father's day gift

On the first Sunday in September we celebrate Father's Day here in Australia.

A little home made gift always wins dad's heart so this year we made one out of this.

This little wooden box was made by my dad when he was a small boy and given to his father.

My grandfather had it on his desk and used it to hold paper clips etc. in it. 

My aunt gave it to me a few years ago and at times we have used it for sorting or holding nature displays.

It has six compartments which makes it perfect for six kids.

I added a photo of each child.

 I had thought of adding a little something in each compartment that told a story of our children and their dad,  golf, fishing, soccer, gardening, building etc. but it didn't quite look right and I couldn't find all the stuff I needed.

Then I came across some chipboard letters in my cupboard, but what to write that only took up six spaces?

no. 1 DAD

I just put some hot glue in the middle of each compartment and stuck on the letter.

He was thrilled!

Happy Fathers Day VCH you're our number 1!
