Backyard Before and After

I thought I'd take a second today to show you what has been taking over my stamping time! When Joe and I moved in 2 years ago, we knew that the barbeque pit would be one of the first things to go (it didn't look as bad as it does in the picture though...Joe had started demo-ing before I was able to get a picture). We had never done anything like this, but we watch enough HGTV and DIY Network that we decided to do it all ourselves. Joe drew up everything, then he and his dad got to work! 

This is what it looked like before:

And after...didn't he do a great job??

These pictures really don't do it justice! Everyday when I go outside I forget that it's my backyard! We still have a few more things we've been doing (staining the deck, planting more flowers, etc), but once it's all finished I will have more time to get back to stamping!
