Eating my Words …

March 20, 2009 By Chris Durnan

Well I am eating my words.. and do you want to see what it is???
Most of you have already guessed I am sure. Long ears. little button nose.
AND I KNOW! Many of you are giggling so hard and laughing at me…


But I must say I am throwing a flag. It’s a technicality! This bunny was not caught in the box trap. My husband swooped it up to save it from one of our dogs grabbing it. It was right in front of my son and would have definitely been to much for him to see. So in a box on my kitchen table… my “garden nemesis” enjoys alfalfa hay freshly bought for the horses and a cozy box to sleep in for tonight. Because tomorrow the cousins are coming out to see my bambino and that will be release time. A wild bunny should stay wild. (I do have some heart. I feed the bunny missing an ear and an eye out by my garden for a few months last summer. You could walk up to this bunny on it’s bad side and stand there until it noticed your shadow. Some thing had gotten it and it had healed enough to make it rather large, but I haven’t seen it in a long time.) So I can be caring even when the bunnies plunder through my garden eating whatever they can find. We live in the desert. I understand. but Um this bunny is not staying and that is because I am pleading technicality! ha!

And for those reading this and know me… They know I am writing this in sheer panic that my son will bringing out his winning negotiating smile and my husband and I are not on top of our game. ha! He is quite the little negotiator. I told my MIL and she laughed so hard I coulda put the phone down and still heard the giggling clearly from ten feet away.
Well you saw the pics. Isn’t it sooooo cute!!!

And yes world.. As I am sure I will do more then once in the years to come in my life… I am eating my words..

Enjoy!
Chris
P.S. I am off to seek out the pics of me finding a baby bunny about 4 years ago. Think it will make a great scrapbook page. Mother and Son. ha!

Here’s a layout with two of Chris’s files. You can find Chris here. Behind the vellum is Chris’s fabulous Heart Jumble. I used the included heart files to make the heart border on the left side. I resized the hearts and even embossed a couple with glitter embossing powder. The border on the left is also one of Chris’s fabulous files.

Here I am!! it’s frenzy time again…

March 17, 2009 By Chris Durnan

Well if you have followed my blog for long then you know where I am …

I am in Creative Craziness Mode. Where my hands just shake because I can’t create enough.
My son stays away from me because my eyes are stuck open luck blocks (Did your Mom ever tell you that? I think of that every once in a while. How often my Mom said I would hurt my eyes and they would be stuck open and square if I sat to close to the tv. I probably could have saved her alot of reprimanding time if she knew I would spend a good portion of my life 24 inches from a computer screen) Anyways, as usual I digress.

So I am in creative mood. Have about 28 files in all forms of disarray to be completed, to be test cut, to be tweaked, to be added to the new QMC, to be added to the store and for BINGO! woohoo!!

On that note I gotta run. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!
Chris

PS I got the Cupcake Wrapper Frilly in the store. WOohoo!

Kindy Daze!

March 15, 2009 By Chris Durnan

These are some photos of my son when he was in Kindy. He was four in these pictures, and now is thirteen. He was so cute!

I have used Chris’s Alpha Jumble as a mat behind the photos in this layout. I love the way I can use all those letters without having to put in each letter separately, what a time saver. I have created this layout in PSCS3 and have applied a colour and a couple of styles to the Alpha Jumble to make it stand out within the layout.

Nicholas always seems as though he is in a world of his own, even now! Hence the “Daze” in the title! LOL

cheers, caz

Frilly Cupcake Wrappers.. and the Wabbit Hunter.

March 14, 2009 By Chris Durnan

First let me show you the cupcake wrappers I have been working on. I wanted some very ornate ones. Looking at these pictures they look like chocolate. Okay I might be having a sweet tooth moment. And not the blue one. I don’t eat blue chocolate. well maybe right now I would, but not normally. Wonder if I have any of those Cadbury mini chocolate hard shell things around anywhere. hmm. Okay sorry I digress. These will be coming to the store soon. Though these might be nice for a wedding or tea or a maybe the lattice one for a garden party. Just pretty. Working on some others.

On to life..

This is one of the moments of ingenuity in our household this week. My son decided he needed to have a rabbit. Umm. Mom said No. We just got a puppy. He begged. I kept saying no. So He asked Dad. Dad said well here ya go. Here is a trap. The old box trap. It was cute. My son told my hubby “Don’t take a picture of me” He said I have to take pictures of you on your first hunting trip. “Oh okay” was my sons response. haha. To cute. Will be documenting this one in a scrapbook somewhere. I am wondering if my hubby saw this on one of those Roadrunner and the Coyote Cartoons. haha. This was out by our horse pens as the rabbits love when the horses get fed.

Well that’s it for me. Have a wonderful weekend! And when I get back next week I will update the slide show with the missing pics and the additions that have come in for the challenge!

And this is the last weekend to get the early bird files with your 2nd Quarter QMC for 2009. So get in by Sunday to grab those three extra files.

Enjoy!

Chris

*****
Okay so here is something I made for my brother for his birthday that I thought I would share.
My first attempt at a card using a transparency. I used Staz-on Ink and attached some of the paper to the back. I don’t think my brother was impressed with my crafty attempts, but I thought it was fun and different to try. Oh and I was itching to use the stickles So knowing he wouldn’t be ooohing and ahhing over it. I through some on the bottom to play with it. Was fun!. I need to find thicker transparency paper to use.

And for those of you who read Lori’s Blog every day!! I didn’t realize I was stating something that would cause Lori a revelation. I thought it was more like. Okay Mrs. Obvious Whatever. hahaha. Love ya Lori.

And can I say I love Ty Murray on Dancing with the Stars. love it love it.

Enjoy!
