a purse!  My First and I used it too !!!

It's really hard sometimes to find your Dad something for a gift for Fathers Day and even birthdays that would be so different and Unique for you're Dad that isn't your typical gift ! I always like giving gifts that were unique,handmade and that was most likly a gift that your neighbor wasn't going to walk out the door with the same tie or shirt that you bought for your Dad !! 

Here at our Etsy Shop www.etsy.com/shop/inmypaintedgarden we do have Unique, handmade, one of a kind gifts for you to give your Dad or husband for Fathers Day or any occasion !

I always have the same spots at the craft shows we do and it's GREAT seeing customers comming back and all the new ones that comes from customers who have given them for gifts or even seen them .
