Manly Father's Day Table for 2015

Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you well and happy!!

Know many of you are probably enjoying

summer time fun with your kiddos. I used

to love those times............course, my

kiddos are all grown up now, but I have

very fond memories of those days.

I had another post prepared for today,

 but since I am in the process of mentally

 planning out our Father's Day dinner and

 table,  I thought some of you might be

 doing that too, and that maybe I would 

share my tablescape from last year, as it

might be a good fit for the Dad at your

 house as well.

I prepared this table for my hubby and

son who is a relatively new Dad of just

 3 yrs., course last yr. it was only 2 years.

 It was hard to come up

with something that fit both

of our guys,  but happened

to see a sign online some-

where That said some "Super

Hero's" don't wear capes,

they are just called Dad,

so got the idea to add a bit

 to it, and used a font that

look like Carpentry.

Since both our guys are handy 
thought this was fitting, and the idea

for the table was born, so made
the sign first.............made it red
and tan cause I knew these napkins
had a manly look, sort of like a flannel
shirt, so I could use those and my

 tan tablecloth.
 Hubby really liked the sign!!

Then I decided to raid the garage to

see what I could find.

Found the tool box first, but never 

thought to look inside until I was

 actually putting the centerpiece 

together, and wow, what a nice 

surprise, everything in it went so 

well.  So just took that tray out

and added it to the table.

After finding the tool box.....
 I just started gathering up the tools
 or hardware that had red, blue, or
 black and that were
clean looking...........

I purchased the needle nose pliers
 and the box cutters at walmart
 (thought that would be okay since 
we didn't have any TSA agents 
coming for dinner. lol)
and added them to my white corelle

ware plates to complete the theme

 and figured they would be favors

 for the guys afterwards. They were 

very inexpensive, but thought 
they made a great addition. 

Looked at 3 different stores to find
 Dad's Root beer, but to No avail, so
thought Lord what can I do??  and the 
thought came to just make my own
sign and put it on red hefty cups. So
 looked up a pic of the label for 
Dad's Root beer 
and made it like that.....

I believe the Lord loves when we
celebrate, cause over the years
he has given me so many ideas
and has just made it easy to find
things I need, at a great price 
and I remember years back when
 we were a very small church, two
 of my friends and I used to do the
 table decorations when we had
 fellowship dinners, and we would 
 all bring our decorations from home, 
and we were always able to find
 what we needed to go with it, and
 were always amazed how everything
just fit together so perfectly and 
would come out so nicely...........
We never doubted that God had
his hand in that!!

Was going to look for candy of some
 kind, and just happened to pass a 
display with packages of these small
 Kit Kat bars in Wally world, and
 thought these would be perfect, and
 as perfect as they were, they melted,
 as we started noticing some problems
 with our Air conditioning just about
 the time we sat down for din din.
So no one got to eat them but me,
that was how I discovered the
 melting. Oh well, can't have every
thing!!  lol

My Dad's Sign Says:

DAD
Since 1977 (for hubby)
and 2013 (for Scott)
Only put it on their cup, and
just used clear packaging tape,
since it just seemed fitting.
You know like Duct tape, the
handy man's secret weapon!!  lol

This is from the opposite end of 

the table, where the window is,

you can see in the next picture.

This is from the other end 

which faces the living room.

Got the blue candles at 

Wally World too,

for a buck a piece........

An Overview

With posterized affect.  Had to do at
least one affect, ya know!!

**************************

Well, hope some one out there might glean

 a few ideas to make your Father's Day a

 fun celebration.  Sometimes guy tables

can be a bit harder to come up with.....

Thanks so much for dropping by, and

if you get some ideas that are helpful

would love to know about it.

Love, Hugs and

Father's Day Preparation Blessings,

Nellie
