Happy Memorial Day from the Farm!

I don't usually post personal things but thought I would share a little bit of what we have been doing this past week. We are at our family farm.  It is such a fun place to spend time at. When we bought the farm it was in serious disrepair, we are slowly restoring it to its former glory.  We have a lot of work that needs to be done, but it's fun work.  Right now we are working on one of the out buildings.

We are not sure what this building was originally intended for, we suspicion it was possibly used to milk cows.  If you are familiar with old farms and think you might know what this building was used for, let me know in the comments below.

When we bought the farm the picture below is what the out building looked like, except there were tall shrubs in front of the building.  The shrubs were growing so close to the walls that we had to cut them down in order to be able to remove the rotten siding.

We removed all of the rotten interior wood and siding, leaving what wood we could salvage from the original building.  The rotten framing was replaced with new wood.  The siding was, for the most part, not salvageable except for one partial wall. The building has cinder blocks for the first three feet and then wood for the rest of the wall.
It is definitely a work in progress. We are hoping to have the siding on before we head back home.  We'll see.  

There were also lots of ants.  My grandson built a place for the ants to go, so they would not get in the out building any longer.
He said he needed to build something for the ants to chew on besides the shed.  He was pretty sure it was going to work. 😉

Hope you have a Happy Memorial Day!
Never forget the sacrifices others have made to protect our freedom!

Father’s Day Blog Hop


  
Welcome to Team Stamp It Groups Father's Day Blog Hop! 

Whether you hopped onto my Blog from one of my teammates or started with my blog, I'm awfully glad you "hopped" by.

This card is made using the Hey Sports Fan Suite from the January to June Mini Catalog. I love the bright, vivid colors in this suite.
The card begins with a Real Red card base.

The next layer is a Night of Navy cardstock panel.

The top panel is from the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper(DSP).

One of the flags was made using a piece of Real Red and Night of Navy cardstock.  The other flag was made using a piece of the Hey Sports Fan (DSP) and Real Red cardstock along with the Sports Event Dies.

The Night of Navy Star was cut out using one of the Stitched Stars dies.

The circle with the #1 in it was cut out twice, once using Very Vanilla cardstock and the second time using Real Red cardstock along with one of the Sports Event dies.  After it was cut out, the #1 was removed from the circle and the circle was adhered onto the Night of Navy star. The Real Red #1 was glued in place using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The "Ticket" stamp from the Your Biggest Fan stamp set was stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Night of Navy ink.  

The "Most Valuable Dad" sentiment is from the Your Biggest Fan stamp set and has been stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock using Real Red ink. 

The "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the Home & Garden stamp set and has been stamped using Real Red ink.  

Once everything on the "Ticket" was stamped the coordinating ticket die from the Sports Events dies was used to cut the "Ticket" out.

The "Best Day Ever" ticket is from the Hey Sports Fan DSP and has been cut out using the coordinating ticket die in the Sports Events dies.

Resins Stars were added to the card front for accent.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the On the Horizon stamp set and has been stamped in Real Red ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. 

Real Red and Night of Navy Stampin' Write Markers were used to color the star stamp from the Your Biggest Fan stamp set and then stamped onto the bottom corner of the card.

Night of Navy cardstock was adhered to the back of the Very Vanilla sentiment panel and then adhered onto the Real Red card base.
