Well a lobster was requested in my database. So here it is. These pieces all come apart. I just thought they were pleasing to the eye stacked liked this. I tried to come up with a cute saying for Maine and the three things that came up for Maine the most were the coast line. Hence the lighthouse.. The moose (is that Meese in plural?) and the lobster. so Here is Maine. This was kinda fun to put together.

So I have a quick story to share.. and we know how quick my ramblings are (so Lori.. pull up a diet coke here) …

I went to get hay with my son in the big truck and we get in and he has his terminator sunglasses on.. and he says. mom, call me super hero. So I say all right only if I get to be Super Mom.He thought this was pretty darn cool and said this is our Super Truck. So as he road shotgun in a truck with no air that I have a lighter plug in fan running and blowing on him. Because he hates the windows down because the “WIND IS TO LOUD MAMA”.

I got to think about that Super Truck. When I met my hubby almost ten years ago this truck was my chariot. He came to pick me up in it for trips around town and around the state. He had it washed regularly and just listening to the diesel engine start up made him smile. I can remember how I loved to sit next to him (thank goodness it was a bench seat) and just drive around town lookin through the big window in life with the A/C blowing on me (yes it had AC then.).

So as I nostalgically (is that a word?? it works for now??) ran through these thoughts I heard… SUPER MOM> SUPER MOM.. I get pulled out of my daydreaming moment. My son says “It’s HOT.” I concurred. So on our trip through town to get hay because of course I like the hay from one place in town the best and will drive an hour to get there. (do other horse owners do that? I must be a hay snob) Anyways. we stopped at every circle K there was to get water and popsicles and the like.

I cannot imagine that those many years ago as I rode next to my then boyfriend that I thought I would be considered Super Mom as I drove this big ol truck of my husbands through town, sucking on a popsicle and chatting with my son about the finer points of dripping on your clothes and not on Daddy’s truck. Gotta tell ya.. life is good.

Well have a great day and most of all…

Enjoy!

PS.. My last sale was on my birthday in June .. I think correct me if I am wrong… so On Monday of Labor Day Weekend all my files will be 30% off. I have offered coupons here and there, but this way you can just shop and shop and not worry about codes. It’s all day Monday. So do your search.. write down your numbers and be ready to go. Hopefully supplies won’t run out .. (tease)… oh and I am pretty sure my friend Lori is joining me in the sale, but don’t tell her I outed it before her. That is why I am posting it here in the fine print of my post at the very end. hahaha. Love ya Lori!! And I hope she is joining me. Or Woops I will be wrong. Maybe I better hush up.. lets see what she says on her blog today… Shhh!!!

This is the email that requested of me the “Jumble of Numbers” file

Chris,
First let me say I also have a three year old son and at times I feel like I am going through the same situations in life that you are.I visit your blog regularly and this is my first request. I am looking to fill a page with numbers. I think it would be easier to have them joined together when cut. I would like them to be jumbled together in different sizes. I am a new owner of a wishblade and the C&C software and unfortunately a little computer challenged. I am hoping you can create this file for me so that I can cut it.I appreciate everything you do and everything you offer to those of us with new machines.

The bottom numbers are for emphasis of a particular number. Just stretch it to the size you need it to be and lay it out on top the jumble. This is one of next months Sale Files. $2.49 Regular Price. Purchase HERE.

This set of letters is Times. So if you have Times on your computer which I think about 99.9% of people do you can add the letter you want to emphasize in a contrasting color or size. The long narrow setup can put along the bottom of a page. $2.49 Regular Price. This is one of next months Sale Files. Purchase HERE.

Purchase HERE.

Purchase HERE.

This will be the file for today. I am working on all the conversions for it and seeing if I can get a second file up for later today to. Have to test cut it. I should know when I start out Monday with how the heck am I gonna make it through everything today. I probably won’t get a file up. So this one will be here. just wanted to give you a preview pic. Came up with three titles for one image so I am including them all in one file.

Also you should have a new password today! If you didn’t get the email. you’ll have to check the group.

A few things.. my friend Lori is asking for prayers for a friend of hers son. If you have a moment of silence, please take it to send prayers. The miles may be far but prayer travels by the speed of god. Thank you to those who can. This is near and dear to me because of my cousin and his head injuries after a car accident at the age of 9 months. Every prayer counts no matter how short and long. Thank you.

Next.. Pickin Horse Apples. A chore I don’t relish at all. and Yes Shae you are right (see comments for more info). Included in the file are three titles because I couldn’t pick the best one to put with the pitchfork.

My hubby came home with a gift for me last night a 320 gigabyte external hard drive. woohooo I can clear some things off my laptop because it is chugging and I worry constantly about something happening so later today I will be plugging it in and copying everything to it for a backup. He knows how to make me smile!!

Thank you to those who used my coupon last week. Thank you Thank you.

Also, this was a request I saw earlier this morning so thought I would throw it out here for those with great ideas… What kinda of decorations can you make for a wedding reception, a simple open house after the ceremony….. what kinda of decorations can you make with your cutter?? My first thought was cut out their names and put them around the tables kinda like a larger version of confetti with additional words like happiness, love etc, or cut a tall piece with hearts and their names to put in the center of the flowers. Does anyone have any other ideas??

Well our horse shoer is here. So I am off to listen to some good horse stories and information and try to get some work done in between.

Enjoy!

Chris

Well it is Monday what a wonderful weekend!

First can I say I am working on an upload and it should be later today. I have a ton a ton of errands to run in town. If I can get it all done and home I should have one.

For right now, I am getting ready to head in and hit swim lessons and then multiple stops on top of that. So I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine started out with my hubby and I kicking up our heels and doing a little country swing. He and I met on the dance floor and it is one of our most favorite moments together. We got a ton done at the house with little things or rather my hubby did with my son. They worked on all kindsa things from messing with the boat, to changing out the horse waterers, to fixing the fence. My son just trudged behind his Dad with small plastic hammer in hand. So awesome to watch them. Then Sunday was a fun filled family day. We drove to Phoenix to help my brother move a jacuzzi then back to Tucson for a family party with my in laws. Fantastic! Love how that family gets together and just hangs out. By 9:30 pm we got home and had left at 530 a.m. we were exhausted, but it was time spent together so how awesome.

So this weekend I read a few magazine pages here and there. One that stuck in my mind was about an actress…can’t remember her name for the life of me…. rrrr… anyways she was talking about taking baby steps to going “green”. I gotta admit in life this crosses my mind lots from living on a farm in my youth, to spending time with my Dad in the summers in the “woods” of Wisconsin to living in the desert with my Mom and siblings and having horses of our own and living on a larger parcel of land then most. It may not be a huge section of land, but it is ours and we like it. We have just enough room to spread out. But I think alot about nature and life and how we all interact with eachother. How living in the desert versus the woods is each so different, but still have a lot of consistent features. One of those is I can still awe over a flower. And especially in the desert. I can awe at its beauty in a world of dirt and cacti. This lady in the article stated that you can take baby steps… Take a canvas bag to the grocery store with you for those quick trips or buy a favorite coffee mug to take to the local coffee chain. I thought wow this is pretty easy steps and I have a huge-a-mongous canvas bag I use for toting things already. And man does it drive me nutz when those little plastic bags break and some of my family in Wisconsin is supported by the paper industry so alot of times I try to use paper bags. But that also has its repercussions. So this week I will be seeing if I can clean out that tote bag and take it to the store for a test run for this quick stops at the grocery store. I am thinking this way I won’t be dropping a can of soup on my foot when the plastic bag splits. And as for the coffee…. well I don’t drink it… ick.. Hot burning scalding brown water with the funkiest bizarrest after taste that makes you want to cut your tongue out because you burned it and now it tastes like trash. ewwww. give me cold pepsi on ice any time! another habit I have to break. hahaha.

Well I have rambled to long.. I am wondering if anyone else has any simple easy steps to “green”… like turn off the water when brushing your teeth, unplug your chargers when not in use so they stop draining electric … any thoughts? I am just curious..

Thanks much for listening.. have a fantastic Monday. See ya later today.

Enjoy!
Chris

Okay on to Friday. wooohoo. It is Friday and tonight we are headed out. Which means I need to look through my clothes to find something to wear. I have a few western “bling bling” belts that I just love, but have to decide what I want to wear. My hubby took his clothes with him so I can just pick him up after work and he can be ready to go. It has been a while we have been out together on our own. Soo soo excited. Should be lotsa fun. My son will have fun at his aunt’s and I get to kick up my boots. What a win win situation! Can you tell I am excited.

So the last few nights with my son have been crazy. My son has been so wired it is insane. He spent twenty minutes last night running circles in the living room. Part of the problem is he can’t go outside by himself or with the dogs right now. There is a mountain lion in the neighborhood. So he usually goes outside and plays in the sand box and our dogs hang out with him while he is outside. They are cute they just follow him around everywhere. But our friends large dog was killed, another neighbors horse was attacked and my friend was driving down the road and saw it. She said it is huge. She sounded a little suprised it was so large. The reports are the mountain lion has cubs in the area and that is why she hasn’t left the area. So that means my little boy doesnt get to go out without me. Hence the pent up energy. This little character Diego on tv is one hyperspastic kid and runs everywhere. Therefore my son wants to run everywhere! Wew!

Well I better run. Gotta feed the horses. Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy!

If you have missed the email, please visit the group. I think I opened up the archived messages for now. Still the only person who can post there is myself so that there aren’t alot of emails. So if you try to post and it doesnt work that is why. Again please remember I am on a learning curve. Thank you to everyone who has offered their help.
Enjoy!
