Happy Father's Day - Recycled Wrapping

For as long as I can remember, the kids have been wrapping Paul's presents in newspaper. The sports section (read, of course) and comics are their favorites.  Welcome to our Sunday morning wrap session and photo shoot in Kara's room.  We whipped together a few fun embellishments for him. Publix flyer recycled bow and a sports page flower (they are all the rage).
He loved his grill themed gifts.  Even better, he noticed the little craft details.  He's getting better!  We love him for that.  Here they are still in their pj's.  I may get in trouble for posting this one!  Love you, sweetie. You are the best father these two could ask for. 
 I hope that each of you has a Dad or father figure that you will celebrate or remember today.  Until next time...xoxo.

    Ha! I do the same thing and some folks just don't get it. I figure why spend so much money on wrapping paper when there is paper all around us that can be used! Happy day to all! Tammy

    Vicki, the gift looks wonderful in newspaper, and so does flower and bows- and your kids looks so sweet- and happy together with their father.
    Happy fathers day--we had ouers 5/6...

    I love that you used what you had! Using newspaper is a great idea. I used comics one year for Christmas and the kids loved it. And I used papersacks and stamped on them. I love your bows!
    Great memories for your family. Happy Father's Day to your hubby! :)
    Hugs,
    Sonya
