It was Jimmy's birthday in January and the weekend before his birthday was the annual ski trip with all the boys. This presented the perfect opportunity to do something extra special. Something that I have been thinking about for awhile as Jimmy has uttered a desire for this change on more than one occasion. The timing was perfect as I had 2 whole days to execute the plan.
The other aspect about this plan that made my eyes light up was that it included a passion of mine. A passion that drew me out to Calgary all those years ago. Something that I dearly miss when I moved into the software industry.
And so as those two worlds met - my passion for design and my love of giving a really fun gift to someone I really care about, the idea was born. The design started to take shape in my mind. The to do list started to form.
And here is the final result:
Thanks to C's help, we got the dresser together, Totem's popcorn eaten, the mirror hung and the TV hooked up.
What do you think?
(p.s. Jimmy loved it! It wasn't a lame present at all!!)
