Father's Day


Since before we got married I have told Justin about this photo I saw in a magazine. They had used different structures, buildings, etc. that looked like letters to spell words. I had told him I wanted to do our name but never took the time to do it. So two years later...here it is. I made it a 5x30 picture and (with my Dad's help) we built a custom made frame and stained it to match our new woodwork. After scoping out the prices of odd ball frames like that, I decided this would be much easier and cheaper. As far as I heard, Justin liked it. (especially after he heard our "we-had-to-use-an-18th-century-hand-saw-that-fastened-to-the-table-and-didn't-cut-straight-so-we-had-to-run-across-town-to-Larry's-work-house-to-use-a-real-electric-saw-then-go-back-and-assemble-with-a-broken-nail-gun-that-shot-3-nails-through-the-top-so-we-had-to-cut-them-out-which-led-to-pulling-out-some-wood-so-we-had-to-feel-in-some-pieces-and-sand-down-the-edges-then-had-to-call-cousin-Michelle-to-find-the-stain-in-our-garage-because-I-saw-a-6 foot-mouse(I am pretty sure it was that big)-and-couldn't-go-out-there" story).
I may just buy the frame next time :o)
