Loving this HQCB #31 theme of Fathers Day or masculine with heart or love
Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity blog!
This posting is in memory of my father who died on Christmas day 2008. Such a Renaissance man! U.S. Naval Reserves for 6 years. Associates Degree in Theology. Farmer (both crops and cattle). Truck driver. Farm equipment sales. owner/Editor/publisher of an agricultural newspaper for 6 years. Most of these overlapped and were repeated through his almost 72 years. Bi-vocational pastor. Husband. Father. Grandfather to my nieces and nephews. Oh! also small plane pilot! He even built his own little coupe plane that I flew in! Too many memories. Lots of family traditions.

Becca... I love that adorable squirrel!! such a fun arrangement. Thanks so much for joining and sharing at Tic Tac Toe this week.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's more craftsy than artsy but it was a fun merge/mash-up to do!
DeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to your dad - love the images. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have moments when I start missing my dad a lot.
DeleteWhat a special card, your dad sure had an amazing life! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melanie!!! He lived a very full busy life!
DeleteLove what you pull out of your stash. I used to do a lot of sewing and now I think I should have saved a little piece of each of my materials... great combination of stash and love the sentiment and how you brought in your heart. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne! It's very craftsy instead of artsy, but it will be fun to give. I'm thinking maybe my brother with an August birthday.
Deletehahahaha! Becca, this is darling! A great pun to go with your wonderfully designed card! Love it!
