This is the photo Lisa sent me of an example of what her son might do. I'd love to see his final product and wonder what saying he used for his card.

"Your aim is true, Sure as Shooting, or I've got you covered." Lol, that's all I can come up with at the moment. What about you?

Saying Goodbye: I just love shooting targets! I've gone to a shooting range several times and had even saved all my targets and different shell casings, but I have no idea if they are in my hoard or gone. I suspect they are gone because I think I wouldn't have found by now.

The NRA Ranger target has an application on the front, is blank on the back and is a thin piece of paper. The Winchester has a target, each is different on the front and back and is of thicker paper.

What I Learned:

1. I do love guns and a shooting range, but do not miss them. Yes, I used to have a collection of guns and rifle, but they are gone now. I decided it just wasn't me. There are many reasons I don't have them, but basically I just couldn't be a peaceful person knowing I owned guns.

2. I do love all kinds of art! and if they include painting of guns, shooting targets and casings I'm in! And I love all the kitsch stuff too, like gun lighters and even the toy gun that shoots out a bang flag! As kids we grew up playing with toy guns, it wasn't an issue back then, like it is now. Life was so different back then, gun violence was around, but not like today.

3. What I like about his Father's day card is that his Dad can hang it up in his man cave! Every once in awhile I gave my Dad some of my art and he had each one in his man cave with my childhood cards and art, which was a huge section of the garage. It was so huge it took up at least two car spaces, not including the three vehicles they also parked inside it!

Thank you Lisa and son for taking the time to send me a photo and give me peek at what your son's Father's day card may look like. It's a MUST to check out Lisa's shop, JunqueINFUSTION for lovely curated photos and inspiration. She has such an eye for detail and has a little bit of everything. So if you are into journals, sewing, art, music and more, I bet there's something there for you!

I love her shop because everything in it looks so good, I just want it all! Okay, not all, but enough where I need to pick and choose and mull over til I have my top favorites. And I can't mull around too long either because her stuff sells quickly. I have ordered so many things from her already, so I guess I can call her shop my own little private hoard trap!

I have so many favorites in her shop right now, I can't list them all, so do take a look yourself. I always have my favorite beverage in hand when I visit her shop because I can lookie loo for quite some time. Her writing is as beautiful as her curated photos, read her profile here.

If you need some guns to go with your target for mixed media art, they are available here.

I had reached my goal of listing 185 items at three shops and then I got lucky and several things sold, so only one shop has reached that goal now. I wonder if listing daily helps sales, it seems too because we had a lot of June sales and it's usually very slow during June.

Click on the shop names to visit new hoard listed weekly: HoarderRehab with 184 items, The Destiny of Things- 182 items, VintageToGoEasy - 185 items and JunkDrawerAndMore - 184 items.

Maybe you'll find something and give it new life and a new home! Thanks for looking!
