Here is my Army of Mr. Blockheads getting ready for invitations.
This is the first in my move to create Birthday party invites for my little
boy. He was so excited to see them that as I glued he was having battles and
making them walk around like cartoon characters with interesting voices.
Haha. Twas fun.
Hope your Monday went well!
Enjoy!

These are added to the QMC at 4shared and the forum today. So stop by and pick them up.
The card I made with my Dad in mind. His birthday is in July so I am way ahead woohoo.
The cupcake wrappers I designed for Super Bowl. And well I am behind on that. So between the two I am ahead and behind?
Hmm anyone?
So have you visited the forum lately? We have challenges galore running. There is a grab bag for sale for this month and a challenge to go with. And we added an official gallery to the forum for you to peruse and search and see a bunch of wonderful creations and ideas! Our goal always is to help you use those files you have collected. I am sure over the summer when things aren’t so busy we will be using the Gallery to give away some cut files and gifts! Have fun seeing everyone’s work.
On to life…
I am tired. My knees aren’t working quite right. My head is pounding. It is rodeo weekend. What is my mental problem you ask? Ahh well.. It is sleeping on the short couch so the hacking 6 year old in my life can sleep stretched out on the big couch. We watched movies all night to try to clear our mind of the coughing and gagging going on. So today we take it easy and hopefully by tomorrow night he will be ready to roll to Nanna’s house for a sleepover. I had planned on crossing my fingers all day to help expediate this, but it is what it is. J Either way I will be with my lovely hubby, but dancing sounds like oh so much more fun!!
My studio has been a work in progress lately. I have been cleaning items up and moving things and donating and just trying to focus it on more useability then what it seems to become and that is storage. However, right now there is a large keyboard in the middle of it on one of my counters. My son has been pounding on it every day after school. He is loving it! Without a doubt. This makes me happy. I love music and all types of music. However, I do wish I could find the little converter plug for my big headphones. Only so much electronic piano play one can listen to. wew.
Well I am off to watch the wars of PS2 Star Wars with the kiddo. He proclaimed today as the day He could not do anything without his favorite pajamas. This is when I know he is sick. So I shall visit the library another day and see Pam next time she heads to Arizona (big bummer) and enjoy the little bit of time the kiddo can still snuggle on my lap.. even if there is a puke bucket next to me. “just in case Mom. I don’t want to puke on your shirt” “well thank you my love. Thank you!”
Have a great day!
Enjoy!

For me.. the picture couldn’t get better then that!
What a week it has been and it isn’t over yet. So this should show some of what we are doing. Yesterday was Blue and Gold banquet for Scouts, my kiddo lost his tooth, today is Lego Robotics, tomorrow is School Pride Day. Grandma and Papa are coming. Aunt Nannees and Uncle JB with cousins came to the B&G. My kiddo feels like a rock star. And the Tooth Fairy dropped off 4 shiny quarters! Next week, I’ll have some pics fo the banner I have been working on for the Lego Robotics Club. All in all it is good. But my hands are itching to create. So tonight when Dad and Son head to town to get hair cuts. I am going to creating node by node. I love to look at nodes. It is definitely a sickness I have.
Luckily, we aren’t sick anymore. We went to see a friend’s son play his last high school basketball game. My kiddo loved it. My hubby and I were grinning as we watched him bounce up and down and yell defense. He loved it. “So much drama” he told me with a big-ol-grin. It was fun. After we went to leave, and he got into a fit of coughs (He had been really sick and was at the end of it. ) and he is coughing and he is bending and I thought uh-oh. Yep he threw up. He coughed to hard. He did it a few times and he whispered. “sorry mr. janitor”. I so love my kid. We are finally on our way out and he says. “Damn, the ballet made me puke and now basketball. Oops bad word. Sorry Mom.” He smiled sheepishly. I had to explain to him it wasn’t basketball it was his cough. And it wasn’t ballet. The whole family got the flu. He said. “well maybe basketball didn’t make me sick, but Ballet definitely made me puke.” Haha. I had to laugh. My hubby took us to dinner that night. It was just so nice to hang out together and do stuff together. It really is a highlight of my life.
Well I must run and finish a few things so I can create create this afternoon!!!1
Have a wonderful weekend! If you have nothing to do there is so much to do at VDBC….

| Our office moved to a new building and I was blessed with a nice large office with a huge window. I created this vinyl cut for under my window. The swirls are Visual Designs by Chris Scroll Collar #CD00607. i am blessed! is the font Suzie’s hand. I used the vinyl that came with my Cricut Expression but it was cut on my Wishblade. I really like how it turned out.

I am one of those practical annoying Valentine’s. My favorite Valentine day we spent at a horse auction just hanging out together and being. I love that. This year I got my guys these cups. My sister got me one for Christmas. I am always with water. My throat tends to catch lots so I have to constantly drink water. I love this cup. I have tried many. It doesn’t taste like plastic. It is a good amount of water and ice and I have been taking it everywhere with me. Between this copco cup and the tervis tumbler (which holds ice forever!) my hubby gave me, I am set. I love them. Oh and they don’t spill in the truck when I drive down the bumpy road. Woohoo! Nothing like a lid.
Well I digress. I bought my guys each a cup and they were a gonga deal compared to what I found online and filled them with Peanut M&Ms for him and regular m&ms for the little one. And kisses/hugs mixture on top. Also, for my kiddo I got him a small Lego set. Thank you to those who participated in the tag swap last year at the forum. I used two tags. One by Heidi and the other by Pam. I took off the sales tag which was on a nice elastic cord and replaced it with ones I had and wrote my love notes on the back. Just wonderful. A perfect small gift for the affection of my two favorite guys in the world.
Practical gift that we can use all summer long when it is 110 outside.
And yes for those members of the forum. Somewhere in my studio the original Valentine card I made the hubby is lurking. I cannot find it and I have given up hope. I even told my hubby it had disappeared in my studio. He laughed and he laughed loud. There is a reason I have St. Jude on the wall in my studio. The patron saint of Lost Causes. And the studio I craft and work in.. is always a lost cause. Haha. There is always something on a counter.
Off I go… And if my hubby reads this early. You sneak! I love you! Every Valentine I remember how you asked me to marry you on Valentine’s Day and it still makes my heart pitter patter!
Hope you have a great Valentine’s!
Enjoy!
Chris
So Cupcake officianados might be offended, but recently our cupcake tree has taken a decidedly healthy twist.haha. Had to share. Hope you have a healthy and wonderful day!

| I used the February sketch challenge for Visual Designs by Chris. I tried to resize it from 12×12 to 8 1/2×11 but couldn’t get the angles just right so I cut the circle border strip in half and made it fit then added a 2 1/2″ punched circle over the split in the piece. Can’t even tell. *smile* All papers on here are old old old K & Co. Chipboard lettering were left overs from a convention class. The square lettering is Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. A flower, decorative brad and a little bling. This was my very first Mother’s Day. Jeff and I were married 8 1/2 years before we started a family. I was so happy to become a momma! Sierra was such a happy baby! This is one of those time that I am happy not to be caught up because I can scrap these sweet baby photos when my 19 yo is being a pain in the patootie! *wink* She has been really good lately though. Knock on wood! *wink*
