happy monday lovelies!  did you have a good weekend? we had some of our wonderful friends come in town friday and saturday.  we had dinner and played games (scategories anyone?) here on friday.  saturday we squeezed in some thrifting before we headed up the mountains to highlands where we shopped around and drank hot chocolate, all before we saw the scenery at sunset rock and headed back home for cozy chili.  we had so much fun!

is anyone else’s dad really hard to shop for?  i seem to just get stu.mp.ed. every year when it comes to gift ideas for dad.  especially when you like to make your gifts- what can you make for your dad?  i hope some of these gift ideas will help you overcome the daddy-difficulty.  what are you getting your dad or dad-in-law this year?  do you have any ideas for what to make them? please share in the comments- i’m desperate!
