Yuck to the weather this year! Great scenery pieces on this... the fence, the trees and the clouds. Like too the wood grain you've added. Very neat look to it all. Hope after this, your arena construction goes much more smoothly.
Wonderful rustic and Western accents on this layout. I was tired just reading about all the work you are putting in for the arena. You took paper layering to a whole new level!
There is so much work keeping up with a place like yours. The whole western layout represents your wonderful home, and I love how you pulled this together and the girl with the horse is a perfect touch
Beautiful layout and love the trees and the horse with lady image. Love your journaling what's happening in your description. I'm sure it will be amazing when you are finished and hope you will post another layout of it finished...
Beautifully designed; love all of the rustic elements...
I've been thinking of you and all of the other ladies caught up in this horrible storm; sending you all my best wishes that it's over soon and you're all back to normal.
Wonderful design! Love how your inked edges create a vignette that enhance your photos and go with your arena "dream". Love the layers, those beautiful trees and that fab horse and cowgirl image. Perfect!
Not a very descriptive title, I know, but since the whole thing is still more idea than reality, this title will have to do for now.
I'm putting in a full size dressage arena (200 feet by 70 feet) in the area directly behind our back yard. This isn't as simple as it sounds because our entire property slopes from the road down to a creek halfway into our twenty acres and the back up to the back fence line. We're a quarter mile deep, and the drop is substantial. The whole area needed to be leveled, which took the bulldozer guy 3 days - he started Jan 20 and finished Jan 23. He ordered the sand, which I paid for. It was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday of the following week.
Wednesday, it rained. Then it almost dried out and then it rained again. Then it dried out and the sand company was behind and I was in the queue waiting for my order to be delivered. And then it snowed. It snowed a LOT. And then it was below 0 degrees for days and days until today and now it's snowing again.
My mares are in boarding because I had to have the perimeter fence taken down so the bulldozer could get to the work site. It's still down because the sand trucks are going to have to get to the work site. I don't know how long it's going to be before I can get the fence back up and my girls back home, but honestly?
With the amount of snow we have on the ground and the below zero temperatures we've seen for the past 10 days, I'm very thankful for boarding barns because I haven't had to get out in this mess. I've just had to pay for the luxury of sitting inside where it's warm instead of breaking ice and schlepping hay through snowdrifts up to my mid thigh to feed and water my horses.
