Got 2 things done this weekend. Finished a Birthday Book I've been wanting to do for some time and a LO about my Dad's 50th birthday. Take a look...

This is the cover. View on right is a close-up of the cover.
These are the months inside, from January to August. I'm too lazy to post them all individually. :D
Not to be forgotten, September through December, because they wouldn't fit in the the scan above. :D
And finally, the back cover. I can't leave anything unfinished, even the back cover.

Journaling is hidden under the tag and reads:
My dad. There is no one like him and I’m pretty sure there never will be again. He’s an original, the genuine article, the real deal. Never ceases to be able to put a smile on my face or bring levity to my world. On the celebration of his half century on earth, I wanted to give him something special, something that you don’t get everyday. I gave him time. Time spent with me. I flew to California and spent 4 days there. It was the best thing I could have done. I was able to be there to spend his birthday with him, to spend time talking to him, sharing with him, getting to know him even better. Something between us just clicks. Like we have known each other forever not only just met a couple years ago. He knows how I think, what I want to say without even saying it. Time spent with my dad is just easy. No demands, no worries, no pretenses. Something else happened during my time there. The added bonus of spending time with my step-mom, Dee and my half siblings, Misty, David and Lori. Never did I know that in giving such a gift I would be getting so much in return. I love these people. They make me feel like I’m finally home. And for this I will always be grateful. Fifty is definitely fabulous from my perspective. I hope at that age I will have as many blessings in my life to celebrate. Here’s to you, Dad!
So those are my creations from this weekend. Maybe I will even get a chance to get one more done tonight. Jack is home sick with an ear infection and I didn't get much sleep last night because of it. He's still running a high fever so he can't go to school until it breaks which will hopefully be tomorrow because I really need to get back to work. They weren't too happy when I called in both yesterday and todayl. Oh freakin' well. My family comes first and they know that. Hopefully they will be over their hissy fit by tomorrow.
He definitely needs to go back to school as well. What a bust our introduction has been. He missed 2 days last week and this week he'll miss 2 days, if not more. I'm sure he's thinking we're nuts or something. Anyhoo, here's hoping he's healthy tomorrow. At $165/week this keeping him home is getting expensive. Gotta run, he's demanding pancakes right now. :D
