DABBY's Day

 Photo Card (above) & Bookmark (below)




Gimme a "D"!

With Daddy's Day on it's way, O and I have been brainstorming clever card-making idea's. I have seen some photography sites use letter cards to spell out names/phrases. We decided this route would work well for a Fathers Day card.

You might notice we have some spelling issues. DABBY is O's homemade nickname for her Dad. She can say Daddy, but doesn't! We thought this would be more personal if we stuck to a first name basis;)

By the second "B" shot, O had decided this was not a fun activity, hence my hand holding the slate! It is quite a challenge to get an 18 month old to hold the slate with the interesting letter facing outwards! We were only able to complete the "Y" when she was sidetracked with her newest skill; sucking both thumbs at once!
Appropriately, she grabbed Baby for one of the "B"'s!

Me thinks Dabby will appreciate a tiny version of these pictures on a bookmark.
