FQCB BONUS card Theme #7 with half barrel and wooden bucket and bushel baskets

Howdy! Yippee! In between crockpot meals, helping my mom, babysitting our honorary granddaughter 2 afternoons in a row, I've gotten some paper-crafting completed! YES!

Welcome to Heart Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog! The purpose of this blog is to showcase the design projects that I make for Heart's Quest and FarmQuest challenge blogs. I also occasionally make bonus inspirations to be able to network and make more social connections to other challenge blogs and Facebook groups through linking. 

This post features FarmQuest's new theme #7:

*at least 1 barrel image

AND

*at least 1 of these choices= bucket, pitcher, or watering can

Deadline is 12:30am July 13, 2022. (CT/Chicago time)

For this bonus inspiration card I decided to do something different than what I showed on the main post published on June 28th. That card had a full barrel and a watering can. 

This card has a half barrel full of apples, a wood bucket with handle, and 2 different bushel baskets which are not needed but wanted to incorporate and utilize the sentiment tag. 

Clipart Library website provided the images. Echo Park produced the sentiment. Everything else is old stash supplies.

To view and participate at FarmQuest, use this link to take you directly to Theme #7's main posting released on June 28th.

P.S. a 3x great grandfather on my mom's father's side was a cooper (barrel maker) when he came to Illinois from Germany around 1855, I think for the year. He eventually earned enough money working in a town along the Illinois River that he was able to slowly buy some farm acreage every few years. He'd stay in town during the week to work then work the land on weekends. As his sons got older and could help out more, it got to the point that the farm crops and animals made enough income that he could stop being a cooper.
