    Posterjack Acrylic Blocks Personalized Desk Art For Dad #Giveaway

    June 18, 2015 /

    Full disclosure. This is a case where I want you to do as I say, not as I do. Posterjack’s new acrylic blocks would make the loveliest desk art ever for your Dad. They really would. If you can give them away. Wait, what? See, I am not using mine as Dad’s desk art. Bad Paula. I know. I intended to make this and have it given to my husband as a gift, but we have several things bought and wrapped already for Father’s Day. I had this piece made by Posterjack, and as soon as I placed it on my mantel, then moved it around my living room, I…
