Quotes By Kids Art

So my dad’s birthday was the 15th and I have been meaning to post this, but we have been out of our house (AGAIN) since last, last Thursday.  Yes we’re almost at two weeks…long story.  Anyways, my dad is one of those guys that just doesn’t really need anything and if there is something he really wants, he usually will just buy it.  I am always trying to think up good gifts for him and others like him (Big Daddy, Uncle Chris).  SOOOO, I made him this small 8×8 quote canvas.  Here’s the story….Harper calls my dad “Dandaddy” also known as Grandaddy and one day someone came to our door and I didn’t know who it was.  I picked Harper up and hauled it into one of the bedrooms to wait until whoever it was left (later found out it was a teenage boy selling magazines, better safe than sorry).  Harper got all excited and insisted that it was “Dandaddy”.  She kept SCREAMING over and over again with excitement “Dandaddy’s here, Dandaddy’s here”.  I told her in a whisper, “No Harper it’s not Grandaddy.”  Well her excitement went to despair and she began screaming and crying as loud as she could, “Dandaddy’s here.  Let him in.”  She would not quit, over and over and over again she screamed this phrase.  I tried telling her that if it was Grandaddy at the door we would have let him in, but that it just was not Grandaddy.  I’m sure that kid really thought we weren’t home.  Anyways, I decided to make a mixed media piece for my dad using that quote.  I also put the date it was given and Harper’s name and age of when she said this.  I just thought that was the perfect thing to remind him of that sweet story.  I think these would make great, unique holiday gifts.  Forget those cheesy quotes and take one straight from your child’s mouth.  Let me know if you need one as a gift for that special someone.
