One More day..

July 31, 2008 By Chris Durnan

One more day of rest and recoup it seems. I still feel a bit fuzzy and not thinking clearly, but feeling better overall. I am anxious to start designing again. My little one stayed at his cousins house last night. He was so excited. I can’t wait to see him. I miss him tons. And my hubby did last night to. I better run before I say something that doesn’t make much sense.
Thanks for stopping by
Enjoy!

New Wheels!

July 30, 2008 By Chris Durnan

I used three of Chris’s files for this layout – New Wheels!. her Helmet file, and her motorcycle file. My hubby bought a motorcycle earlier this month, and I thought these files were perfect. I kept the colors neutral, since his bike and helmet are black, but if you look at the sample cut files here:
http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=1293
http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_dnld_info&products_id=1315
and
http://www.paperthreads.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3475
you can definitely see that these files can be made as personalized as you want for your rider. The New Wheels! file also comes with a tricycle, but I didn’t think hubby would approve of that on this layout. 🙂
Happy crafting!

Update #2….

July 28, 2008 By Chris Durnan

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just got off the phone with Chris’s husband and he said that Chris out of surgery and is in recovery. He said that everything went extremely well – they were able to do the surgery laparoscopically. (That is REALLY great news!!)

He also said that she should be released sometime tomorrow!!!

So we should see her back here at this space sometime in the next few days!! Meanwhile – I will let you know what I know – when I know it!!

As Chris would say ~
Enjoy!

It’s Finally Friday….

July 25, 2008 By Chris Durnan

Do you like my animated countdown clock? I always get an email that says I didn’t tell anyone when it was gonna close. Or they missed it. Here is the countdown and don’t forget the store is on Michigan time. So I am reminding Reminding. Click on the link to the right if you want to join.
Enjoy!

****** If you want some music to read todays post scroll down a bit and hit the play on the youtube video and read away…. 🙂

Well what an eventful day yesterday started with a long list of errands to run. Quick stops but all told I had ten of them and one was a quick visit to the docs for my little one and this would be a drive by visit because they won’t let us in the office. Why you ask?? well because my son has Chicken Pox. Yepper .. had the vaccination and still got it. But hey at least we know he’s had it. Really he only has about 20 spots and it is a super mild case because of the vaccine. But please pretty please could we not throw anything else in before surgery on Monday? This is my annoying whining, but the positive thing?? A snuggling snuggling little one. Lovin’ it. We got toy story 1 and he has watched it three times since we got home. I am veg’d out on it. And we canceled all the plans for the weekend. It will just be us enjoying eachother company and probably working more on the craft room project and other little things I should get done. He isn’t to itchy so that is good. And he just needs to keep cool so he doesnt get anymore. Love to cuddle I do!

** so my goof moment with this all??(because you know I have one) I was talking to my Sis-N-Law and telling her the scoop and why wouldn’t see her this weekend… And she is a nurse so I am trying to use official lingo and said well on Monday the doc wrote a note that he didn’t have vermicelli…. {{silence .. crickets}} Then I said wait that’s not right. Isn’t vermicelli a noodle.. she giggled at me and said the official word for Chicken Pox is.. varicella. Soooo I am a dork. Oh well. at least we laughed.

***SALE SALE SALE***

So have you been to the store? My whole section is on sale. Which includes all the new files that uploaded. I still have more to add, but they won’t make it before the sale. So visit my section and Lori is having a sale to after giving away all those files all week. Pretty awesome.

** So what do you have planned for the weekend? Anything fun? I am looking forward to some time home before the hospital visit Monday. But I am gonna miss seeing all the family Saturday night and friends on Friday night. But I will see them all again. And I won’t have to push my way through the rest of the relatives to see my niece and nephew they are almost one. Coming up in the next months. Wow. Time flies when your having fun!

Have a wonderful wonderful Friday!
Enjoy!
Chris

Well those of you who havebeen visiting me for a while Know I like this song on Fridays!!
Enjoy your weekend!!

One of those days…

July 23, 2008 By Chris Durnan

Ever have one of those days where you just can’t get your head in it at all? Well today is that day for me. Not sure what the deal is. So excuse me if I seem a little off.

I have some files in the works, but not completed yet. So that means.. On to life…
So last night it rained and poured. When it rains in the desert then everything gets flooded. They shut down the roads in parts because people will drive through them and then get to a point where they have to do a swift water rescue. Last night my hubby got stuck about 2 miles from our house on one side of the water. after about an hour a few cars tried to go through and made it so he called me. So I got in the big ‘ol truck and made way down there. Mind you it is full of trash right now because it is ready to take a load to the dump, but it is a diesel and old and I didn’t want to potentially sink my Expedition. So headed on down and there are about 14 cars lined up with people standing all over and this wash (river) is a running. So I put it in 4 wheel drive and made my way through it. It wasn’t deep and it was running but not uncontrollably. So we gave another lady a ride home on our way and made it home finally. We got up about 1030 and drove back down there to grab somethings out of the car on the other side because they were computers and we weren’t comfortable in leaving them out there in the middle of the dark obviously stranded. So this morning the water is gone and their are cars parked all over the end of the road. It is always interesting.. When we pulled up to the wash my son said… LOOOK MOM. It’s a RIVER. We need a BOAT. All the way home after we got Dad he talked about needing to get his fishing pole and go out with the boat. He is cute and gets super excited about things. Makes life fun.

Thank you again for all the emails! I really appreciate all your prayers.
Have a wonderful rest of the day!
Enjoy!
Chris
