Today is a super great idea that I came up with today as I was racking my brain what to get for my son's birthday. He is such a great kid (not quite a kid anymore at 24 yrs.). He really has everything he needs and has very little wants. Then it dawned on me!!! For his birthday card I would create his own wooly willy (I think in the video I called it Wooly Bully). He was cursed with a receding hairline early so he always looked older than he was. Recently he shaved his head to raise money for cancer. That day he came over and surprised me with his newly shaved head. I am so glad that I took a picture of his big cue ball head because as I was running errands I thought... Wow I'm gonna give him something he hasn't had in over a decade!!! HAIR! So I ran home and I tore one of my wooly willy, making sure not to spill the magnetic shavings. And yes, I did have them on hand, our game room has lots of nostalgic stuff including those. LOL . I wrote on the back "Happy Birthday, To a son who has everything...well almost.So in celebration of my Blog-Aversary, Matt's Birthday and Mother's Day we are giving away one last SCRAP N EASEL!!!! WOO HOOO!!!! All You have to do is leave a comment on today's post with your email! That easy! Thanks for making this a great year!

ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest idea! What kid (any age) wouldn't love to have this?! Too much........thanks. I know I'll have to try it. Maybe for my husband for his birthday (lol).
ReplyDeleteWow Are you sure your son and my brother are not related. He did the same thing when he was mid 20's and for over 24 years has not allowed it to grow back. Plus, they look alike, not just the great scalp.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have great goodies are up for grabs. The Scrap 'n Tote is a great addition to anyone's addiction (perhaps mine)

ReplyDeleteChristie, that is just too funny. I would never have thought to do something like that. My son sometimes shaves his head bald, so I'll have to see if I have a picture of him already, or maybe try to catch him when he's just shaved it, and maybe make one for him for Father's day maybe. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea. I'm going to start looking to see if I can find one of those. My son is always growing a beard and then shaving it off. Thanks for sharing.

great for his birthday too. Thanks for sharing.
mznursey@sbcglobal.net
that is brilliant. strange how something can inspire a card.
ReplyDeleteAlso the name of your 'toy' is different in UK it would have other connotations.
I forget what we calledthem probably something mundane like magnetic faces.
also well done to your son for razing his hair to raise money.
AS a survivor I really appreciate it.
The men in our family have the same problem. I love your idea for the card. It must be fun being in your family.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...brilliant idea! And I'm sure he'll be totally tickled! Thanks for sharing the idea...gonna use it for my Dad who is also balding! lol!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea Christie I think I might do something like this for my Brother-in-law
