Furballz

My daughter has been asking for a cat for over a year now. Ive never been a fan, we made our choice a long time ago by bringing home Dexter our boston frenchie. My wife does not agree, she thinks our home is in desperate need of a new furball. 
This weeks decal is a friendly reminder of one of the many joys of having a cat.
It totally backfired, as I was installing the decal my daughter screamed that we were getting a new cat. We will see how this turns out.

As always this decal is available for sale in the storefront.

ToastBusters!

Recently at Halloween we watched Ghostbusters. I knew that there were a couple of "scary" parts and distracted her but she watched it anyways. She loved it! So when I put this decal up she got it right away, she looked at it for a second and said... "what are they... toastbusters?" and laughed like she made the joke.

The Force is strong with this one!

I've decided that this week will be Star Wars week for Charlotte. I've been filling her head with all kinds of stories about magical worlds where people can move things with their minds and ignore the droids that they really were looking for. She will be 5 in April and I cant wait any longer, Star Wars must be seen! But first we need to craft...

While running "Daddy" errands today we found this quaint little mom and pop craft store called Mikhail's (I don't think they have much of an online presence or I would link them here to help out.) And we decided to use Perler beads. Easy enough, Ive seen lots of Pinterest posts on cool designs so it should be hard to find some Star Wars appropriate. 


 Mind Blown!

 Papa cheaped out.... There were tons of beads separated in individual colors but I bought a bucket of 4000 mixed beads for $20. It's a good things her hands are so small or this would've taken forever. Off topic, what are the child labor laws in Canada?

4000 beads + Banana for scale.

We both decided on R2D2

Pre heated droid



 Now all that's left is to watch the movie. Can't wait!!

Thats No Balloon!

http://decaldad.blogspot.ca/p/blog-page.html#!/Thats-No-Balloon/p/44017382/category=0
I think I was about 5 when I saw Star Wars for the first time and I was hooked.  I remember getting a Rancor for Christmas the year Return of the Jedi came out which was 1983. When we had my daughter I promised that I would be one of the "cool" dads but where do you start. On one hand, I don't want to ruin anything for her by showing it too early but on the other, I don't want her to be the only person at school who doesn't know who Chewbacca is.
I remember watching a YouTube video awhile ago about a father showing his kids Star wars for the first time and how priceless the look on their faces were when Darth Vader's identity was revealed. Although I must have been four years old at the time, I distinctly remember seeing ESB on the big screen and being blown away at the reveal. I would be pretty upset if we watched it and she didnt even know what was going on.

Anyways, that was the inspiration for this weeks fridge decal. A long time ago, In a galaxy far, far away it was a simpler time. Three young explorers took a school trip to the Alderaan Zoo to visit everything it had to offer but wait what's that?!? Someone lost their balloon..... That's No Balloon!


The scribblings of a madman!


 So happy with this one. I got to a point where I couldn't do anymore and past it off to a professional.  This was a collaboration with Reddit u/SeaLurker.

My new favorite decal!! My daughter is sleeping right now and I don't usually do a new decal until Sunday but i was too excited to wait. She is going to freak out tomorrow morning. 

YOU SHALL NOT SNACK!!!

This is an older decal I made when my wife and I were on a diet. It was a friendly reminder to stick with it every time we entered the kitchen.
