Shirt & Tie cards for dads

I was making some of these Shirt & Tie cards to sell  for Fathers’ Day while at my new market in Endeavour Hills recently when my family dropped by to visit. I didn’t think my boys were actually taking much notice of what I was doing – the free fairy floss, popcorn and jumping castles were more of a drawcard! But a week or so later I discovered that Zane (9) had felt inspired to make his daddy a Fathers’ Day card and this is what he came up with all by himself!

Zane told me he saw what I was making and knew Daddy likes to get dressed up so this is what he made. The idea, design and the making were all Zane – and I’m so proud of him!

In fact I was proud of both my boys who were so excited about giving Daddy a special day they could hardly sleep. Instead of going to bed they hid in their rooms and made presents and plans for a party that they put together for when we got up the next morning. They made signs and decorations, even Daddy-specific party games. They wrapped handmade presents and others proudly bought at the stall at school. I loved seeing them so engaged with the idea of giving and showing their dad that they love and appreciate him. We must be doing something right!

If you like the cards or this post, make my day and leave me a comment!

Cheers
