And when I say last minute, I mean it's 9:30 on Saturday night and you, like me, are pulling together plans to celebrate Daddy-o!

I thought I'd share a couple quick, easy ideas to make the day more special tomorrow!

Right now, I'm printing off these Amanda Parker's free tie printable, but just the cupcake toppers.  I'm going to use them as handouts for my Sunday School class tomorrow.  I teach some pretty little kids so I thought I'd just punch a couple holes in the ties and use yarn to make necktie cards to send home with them!

download them from her site here

I'm also thinking of making these super cute cupcakes from Nothing but Country:


The husband is getting a new fly fishing rod tomorrow, so it would be appropriate!  Last year I made cupcakes to tie in with his other great love: golf!

We're excited to have a guest post today with Melissa from Blue Prints Photography!  She's amazing and always has a fun photo idea for us for the holidays!  You have to check out her blog though to see all of her non holiday related work... *wink*

For Father's Day, why not make a fun card with pictures of what your favorite man likes to do? Is it fishing? Is it reading? Maybe playing a game of basketball or football? Or just horsing around with the kids? If you're crafty, you can use scrapbooking paper to make something cute, or there are a multitude of digital frames you can use. I like this one because of the wood frame elements (makes it look more manly :) One of my favorite sites for digital cards and scrapbook paper is The Shabby Princess (http://www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads.asp). This is a link to FREE downloads of super-cute paper and collections, but they also have a bunch more you can buy for very reasonable prices. After making your card, you can even put it in a frame so he can keep it on his desk at work or on his nightstand.

So start snapping pictures of your favorite Dad doing his favorite things, and you're sure to have a card that's meaningful and artsy!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home...amen to that!! I know by the end of the day he can't come home soon enough and take over with the kids and...I could go on and on right!! We love our daddies and we wanted to make a fun printable to celebrate them. One of our favorite songs our kids like to sing is "I'm So Glad When Daddy Comes Home" and so we went with that and made a fun printable for you all to download.

We also like to decorate our lonely mantles (which never are lonely because we are ALWAYS celebrating some Holiday at our house!!) for Father's Day and made a father's day frame with some old ties for our printable. Then strung up some of our little guys ties and a club and ball and there you have it--Father's Day Mantle and printable. We have also included two of our other favorite printables for Father's Day that we have found out there in blogland...hope you enjoy and hope you take a moment to appreciate those daddies and all they do!!
Oh and if you do something fun in your house to show your dad that he is the man we would love to see it!!

sized for 8x10 or 16x20


As always, this printable is free, we just ask that you let us know if you like them and maybe become a follower of the blog?  Please?  Pretty Please?  Thanks, friends!

Here's a couple more Father's Day printables that we love, that are free!  The link to the other blogs is below image.  The first is from Proffitable Life and the second is from Midwestern Sewing Girl.  Both come in a variety of colors!
