My dad got a giant tub o' Cashews and hubs, who told me his favorite nut is the pistachio got a bag of pistachios.
I saw the idea on one the many linky parties I visit each week (I must confess I don't remember which one.) The original blogger (LizzieJaneBaby) had linked it up. She even provided the free printables! I immediately pinned it (from the ORIGINAL SOURCE of course!) so I wouldn't forget where I saw it.
Once I bought the nuts, I resized the printables (and I did have to modify one of them since I wanted "Grandpa" and she only had Daddy and Papa) and recreated her awesome idea.
And that is the beauty of linky parties.. Not only did I get to share my latest project, I also found a new project I adored and wanted to copy, I found the original source of that project and was able to share it on my blog and on Pinterest where it has been repinned a couple dozen times.
I have actually stumbled upon another blogger who also copied this idea after she found it on Pinterest (I have got to wonder if it was my pin?!) What a small world! Isn't it a great system?!
Anyhow.. now that I am done swooning over linky parties, I want to wish you all a Happy Father's Day!
The girls are really looking forward to spending the day with Daddy.. the first love of their lives!
That's a cute idea! I honestly can never think of anything for my dad! I will definitely be using this sometime!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you were able to use this idea!! It turned out really cute! I almost bought that big bag of pistachios or the big bag of peanuts in the shells, but the guys in my life just love cashews. I think the label looks great on the big bag! Thanks for sharing with me.
