My father-in-law is an amazing woodworker. It's always been a hobby of his... if you can't find him in the house he's probably in the garage working on a project (or he's at the golf course- the life of a retiree!). In fact, my whole Christmas tree is loaded with beautiful ornaments that he made from his scrollsaw. I had to buy a seperate Christmas tree for my kids to decorate because I love my Christmas tree with just his ornaments! I've never asked him to make me anything even though there have been many times I've wanted to. I always felt bad asking for something for myself. I tried to talk Randy into either asking him to make me something or apprenticing with his dad so he could learn how to do what his dad does! I think it's an amazing talent. Well, I finally got the courage up when I saw a picture in a magazine. I love organization and I've always wanted something at the door for the kids to be able to sit and take their shoes, coats, hats, scarfs, etc. off or on. I didn't think it looked too difficult so I asked- and he agreed! This is it's first public showing... can you tell how proud I am!!! There are times that I just stand there and stare at it. Thanks, Papa John!! I LOVE IT!! It means so much more to me because it comes from you! I know it took a lot of time and effort and I really appreciate it- I love you very much.
