Building The Swing Set For J

Journaling:  The swing set that Mema put together with Mommies help.  Poppy and Mema gave the swing set to J for his 5th birthday.  It was hot and the first time I've ever built a swing set but  seeing J play on it was priceless.

This was fun to create.  First time using crackle paint, rubbed ink over the top to highlight the cracks and I love the effect.  I've used a mask with paint but this time I used ink and I think it looks better, softer.
