my favorite thing about today #34….and a WINNER!

My favorite thing about today
(was actually something that happened yesterday)…
My daddy went to Michael’s craft store because I had mentioned about a month ago that I was on the hunt for a little mailbox with a flag to put love notes in (back and forth between Craig and myself).  Anyway, my dad is definitely not the kind of guy who goes into craft stores.  But he went with the sole purpose of finding me a mailbox.  He didn’t know I had already found one, and ended up getting me this little Valentine’s Day themed one.  I think I’ll probably decoupage it after Valentine’s Day so I can use it year round.  It’s way better quality than the crappy one I bought.  The door on mine doesn’t stay shut and the flag doesn’t stay up.  boo!  He also got me a stack of scrap paper for card making because he knows how I love it, and he got me these little note cards with quirky little sayings on them. It made me super happy that he thought of me.  I’ve  got a pretty great dad.

AND….now for a winner….

There were 74 total entries, so….

  1. Yay congrats Melanie!

  2. how cute is your dad??? or the idea of having a mailbox for you and Craig? I re-watched “Little Women” last night after finding the beautiful edition book last week in a used book store… and i always loved the bit where Laurie brings the girls a mailbox in the shape of a house where they exchange letters and fruit. i thought, what a charming idea and here you are doing it with your husband. CUTENESS!!!!

    and those notecards are fabulous!!!

    seriously, you have the best dad!

    CONGRATS to you Melanie and great choice of scarf.

  3. What an incredibly sweet dad! My heart just melted… and I may want to steal your love note mailbox idea. I saw a [cheapy] one at Target the other day. i still can’t get over your dad… too cute!

    Also, I went to Michael’s in search of the mailbox you showed in your little cookbook nook, but they didn’t have any, so I’m going to search again and see if I can find one like your dad got.
