On the inside I modge podged a paper that says "Love You Dad 5-22-11", so we will never forget.
This is the beautiful red maple we planted in memory of him:
My blog is all about inspiring others to look outside the box, try something different even if you fail, there is still a good story to be told! Go through your junk drawer, garage, old barn, local flea market or thrift store. Save some great items from the landfill by upcycling them!

In Memory of my Dad
Today is my dad's funeral. He passed away on May 22, 2011 at 1:37 AM and I was not allowed to be there, which has been very hard on me. So I have been working through the grieving process by creating. I started with a drawing of my dad, which is not perfect yet, definitely still a work in progress but I can see him in it.
When my sister and I were young, we were told by our grandpa that people come back as butterflies. So butterflies have always held a special place in our hearts. This is why I created my sister and I matching butterfly cuffs. Each cuff has a hand-painted recycled monarch butterfly and a gold butterfly. The monarch represents our dad and the gold butterfly represents our grandpa.
