Every year on my father-in-law's birthday we take a picture of him with the grandkids. I think this year we'll make a picture collage with all of the pictures. I'll leave a few empty for future pix. I know he'll love it and hang it proudly on his already full wall of family pictures.

What a cute idea... I put the glue and glitter on the inside of the clear ball, that way it won't fall off!
