My Father's Day Gift for the Husband

Lately, I have been bombarded with emails regarding Father's Day in my inbox. PR pitches from companies hoping to spread the word about THE most perfect Fathers Day gifts.

Heh. Delete all without even reading is my tactic.

You see. This year I totally have THE best Father's Day gift evah! My husband and son have been working on our remodel since March and I have been documenting the very slow but loving progress being made by my two special fellas. I knew that I wanted to do something special with the photos.

I started at picnik and made a collage. Which is as simple as uploading photos and dragging them into your chosen collage pattern. I saved the collage to my hard drive. I then uploaded my collage to winkflash (who, by far, have some of the lowest prices online and the quality is super) and decided I wanted the collage to be printed on stretched canvas for a more professional look.

The final product:

Globe sticker is covering my house & the tiara is covering my gray hair.

I am very happy with the final product (which I paid for myself - these companies have no idea Im blogging about them). The collage will hang in our newly remodeled mud room and it will be a constant reminder of the hard work that has been poured into our loving home.

Winkflash is currently running a sale on posters. 40% off of poster prints. Use the code 40POSTERS. Make a picnik collage and suprise your husband/father/grandfather/father-in-law.

"The home of homestyle"

UPDATED: Random.org pulled out number 34. Congrats to Tracey, the winner of the Bob Evans gift card.


My in-laws took me took my very first Bob Evans years ago. Since then I have been purchasing their breakfast sausage links and it's a taste that my children will grow up knowing. Try and give my kids a generic breakfast sausage and they'll complain that it doesn't taste like Bob Evans moms.

"The home of homestyle" Bob Evans. Yum. My in-laws still occasionally treat us to breakfast and in this day and age I can log onto their website.

I can figure out the nutritional value of my food before dinning, which I love now that I am actively working out each morning and hate empty calories. Their kid's menu, check it out, everything that a child would eat is listed in a chart before you broken down with nutritional values and ingredients. The website even has a free recipe section that includes 20 recipes for under 2 bucks. I've made stuffed peppers before but never Inside Out Stuffed Peppers for under 2 bucks. My kids are loving the kid's page where they all signed up for the birthday club and even printed out some fun games.

I have no problem promoting something that I really like. And I like me some Bob Evans breakfast sausage. Heh.

Here's your chance to try it out. I have one FIFTY DOLLAR gift certificate to feed your family some homestyle yumminess. I'm sure you'll love. One comment/entry per person. Unless.... you Tweet about the giveaway for your second entry. Are you my FaceBook friend... add me or let me know you already are for another entry. In total you have three entries to win. Good luck friends!!!
