I love the fact he's always there for us. He's not the most talkative person, but he always comes to help when needed.
Posted by: arjanne | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:37 AM
I love that my dad is resilient, strong, resourceful and loving! Thanks!
Posted by: Kelly Massman | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:38 AM
I love that my Dad is like a Dad to so many of our friends and family. It is really good to see other people look up to him like I do.
Thank you for the chance to win! I would love to have this collection
Posted by: Yasmin | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:42 AM
I love that my dad is such a hard worker and has always provided for our family. I'm proud to have married someone just like him! Thanks for the chance to win, I'm due with a baby boy the end of July so this would be perfect :)!
Posted by: Abby Huffer | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:44 AM
Love Chap! My dad is pretty much the greatest guy ever! He would do anything for me or my family or a complete stranger!
Posted by: Michelle Price | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:46 AM
Love this collection! My dad is great - he taught me to not be afraid to speak my mind & stand up for my opinions !
Thanks for the chance to win :-)
Posted by: Carla I. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:49 AM
Wow! Chap is a great guys line and one of my favorites too. One of my favorite things about my Dad is that even though I'm a middle aged Mom now, he is still always watching out for me. Even when I don't know it. It's nice to know that I can always depend on him.
Posted by: Jena Baker | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:50 AM
Fabulous projects Pam!!!
My dad is the best dad there is! We have the same sense of humor, love the same tv series (we're always trading dvd's :)) and we both love to read.
Posted by: Monique Liedtke | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:52 AM
I lost my dad 4 years ago and think of him every single day, he instilled such good values in us but one thing that stands out is how honest he was about everything and wanted my siblings and I to be just that too!!! Thanks for the chance to win this collection.
Posted by: Kailash N | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:53 AM
Give me a word, any word, and my Dad will sing a song with that word in the lyrics. Sure it might be out of tune, but his eyes light up and his smile is bright. He has the sunniest personality I have ever met!
Posted by: Patchi | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:53 AM
I love my dad's work ethic and perseverance. He came to this country to attend grad school, ended up staying and building a company that had 100+ employees when he retired.
Posted by: Miriam Prantner | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:15 AM
I love my Dad's sense of humor:) He can always make you laugh even when he is not trying;)
Posted by: Jamie Greene | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:23 AM
My Dad was always such a great family guy and still is. His family meant the most to him and it always showed growing up. Never did I not see him always trying hard to provide for his family. So much to appreciate.

I love the way my Dad loved my Mom. It was an example to all of us in how to treat people and how to treat our own families when we had them.
Posted by: KellyO | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:34 AM
I love seeing my Dad change into someone I really admire. He has blossomed from someone reserved and detached into a more connected, emotional, endearing man.
Posted by: Julie Mitchell | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:43 AM
I love the good example my dad was for all of us-and since I lost him suddenly last month, I wish I had just one more chance to tell him how much I loved him.
Posted by: Margie Visnick | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:48 AM
My dad taught me not to be afraid to dream big.
Posted by: Ashley N Newell | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:51 AM
GROWING up I KNEW my dad was AWESOME!! He was able to be LOVING yet demanded respect and taught good manners and work ethic throught our years growing up!!

Posted by: Larissa Heskett =) | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:57 AM
When I was little, my dad was the smartest man in the world :) And that's how I still like to see him, even though I know the truth ;)
Posted by: tammy K | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:01 AM
I love my dad's sense of humour !
Posted by: Laure | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:02 AM
I love my dad because he will always be there for me no matter what it is that I need. He has this pure unconditional love that has no expectations. He is a great man!!
Posted by: Lisa S. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:22 AM
I loved observing his relationship with his granddaughter. Unfortunately, he was only able to enjoy one of his grandchildren.
Posted by: JillT | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:29 AM
My dad has already be a rock....dependable and steady. And he tells me that even though I am in my 50's I will always be his little girl. I would sooo love to win that Chaps collection to use on pages with all the men/boys in my life....thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Sandi Pressley | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:32 AM
My dad was steady and unwavering in his beliefs. Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Judy S. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:43 AM
I will be always a little girl for my dad and I know that I can always rely on him.
Posted by: kazoulis | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 09:51 AM
My dad was a friend to all and loved us for who we were.
Posted by: Brenda B | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 10:08 AM
One of my favorite things about my dad is that we share the same taste in books. We like to read the same book at the same time so we can talk about it together!
Posted by: Mary M. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 10:30 AM
Unfortunately, my dad has passed away, but that brings a new perspective. But now I know that my favorite thing is that, deep down, I knew that he always had my back. At the time, I think I took that for granted. And now its so much fun to see how his traits show up in my kids!
Posted by: julie e | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 10:46 AM
I love, love, love this collection!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Jennifer J | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 10:47 AM
I love how much my dad lives good food! We always bond over a fabulous meal :) He is the only one in my family who is a really adventurous eater like me! I also share his love of travel! We always have a wonderful time exploring together!
Posted by: Brenna | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:08 AM
I love that my dad has always cared for us - my mom and sisters, and now his seven grand kids too. I love that he was the first man in my life, that he lived in a house full of women, but he showed us what we should want in a man. I love that he doesn't have a sweet tooth, except for chocolate kisses! I love that my dad moved thousands of miles from his homeland to make a home and future for his family. Just a few reasons I love my dad!!
Posted by: Cynthia B. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:17 AM
What I love is that despite being married with children and almost 30, I am still his little girl.
Posted by: nubia | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:27 AM
I was raised by a single mother and never had a man around till I got a little older. SO...I give my mother a mothers day and fathers day gift every year since I was young. I mean after all she has always wore the shoes of both!
Posted by: scrappyrae10 | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:37 AM
I have the best dad on the planet! He is soo loving, generous, and supportive!
Posted by: janet ball | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:48 AM
my dad always prided himself in providing for us, grateful for that :)
Posted by: ruth | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I love about my dad how deep he loves us and how he always help us even if whe don't ask, he just know and don't care about anything else.
Posted by: eva | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:55 AM
My Daddy gives the best hugs ever!!!
Posted by: Jingle | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 11:56 AM
I love my dad's excellent car advice. "Dad, my breaks sound weird." "Just turn up the volume on the CD player." :) No, but seriously, he is very handy. He fixed an exhaust fan for me and my husband!
Posted by: Laurie | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:14 PM
My dad passed away 30 years ago when I was 15. But my favorite memory of him was gardening with him every summer. He was an avid gardener and passed his love of it on to me!
Posted by: Janet | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:18 PM
I have the best Dad ever. He finds something laying around and asks "Do you want to use this on a layout?"
Posted by: katie smith | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:19 PM
What I love the most about my dad is his love for my mom and the way he is devoted to her and his family!
Posted by: rhonda nickol | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:22 PM
I love that even if my Dad doesn't know the answer to a question he answers it like he does. I still think he is the smartest man in the world.
Posted by: Kelsey Cl. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:44 PM
My dad died when i was 12 but I remember sitting in the front seat with him reading maps as we drove from NJ to Michigan each summer. To this day I have to read maps, no GPS for me!
Posted by: Jean Marmo | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 12:55 PM
What I love about my dad is that he always believes in me and thinks I will make whatever I plan to do. :)
Posted by: Kathleen | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 01:05 PM
Since my dad has passed away, I'll say that my husband is the best dad to our kids. There is no job too small or too big that he won't tackle for them.
Posted by: Meghan | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 01:57 PM
I love that my dad is there for us!
Posted by: Melissa H. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 01:59 PM
My dad is my hero, period.
Posted by: chel | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 02:21 PM
the best thing about my dad.... wow... that is hard... I lost my mom at 18 over 25 years ago but my dad has always tried to make up for it. He is so suportive and offers suggestions and i know he is always there for me no matter what! Oh... i have to go call him now and let him know how much i love and appreciate him <3
Posted by: kimberly | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 02:44 PM
My partner is the best Dad ever. He loves his little girl so so so much and does everything and anything for her. Even when times were tough he made sure she had everything she needed.
Posted by: Nicole McNamara | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 02:47 PM
my dad was such a great cook, always experimenting. he did most of the cooking for our family growing up. wish he was still here.
thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: CarolM | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 03:14 PM
My Dad was always really involved in our sports. He refereed soccer for us on a regular basis. Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Sarah Webb | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 03:23 PM
I love my Dad's worth ethic as well as his love for his family. He is a true pillar for our family. I also LOVE the way he and I share inside jokes while no one around us even know we are goofing around! Hee!Hee! I cringe when I think of the day that he won't be there. That's why I try to enjoy the time I have with him as much as I can.
Posted by: Aurelie | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 03:36 PM
My dad was not in my life, but my grandpa and uncles took an active role. For that I am grateful!
Posted by: Bethany Becker | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 03:42 PM
I love how modest my dad is. We nicknamed him the unsung hero, because the engineering place he works at wouldn't survive without him, but he still underestimates his own abilities.
Posted by: Christina | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 03:54 PM
He is a genuinely kind person. To everyone. I really admire that.
Posted by: Amanda Coleman | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 04:00 PM
My dad has rediscovered his inner child with my son and it's a lot of fun to watch them interact together.
Posted by: jengd | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 04:08 PM
I love how my dad alway sings made up songs while cooking! :-)
Posted by: Silje | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 04:31 PM
My dad always supported me in whatever I attempted to do in my life.
Posted by: Sue D | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 05:53 PM
No matter what our differences are, my Dad will always be there for me. He taught that standing up for what you believe in is important (even if it's not what he believes in).
Posted by: Megan Smith | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 05:54 PM
Picking one thing that I love about my dad is pretty much impossible because there are so many things! But my favorite thing is when my birthday lands on father's day (last year) and we get to combine celebrations!
Posted by: Gayle P | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:04 PM
I love that I have ALWAYS been close to my dad. In fact we go walking together every morning and always have LOTS to talk about!!! our walks are our thing!!
Posted by: Wendi R | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:06 PM
My father is a rather strange person... He is quiet and his humor is dry and sarcastic. But I love his generosity. He measures no efforts to see his kids happy. And also, he is the most honest person I know. It's also great to see how much he loves to be around his family, specially his grandkids. He is an amazing guy!
Posted by: Marina Haddad | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:12 PM
Dads always watch out for their little girls no matter how big those little girls get!
Posted by: Alison M | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:19 PM
My Dad is strong and weak, funny and dumb.
Hard working, real and honest.
Yes he even scrapbooks ( in a manly way)
Posted by: kelly | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:21 PM
Super fun projects shared today! LOVE:) I love my Heavenly Father--His love is so amazing! <3
I also love how my "real" dad always said I was his "favorite daughter"--I was his only daughter...but I believed I was his favorite for a LONG time! <3
THANKS for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com
Posted by: Sav O'G | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:26 PM
I love that even if we didn't or don't always see eye to eye, there is never a doubt in my mind that my dad will be there for me and have my back. I love my dad. His health is declining and I know that time with him is special. We just moved back to my home state and I finally get to spend that time with him and cherish our relationship.
Posted by: Lisa P | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:55 PM
I love my dad so much, and love how he is always there for me, whenever and for whatever I need!! :)
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Posted by: Jenny Evans | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 06:56 PM
I love my dad! The best thing about him is how sweet he is to all of us, even when we are not patient with him or with each other!
Posted by: Maeghan M. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:04 PM
My dad is so smart, loving, supportive... so many wonderful qualities. I am so thankful for him! He has inspired me for my whole life!
Posted by: Natalie (QSOgirl) | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:05 PM
he always has good advice
Posted by: laura stewart | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:32 PM
My hubby is a great dad! He is very lovely, very active in our children's life and very responsible. Even he is very supportive with me and my scrapbook love and will love to make some pages of him with this fab collection :D ....
Posted by: Nelmarie | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 07:49 PM
my late father was a man with few words..few but with wisdom.
Posted by: heaney | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:16 PM
I love that my dad is super handy with fixing things!
Posted by: Shirley K. | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:22 PM
I love how my dad loves being Grandpa to my boys! It is so fun to watch him play with them.
Posted by: Melanie C | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 08:31 PM
My dad is definitely the most generous man I know! He's currently serving his country in Afghanistan!
Posted by: Mollie | Monday, June 11, 2012 at 10:25 PM
I love that my dad spares no effort or expense on us (his children). He's always there whenever we need him. From our younger days, he fetches us to and from school every day even if it means he has to miss his lunch. And when we got older and started working, he'd call us and check if we need a ride back home especially when we need to work late. Our taste buds are spoilt by my dad because he's always bringing us to dine at restaurants on weekends and special occasions. Even till this day, he's recently retired but he still worries if we have enough to spend and tries hard to be self sufficient and independent. He's the best father and I love and appreciate him so much.
Posted by: Jeannie L | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 01:24 AM
My Dad always encouraged me to dream big! No greater gift than that!
Thanks for the chance to win this fun line.
Posted by: Sharon Jaeger | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 06:08 AM
My dad is a great example of living out his faith in God.
Posted by: Cathy | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 06:13 AM
I love the fact that my dad is the wisest person I know and I can always go to him with any question on any topic or for advice on anything and he always gives the right answer. I love the fact that he can still bring me to tears just by speaking to me and how he still makes me feel like his special little girl. I love knowing that he loves me unconditionally and that he is always there for me and will do anything for me. Most of all though I love his love for God and his motto that you have to 'let live to live'.
Posted by: Bella Visser | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 06:21 AM
My dad lives 1000 miles from us, but he's always trying to help me out. He comes to visit at least once a year, and he maked the best tomato jelly! I know, sounds gross...but it's the sweetest stuff ever:)
Posted by: Margy Eastman | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 07:25 AM
My dad passed away 17 yrs ago. It tickled me how much he loved his grandchildren. My son has a great dad. He came into a ready made family and I laugh at all the traits our son has picked up from him.
Posted by: Sharon | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 07:44 AM
My dad is my biggest fan. Whatever I am doing, I know he will be the loudest in the stands (whether figurative or literal), raising the #1 finger high and cheering. I'm a very lucky girl.
Posted by: Court's Crafts | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 09:20 AM
I love my dad's work ethic and his quiet demeanor.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Maribel | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 09:35 AM
My dad is an awesome man that loves his family and has sacrificed so much for all of us!
Posted by: Melinda Wilson | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 09:43 AM
My dad taught me how to be financially sound. He rarely bought anything on credit and I'm the same way. He also managed to teach me that saving for family trips and making memories was far better than saving for frivolous material things. I truly believe that and try to do the same with my family! He's pretty terrific!
Posted by: Steffanie S | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 11:02 AM
My dad passed 17yrs ago. I loved how generous he was. Always made time for his family. With me being a young single mom of 4 he was around pretty often helping with the kids and things around the house.
Posted by: conniemelancon | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 11:43 AM
My dad and I are so much alike it's ridiculous, but unlike me, he knows how to fix pretty much anything -- which comes in dang handy when you have a kitchen in need of a redo!
Posted by: Angela H. | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 12:24 PM

my father has supported me through my school and I am debt free!
Posted by: Mandy Szeto | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 01:51 PM
I love that my dad is so smart and funny even when not speaking so much.
Posted by: Carolinecdm | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 02:15 PM
My dad has always been so loving and supportive of me!
Posted by: Carmen | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 02:52 PM
I love that my dad loves playing with the boys and their smiles make him smile.
Posted by: tammy g | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 03:25 PM
No matter what, HE will always love me and HE has proven it over and over again!!!
Posted by: juliana | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 04:04 PM
My Dad is very human and easily admit this.
My Dad is way smarter now that I am a Mom.
(was not so smart when I was a teen)
My Dad is like a walking encyclopidia and
never admits when he is wrong.
(which is not very often)
My Dad is honest, true and reliable.
I want to grow up just like him !!!!
Posted by: elly | Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at 06:29 PM
Sadly, my Dad is gone now, however, I remember his sense of humor and miss it and him so much!

I love that my dad is just one big kid!! And that he is my golf buddy :)
Posted by: Aubrey Hulka | Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 01:59 AM
What I love about my Dad the best is his generosity. Since I divorced a few years ago after 20 years of marriage, he treats me again like he did before I was married. Like I'm his little girl that he needs to watch out for. It's so sweet!
Posted by: Lynda | Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 06:26 AM
