Papa's Creativity

In This Post, I Would Like To Introduce You To A Wonderful & Creative Man Named Marvin 'Buck' Adams.  This Man Happens to Be My Aunt's Daddy, And Sadly, He Passed Away Last Week (which was preceded a few weeks prior by the death of her Mama). Since This Blog Is About Creativity, I Wanted To Share With You Papa's Creativity In His Honor.

 

Papa Was A Very Friendly Man! He Would Share The Best Stories, Which Were Hilarious Because Most Of Them Were About His Wife!  He Loved His Wife, His Children, His Grandchildren, & Most Importantly, He Loved The Lord.

 

But Aside From His Character, Papa Was Creative With Wood.  Between Me, My Mom, Sister, Aunt & Cousin, We Have A Lot Of Things Papa Has Crafted Over The Years.

 

He Mainly Crafted Things Out Of Wood.  He Would Gather The Scraps From Lumber Yards That Were Saved Just For Him By The Owners.  Although, Some Of The Items He Made Were Out of The Wood In Pallets & It Just So Happens, That is the Trend Now....Needless To Say, Papa Was Ahead of His Time!

 

He Truly Had a Talent.  Not Only Were The Items He Made Useful To All Of Us, They Were Also Wonderful For Decorating.  Everything Was Made So Well Too...You Would Have To Work At Breaking Any Of Them!!

 

Here is My Aunt Jennifer and Her Mama Ernestine Adams (Granny to me) & Her Daddy Marvin 'Buck' Adams (Papa to me)

 

 

He Made This Windmill, Which My Mom Painted & Uses As Decor In Her Garden.

 

 

 

Here is The Rocking Bench He Made Out of a Pallet! Here Is My Daughter Enjoying Her Snacks In The Sun....What A Life!

 

 

 

This Cute Little Bench Has Been Used To Hold Stuffed Animals, Books, You Name It, But Now It Is A Perfect Decor Piece in My Mother's House

 

 

 

Papa Made My Cousin, Sister & Me Each A Table & Chairs For When We Had Kids. My Mom Has Been Hanging Onto Mine Until I Recently Redecorated My Daughter's Room.  She Loves It!

 

 

 

He Also Made This Rocking Horse, Which At The Time This Picture Was Taken, It Was A Little Big For My Daughter, but It Is The Perfect Size For Her Now!

 

 

There Are Many More Things That He Made Out Of Wood, Such A Rocking Chair (Big & Small) & A Toy Rocking Horse, But These Are The Only Ones I Have Pictures Of. 

 

Again, Papa Was Very Creative & Very Talented!
