When Dad Does Something....
When you ask my dad for a favor, he always helps. If it's something crafty, we goes above and beyond. 
I bought our card box for our wedding a while ago and asked my dad if he'd paint it for me to look like a treasure chest. I told him it doesn't have to be fancy, I can get him paint and whatever he needs, just let me know. I gave the box to him on Mother's Day when I was at their house. I was there yesterday to take my mom out and I saw the box...
He bought veneer and covered most of the box with it, then attached lighter strips on the edges. He used a router to cut the slot for the cards, and said all he needs is to do something for the "iron bands." He said he may also lightly stain it to look aged.
I almost wept at how awesome it looks. He has done an amazing job, and has gone so far beyond what we expected!
(The pictured white box is extremely similar to the one I gave him, except ours didn't have the bow. It was just plain white.)
