Scrappy Sunday

Today was my favorite kind of Sunday - a nice, quiet, scrappy Sunday. So relaxing, it's just what I needed.

When we purchased our home, we knew we wanted to build a barn and kept trying to find the perfect one for inspiration. My husband found a photo of a barn and we both knew instantly that it was "the one!" I printed a copy of the photo and kept it in a file until our barn was built. I couldn't believe our luck to get so many beautiful snowfalls the first winter after we built it - it was a winter wonderland, just like our inspiration photo. My first layout is one that I've wanted to do for a long time, but could never get rolling on it. When I opened Cocoa Daisy's September kit, the inspiration hit me. Here is my layout, From Dream to Reality.
I love the Pink Paislee wooden letters that came in the kit. I wanted to mimic our barn stain so I misted the letters with Mister Huey (Overdue) and then used Distress Ink (Weathered Wood) on top. Check it out, it looks just like our barn wood!

I feel blessed and humbled to be living our dream. ♥
