Since Alberto doesn't read this blog, I can post allllllllllllll about his Father's Day gift(s)! I knew, kind of right away, what I was going to get for him. He bought me this wonderful necklace to remember Jeslyn by for Mother's Day. So, I felt like I wanted to get him something special to remember Jeslyn by for Father's Day. I knew I couldn't get him jewelry...it's just not practical for him. Out of nowhere, the idea came to me: I'll get him a custom engraved letter opener! It's a perfect gift for him because he loves to open the mail and it'll make it easier for him. Plus, he'll get to see Jeslyn's name every time he uses it. I honestly don't think I could have come up with a more practical gift to memorialize our sweet girl. So, I ordered it for him from Things Remembered.
Now that I had a gift for him from me, I felt like I needed to get a gift for him from Isla. Something different, something we haven't done before. A friend of mine mentioned going to a paint/ceramic studio to make a gift for her husband, and I liked the idea. But, I didn't know what we'd make for Alberto since he doesn't really drink coffee. My friend mentioned they have all kinds of different things (beer mugs, plates, picture frames, etc.), so I thought I'd give it a try. What the hell, right? So, today Isla and I went to Color Me Mine and we made daddy a great mug! He can drink beer in it...he can drink water or juice in it, too. It's the perfect sized cup!
Below are a few photos of our studio time and of the custom letter opener I bought for Alberto ;-)
