A day of lows and highs….

August 19, 2009 By Chris Durnan

We went to a funeral yesterday and it was heartbreaking to see our friend lose his life at the age of 38. Such a short lifetime, but it was also impressive. Such a short life time, but the room was filled with probably more then 200 people all saying what an impressive man he was. That he “didn’t know a stranger” and I can attest to this because when we first met him we spent two hours just chatting a joshing about life and telling some off color jokes. And the room was filled with family & friends from all walks of life. Ropers, 4h kids, family from afar, just all types of people gathered together to respect the life of a very happy family loving man. I will miss the fact that we won’t run into him again and spend 2 hours chatting, but I am truly blessed to have met him and know that there are still those folks out there who would give you their last dollar to help you get home, support his family and friends, and smile and laugh and tell a funny story just to make the day a little brighter. He will be missed. John Trajanovich. You will be missed.

and then from there it was alot of driving for me yesterday… driving driving driving all the way to Tempe and back. But the driving back was the fun part because we spent it in our 2003 Ford F350 Super Duty Dually Diesel. We had been making two car payments and decided to roll those into one and get the truck to haul our horses with a little more confidence. And financially it cut our monthly costs in half. And on top of that my hubby has got the biggest cheshire grin going!!!! Fantastic… He has wanted a truck like this since I met him 11 years ago. So now he has it and I couldn’t be more proud of him. And of course the kiddo story…. We get in and look at all the buttons while we are driving and my kiddo has flipped down the overhead dvd player and I go to put it up because we don’t have one to play and it doesn’t stick up… so I push again… And my son says…. “JUST SLAM IT” my Hubby says… “WHAT… we just got it.. don’t slam anything yet” haha. Love it!
So it was a day filled with lows and highs which has just become another “day in the life”. And today I hope to get more files completed for the QMC. Thank you to all those who stand by me. I appreciate everything you do for me and help me with.
Enjoy!

Playing with a virtual keyboard.

August 13, 2009 By Chris Durnan

So this was fun to play with. My hubby brought it home to look at before taking it to a clients. A Dentist who wants to use it so he doesn’t have to clean a keyboard. Just wipe the counter to alleviate germs. A laser keyboard. I had to turn the lights off to get a picture of it shining on the counter. Prettttty cool if you ask me. but I like gadgets. It is how I got into this whole cutter thing. And that is so awesome!

And BINGO is getting under way. Have you flexed your hands and loosened them up in preparation. Should be fun!!!

I am back to it. I have a few files for the QMC to finish up and a few more in the works. Also, a few specialized requests I have been working on. They take a little longer.

Have a wonderful wonderful day! And as always!
Enjoy!
Chris

Doggie Thank You

August 12, 2009 By Chris Durnan

Just returned from vacation and created this thank you card for my parents for keeping our dog while we were away… Used a border from CD00558 Dog Bone Borders. Added a pre-made embellishment, snip of ribbon and a few buttons. The bottom words were printed on the computer in a color to match the card.

Those who pass through our lives.

August 11, 2009 By Chris Durnan

Well I write today with a heavy heart. A family we know within the horse community has unexpectedly lost their father. He was quick to offer a helping hand, offered many times to spend some time with my son to teach him to rope and invited us to his home. I feel for his family greatly and their loss. He was very involved with his children and 4H and horses. So with that take some time to appreciate those who you don’t know very well, but that you know in passing because they are still a part of our journey. He has some great kids and his wife is super nice as well. We will say a prayer tonight as our heads hit the pillow that his love he obviously felt for his children and those around him will be felt throughout their lives and they will carry it on to others. May he rest in peace and his family find some peace within their hearts carried by memories.

Enjoy every moment today.
Chris

New layout using files from QMC

August 7, 2009 By Chris Durnan

Once again, Chris’s latest addition to the new QMC inspired me to get creating! I love these files, and when I saw this file “CD00572 – Flames2”, I immediately thought “Wings” LOL

I also really like Chris’s CD00431 which, although a Happy Birthday file, has the most gorgeous tree in it, which I have used several times now.

This layout is a recent photo of my son, showing off for the camera. He is “My Little Angel?” , and these flame wings just go so well with this photo!

Have a great day wherever you are,

cheers, caz
