recipe page with Chris Durnan’s file

May 29, 2010 By Chris Durnan

This is another really versatile file. It’s Chris’s Cookie Sweet Pack and you can find it here. This is my favorite cookie recipe, so I wanted a page to put in my recipe book. I love the way the title on the cookie board cuts.

Graduation from Kindergarten!

May 27, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Share |

Yesterday was graduation day! So much fun. My kiddo was so excited he could barely breathe. He got up early to get ready to go and was just thrilled. He has been singing the songs on the front patio and practicing his little heart out. And when they asked him what did you want to be when you grow up his response was a “computer fixer” so this made my hubby just grin from ear to ear. When I walked into the classroom after the ceremony/performance he put his hands over his grinning mouth and went AHHHHHH… he ran up to me and put his arms around me and squeezed. He was just super super happy and that is awesome! Here is one of the pictures of the three of us. And then one of him walking down at the end. And two more with grandparents. We went for lunch after and he was an excited little chatterbox. Summer is officially here and he is happy happy happy. When I went to school today. A few of the Mom’s said that they loved that he constantly waved at us from the stage. They just wanted to wave back! I know the grandparents have more pics so when I get them I will add them 🙂 My beautiful nieces were there to and I didn’t get their pics on my camera so I will be hijacking some pictures this weekend  I hope.

My Parents above and Hubby’s below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy!

If you’d like to see it. Here is the link.
I hope you Enjoy!

CD00552 Circle Tabbed Card

May 23, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Here is another card using CD00552.  I love this card style and have made several cards with it.  It is so versatile!  This one is a birthday card for my youngest daughter”s 15th birthday today.  I call her my sugarbug, hence the bumblebees.

Confirmation Card

May 23, 2010 By Chris Durnan

I used file #CD00103 (cross) and #CD00571 (“Confirmation) for this card.  The butterfly is one of the Cuttlebug cut and emboss dies.  Added some ribbon and a bit of bling.  I love when I can use more than one system to create some quick, easy and beautiful.

Yeah!! It is the weekend.

May 21, 2010 By Chris Durnan

I must tell you it is Friday afternoon. I have just found a bag of M&M’s hidden in the back of the junk food drawer and I am in heaven. I definitely needed the Chocolate. So now I am working on all kinds of different files for the QMC. I have upload a bunch of the previews and yeah! I love to create and haven’t done enough of it lately. So next week should be a super busy week for those in the QMC downloading and downloading.

As for us. Our weekend plans are not heavy on commitment, but definitely on a lot of to-do’s. It is warming up quickly. I get up at about 6 and think why can’t I get up at about 5. It is so beautiful outside and I can enjoy the weather and accomplishing things without the heat of the day. Well… who knows .. maybe this weekend will be the charmer. I am gonna shoot for it as I am working on cleaning up our little RV and throwing it on the market for sale. I love it. However, it doesn’t fit our needs right now. so that is one project for sure. It is so easy to drive and smaller size so easy to maintain.

If you walked into my house right now you would see painting will soon be under way. Next week is the last week of school for my kiddo and he has agreed to help me paint the kitchen. So we need to take the cabinet doors off and take them out. Sand them a little and paint them. Might change the hinge hardware. We shall see. For now tho’ Cabinets have test paint on them and I am undecided as to the final choice.

Also, some easy plans to see some friends. ahh wonderful. Lookin’ forward to it.

Well I am gonna run so I don’t lose my chocolate high and my creative burst. I hope you are doing well and keeping happy! Don’t forget to stop by the forum and see what we have going on. Bingo, Challenges & Swaps. busy busy group over there.

Have a wonderful day and Superb weekend!
Enjoy!
Chris
