This is my absolute favorite pic of Mason. I took this when he was just a few days old lying in his daddy's hand. I was able to just capture the slightest hint of drool escaping those precious baby lips! The poem is so incredibly fitting. I wish I knew who the author was. ************************ The poem reads: I came into the world, and reached for your strong hands.
My tiny fingers knew you, before I could understand.
Your hands proudly held me, and smoothed my newborn hair.
They'll grow to love to tickle, and toss me in the air.
Your hands are the teachers, that will catch and throw a ball;
that will steady my two-wheeler, and soften each new fall.
Your hands are the guideposts, that'll set and keep the rules;
offer good advice and wisdom, and cheer hard work in school.
Your hands will be my anchor, as I leave my childhood home.
You'll shake my hand and pat my back, as I live life on my own.
One day I'll have a child, and come to understand,
the power of the love, held in my daddy's hands.

The poem was printed onto transparency, I heat embossed all the stamping to make it stand out more. I made the matching buttons by cutting out PP and putting rub-ons on them, then gluing to the clear buttons. The matching 'circles' on the sides of the LO are chipboard circles with PP glued to them. I used teeensy tiny beads from Michael's and attached them to the chipboard flourishes using Diamond glaze. I also attached the rope (JoAnn's) using Diamond glaze as well. BTW, I did re-attach my apostrophe on the word 'Daddy's' It fell off during the painstaking, frustrating photography process! LOL!
Thank you so much for popping by gallery and looking!
