What to give him for his birthday this year on May 13, 2018?
More years than not, we bookmark our shared day with a father-daughter photo.

This year I'm further bookmarking our joint birthday with a handpainted bookmark. I love picturing my dad's going off to the library, as he often does, to get a new book to read, and then keeping his place in the book with this little bit of love from me.

Hi Dotty! Congratulations! Maybe you have told me before that you and your dad have joint birthdays, I'm sorry I forgot! I love the photo that was taken from you and your dad. I'm deeply impressed by how he lives his life.
And your bookmark is beautiful! What a wonderful way of adding little bits of love in his life!
Thank you, Sheila! 'Twas a sweet birthday (a day trip to Maine with two of my sisters and a nephew). Now it is the day after. And that is all I'll say about THAT.
Thanks for the happy-day wishes, Carol! Yes, totally awesome to share a bday with my dad.
Thanks so much, Simone. I do love to add little bits of love in my dad's life. He has a huge stack of my hand-painted postcards, several cards, a few paintings, and now a bookmark. Loved making the bookmark. I borrowed some veiling techniques from you : )
