Sunday, it's Father's Day, it might be time for me to think of the present for my husband...

Because I'm sure you'd love to know, for my Mother's Day, I got a peonies bouquet (I loooove these flowers) and a letter written by my two months old boy (yes, yes !).
To avoid being a bad wife, in addition to an unfit mother, I used Pinterest.
And, here's what I found :
1)
Make a footprint in salt dough
- 1 cup salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup warm water
Mix it all. If the dough is too sandy, add a little water. You can also add food coloring or spices (saffron, ...) to colour your dough.
Finally, let it dry during a few hours, then bake it at 200°F during 2 to 3 hours (depending on the thickness of your object), when it's hard, it's done :)
If I choose to do this one, and especially if Baby lets me do it, I'll post my tutorial soon.
2)
Make an "artist" frame
Well, with this one, it can't be a surprise, unless you regularly ask your husband to put his handprint on a sheet of paper... I've tried, he found it suspicious !
Nothing more simple :
- cardstock
- dark paint (black or colored) : Dad daub his hand with it and put the flat of his hand on the cardstock
- clear paint (white or colored) : try to do the same but with the hand of your baby... hoping it doesn't move too much, otherwise you must start all over again !
For painting, you can create a "Home Made" paint :
If I choose to do this one, and especially if Baby lets me do it, I'll post my tutorial soon.
