Hi everyone...

Not many of you know very much about me but I'm going to share a bit of personal info here for a minute... I hope thats ok...

This year has been EXTREMELY hard for our family... My younger sister passed away suddenly, leaving her husband & 4 teen children. We lost 2 close friends of our family, also 2 cousins, one of my really good friends & last month my sweet wonderful Mom passed away... Both my Mom & My little Sis died in my Dads arms... He puts on a good front, but we can all tell that he is just a mess... Everything in the house is Moms - You can't look anywhere without seeing her in everything... I walk in & it's like getting punched in the gutt... I hate being there without those two smiling at me... My Dad is really wanting to go through the stuff & make the house more masculine & get rid of the "Mom" factor that is etched on every surface... It's just too emotionally difficult for him...

Well, he & one of my brothers decided to go on a Labor weekend trip... They are leaving tomorrow & wont be back until Monday... So while they are gone, the rest of us are going to re-do his house for him... We are going to clean, paint, & put away all of the things of Moms (except the stuff we know he wants)... We will all go through that later with Dad, but getting it all out of his face will hopefully help a little... If not, at least he will feel loved & smile a bit...

I do a lot of vinyl stuff... My Dad says that he wants the house to be more rustic (log Cabin in the mountains feel) - So I plan on making him a few really nice things to go on his walls...

That is what I need help with... Do any of you have anything that could work??? I'm looking for the WOW factor & I have no problem doing intricate work (I enjoy it)...

One thing that I do want is an Elk or small group of elk... Maybe one Buggling (spelling??) Something with a big rack & looking impressive... Other wildlife is good too... Tree lines, Mountains??? Western??? Anything that any of you have & are willing to share for a good cause would be greatly appreciated... If it's a good image, I can trace it myself... Anything???

I need them soon because I plan on doing them Friday evening to put them up...

Thank you so very much in advance for anything that you can do...

Hi Tanya, sorry to hear about all the loss you've suffered this year, and for your dad also. It sounds like some "sprucing up" will be a good thing for him. I'll look through my svg's tomorrow, I'm sure that I have some I can share. In the meantime, there is a file of a moose with a nice full rack standing in some grass available here at EnnieJ it is very nice and may work for you. Hope this helps some http://einnej.typepad.com/einnej/svg-files.html.

Tanya, You really have been through a lot. I am so sorry. You and your Father will be in my prayers.

I have attached a saying about fishing if your Father likes fishing.

God Bless

If you type in the search option I have done two elk heads.. They are just the outline silhouettes but I think they would look great in a nice matted oval frame..
I too and so sorry for all you have been through...

i remember seeing a cabin scene on this forum once.

i know that you didn't ask for wolves, but i really like lindamac's wolves here. http://forums.surecutsalot.com/viewtopi ... ves#p45973

Thank you so much... You are all so sweet & helpful...

Everything you have all shared is exactly the stuff I've been searching for... Thanks so much... (((HUGS))) to you all...
