Ahhh… okay… bookstore adventures

August 24, 2013 By Chris Durnan

My son and I spend alot time in book stores and libraries. We are book hounds. Along with my hubby. We love to read and love books, magazines etc. I have a tablet. I read on my tablet to with the kindle app. But love paper and books. For my son, I feel like the printed book is a good way to read. He plays videos, he has screen time, he texts…. at night before bed no screen involved… he reads. Yep I might be an old school Mom, but he reads and imagines and learns and flips a page old school style.
Recently, we were at Barnes and Nobles with the hubby. Before we went in for a gift for my hubby’s god-daughter. I said to him ” be aware, we could be  broke by the time we leave” he laughed. Well yeah… I was right.
It seems when my son and I are in bookstores and libraries we find the books that make us pause in puzzlement. This book was one my son came running up to me. And he is beaming with a mischievous sparkle in his eye. He looks at me and “says take a picture!” Then he reads the cover to me and starts making hacking gagging noise like we have heard our cat outside doing. And then giggling so hard his eyes were watering. I did and I was like what? Really? I love to craft, but this is not on my to do list.
So then we went off to find Dad and they both got lost to the sci-fi section and dr. Who bookmarks.
But I need to know…. has anyone who reads this post made cat hair crafts? I just can’t wrap my mind around it.
Enjoy!

Starting, Tuesday I will draw a name from either the comments on the fb thread, forum thread, or my blog comments and send you five files on your wishlist.
I have to admit this will be my most missed part of the store. Being able to giveaway files from a wishlist.
Alot of files will be not be reloaded anywhere and most universal will load to the KNKUSA store. 🙂 so search through mine high and low and see what you want.

You can also post every day! Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Just don’t forget to get your entries in. Sometime in the afternoon I will start to draw names and pick some winners. 
✔You will be sent 5 of your files on the wishlist of my choosing. So make sure you have cleaned them up and it isn’t a file you already have.

If it is a file you already have and was still on your wishlist, it will not be replaceable. please make sure your lists are cleaned up and ready.

My Aunt Elise’s new adventures.

August 11, 2013 By Chris Durnan

My Aunt Elise’s first post on Bologna Brain. I love her straightforward from the heart writings. What you are reading is her heart out there for everyone to soak up into their own lives.

It is hard for me to believe I have only been with her a handful of times in my life because of the distance between our homes. Through facebook I get to enjoy her love of life on a daily basis. I love every moment of it.  Thankful she recently made it through a huge multi-car accident to continue sharing her heart with those around her.

Here is the link:

http://www.bolognabrain.com/2013/08/10/through-the-eyes-of-our-elders/

I hope you enjoy the read and there will be more to come I am sure. If you like it or it makes you think, please leave her some positive feedback. Those who know me know that I love to encourage those around me. Thank you to those who help me on my never ending journey of encouragement to others.

If you have a post or project you want to share, please post here in the comments. I’d love to see.

Love my life ~Enjoy!

Exciting new adventures – forum possibilities

August 5, 2013 By Chris Durnan

Our forum members still want a home. I totally agree.  I can offer a vanilla forum on the new site. Anyone want to help build this comfortable home for our members to share, chat, and challenge each other?  The forum I have checked out would be a vanilla forum. If you have any experience and would like to help out, please email me so I can have someone to turn to and help with moderating.

These are just ideas to get moving on for September 1st. Enjoy! Chris
