Whether you celebrate your own father, your children's father, your grandfather, or a friend's father, you're gonna find some WONDERFUL projects on this hop dedicated to all the special men in our lives!! :)

For my project today, I decided that I would post a gift for my dad for Father's Day... In years past, he's asked for things like... a money holder... But his idea of a money holder is this:
 |
| Yes. Seriously. A Rubber Band. :) |
 |
| LOL... He has enough of his own hair though... :) |

Although it sounds strange, I love that my dad immigrated to the US and is still has very old values. ;)
This mini album is so awesome! I am sure your dad is going to love it!
My father passed away 2 years ago! I loved his diplomatic way of dealing with things when I was a child. I do miss him!

What a great mini-album! Turned out wonderful. My Dad passed when I was 26, but even in my short life with him, I learned a lot. He was a terrific negotiator and I think I picked that up from him. Thanks for the chance to win those super new stamps from Kristal!!--Pat N.
Your album is out of this world!!! Beautiful..lucky dad for sure!!! I am a new follower!! I had a job finding where to comment , lol... I liked your face book page and I am going to share your blog... My dad died when I was seven but the thing I really loved most was the game of chasing us in and out of the house..there were many hiding places and a lot of screams...lol
Thank you for the chance to win!!! Keep up the awesome work!! You must be really busy for the Dads blog hop is quite a ways down the page!! Glad I met you and will be back for sure.
Okay... additional comments...
Just liked your Facebook page.
I thought you might want to know that I am unable to share your link on face book...it says there is blocked content... any idea what is going on?? I am trying twitter next.
Ok!! Me again!!! Twitter works, it may just be Facebook...
3 totally amazing and wonderful projects. You did yourself proud this weekend.
I didn't answer your other post questions but I will this one because it's about my hero- my dad, and the best thing about him is pretty much everything!
I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of your posts.
What an awesome album, although your first two gift ideas were pretty cute too!!! My dad was very wise, but did not interfere. He only gave advice when he was asked. As an adult, I appreciated that! He was always there when I needed him....I miss him so!
New follower here. Great mini album. I think I'd like to try and make one for my dad for father's day. =)
My dad has such a giving heart. His generosity to help others is what makes him special.

Oh wow, you are a busy woman! This is wonderful! My dad was an amazing person! He made friends with everyone he met and he was a very caring, fun and attentive father! He was always a shoulder to lean on and a hug when I needed it and he was the best grandfather any little girl could ever dream of. He just passed away a few months ago and I miss him sooooo much! I'm crying here typing about it. We are skipping father's day this year because I can't stand to celebrate but I really love your mini! Sorry for getting all sad on you but you are one of my favorite blogging friends! Thanks for always sharing your amazing creations!

First let me say, your writing is fantastic. It was fun to read.
Your dad is going to love this album. I know I do. Great job.
I am going to tell you the best thing about my kid's dad instead of my own. He went to every doctor appt, every school event, drove them to school every day and picked them up every day for all of their school years. He is the BEST dad ever.

Awesome mini! I mean "SUPER"!
The best thing about my dad is that he has seen the 'light' and is now a much better dad and grandpa that he was when I was younger. I'm so glad he is always a phone call away and always there with a helping hand.

What a great mini album!! Your dad is going to love it.

I am new to scrapbooking & paper crafting so projects like this just blow me away! Especially love that the kids were able to go to a WINNING Bucs game (long time suffering fan here) and keep their smiles! Looking forward to getting lots of inspiration from you.

Wow, your dad mini album is gorgeous! It really shows the love you put into making it. What a very special gift for your dad.
The best thing about my dad is he is a straight shooter, just says it like it is. You may not want to hear the truth but you can always count on him to tell you the truth. And with the truth comes good advice from years of experience.

Your so lucky to still have your dad I LOVE your projects for him and I bet he cherishes every moment. I was 32 when I lost my and he was only 52 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss him. He was the most AMAZING grandpa to my boys in the world

Wow, what a thoughtful, beautiful gift to give your dad. The thing I loved most about my dad was that he could do anything in the world it seemed. He could find a way to fix everything. I miss him so much. It's sweet that you don't wait to tell your dad how much you love him. Never wait to tell him. Keep doing what you're doing. If you get a chance I have a tribute to my dad over on my blog. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your projects and giveaways! Your blog is a party on it's own! :0)

Fantastic mini for Dad, mine is amazing because he has always been there for me, not only to every event I had but also emotionally. As an adult, I know how hard it must have been especially working nights (he is a peace officer).
I love your DAD album. It is soo great. I am a new subscriber.
Love the album always wanted to make one. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE your mini Amy! I want to try one~!!
As always Amy this is mini is outstanding.
Love your mini! I think I will make something like that but as a reminder of how great my dad was and what he did for future generations to see. TFS
