Handmade Christmas 2012

The pun-loving side of me

gets a smirky giggle out of this particular hand made gift

for my dad.

I purchased a "create-your-own collage tumbler" from Starbucks

and simply embellished the insert with the kids' hand prints

and quotations about their favorite things to do with Grandpa.

I thought that the boys would get a big kick

out of getting their hands messy on the ink pad,

but no, they objected to the requisite hand washing

and actually had to be coaxed to participate.

Oh well, it still turned out pretty cute,

and I know their Grandpa will be delighted to use it.
