So so cutey!! Happy Aunt!

October 7, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Isn't he the cutest. My hubby loves little babies. But we both really love
little babies that are our niece and nephews when they have other parents to
stay up with them all night. Hehe. And here is my crazy kid, his cousin and
our Nan holding the baby. Nan always looks up at the sky like she sees some
bird that has popped into the room. I figured out how to fix that last time
we were all together. I hold the camera to the side and then I talk to Nan
and say look at me and smile.. she looks me in the eyes. And wahla she is
looking at the camera and not some imaginery bird. Thank goodness. 🙂
Anyways. Here are a few pictures of the many many we have 🙂 of course. So
this is just a tidbit to Enjoy! Chris

Make your Own Banner Grab Bag File

October 5, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Here is one of the grab bag files I created for the month of October. Those great Happy Birthday Banners etc. I made this one below for a baby shower for a friend. My kiddo wanted to help so he cut the little bee from the walk in the garden cartridge on my Cricut. He loves loves to push those buttons and helped me glue them together. I will be using this file alot personally. I used brads with flowers and hung the bees and flowers with thread. My kiddo cut one of the bees and didn’t want to glue the pieces on again. So he drew the cute smiley bee and he was thrilled to see it up on the decorations in the pictures.  The shower’s theme was quite bumbley and super cute! Heidi did an awesome job putting it together. She definitely has style when she plans her parties. And the diaper cake came out super cute. I have never made one of these, but I think these guys are the experts in diaper cakes. Cute cute!

Enjoy!

Marinated Roasted Red Peppers

October 5, 2010 By Chris Durnan

Well I am addicted. I have started canning. When I can I feel very close to my Grandma that has passed many years ago. We would visit Wisconsin in the summers and spend lots of time with her and my Grandpa. Pulling vegetables from the garden and canning. That distinctive click click of the pressure canner (which I haven't tried yet, but plan to.) is a sound I attribute with my summers. I have an opportunity to get cost effective veggies and fruits through bountiful baskets and plan to use it to the max. So I have 20 lbs of tomatoes waiting for me. I plan to make some salsa and some canned tomatoes with no salt. I am trying hard to can without salt. It is very fulfilling. I will post more pictures as I go. I just did these tonight and they are so pretty I had to share.

For those on my FB page you know, but others … I pretty much have sprained my ankle. But the positive… The kiddo is on break with me so I don't have to drive to school and walk in. And my crafting hands are free to create. I really have to wonder how my ankles can look chunkier then they normally are. I was in a total state of denial until I took my wrap off and wow who stuffed an apple under my skin on my ankle?? But alas not much can keep me down. So I will ice and rest and keep on chugging.

Have a mahvelous day and evening!!! Life is awesome.

Enjoy! Chris

It has been

October 1, 2010 By Chris Durnan

One of those months. I have reformatted my PC again. It is unfortunate that I realized after the third format in about 8 weeks that I was reloading the virus every time from my back up drive. Oh joy oh joy! So this means I have been slow on blogging and slow on creativity as I reload the software. However, I have it down to a system and an actual piece of paper that says the order and what to load and drivers etc etc. So basically I am venting because I need to burn off some steam to try and keep working tonight. So thanks for sticking with me. It promises to have a happy October. I just can’t wait for fall. And hope it is an awesome month to catch up.

Enjoy!

Chris
