Making the Perfect Father's Day Gift

Step 1: Take about 65 pictures of your kids, holding wood letters.

Step 2: While taking these pictures, say "Please sit still and hold this - it's for Daddy!" about 73 times.

Step 3: Make sure kids don't get bit by strange fly thingy that landed on the white letter and won't get off.

Step 4: Finally give up, and hope that the three precious pictures I need will be somewhere on the camera.

Here are the 60+ pictures I took, just to get the right ones:



And here is the final result - changed to black and white in the perfect frame. Dad loved it!

(If you can't tell, the middle picture has both kids holding the letter "A")

    Marni, I love that! I think I might steal your idea for next year. Love the black and white look. You're so creative! :)

    That's AWESOME! I did that for my mom's birthday last year, by the end of it I was in tears, #3 was too complete with snot boogies and all but the pics made a great colage, she loved it! Not a single one came out well but put them all together-wa la!
