Thanksgiving Weekend Codes, Mom and Son Pic

By

SALE CODES BELOW…
but first can I just be one of those Moms that just lovesss her kid. Okay here is a pic today of me and my bumpkin. He had his performance today and wore his little suit and represented Ireland with his “I am Irish” stickers. He was happy to get to wear his suit and his grandparents got to meet his Pre-K teacher. It was wonderful. And now my hubby is getting ready to make pies. So I thought I would sit down and post the codes for the sale this weekend and also wish everyone a
HAPPPY THANKSGIVING!!
I truly am blessed in life and many of you are part of that. So thank you!

I decided that you can set your own percentage off by what you want or “need”.
First If you spend $5.00 you get 20% off. Code: CD5for20
Second if you spend $10.00 you get 40% off. Code: CD10for40

And that is your cart has to have $5.00 before the coupon after the coupon it doesn’t have to be over 5.00 to still get the 20% off. Same for 40% off of 10.00
Make sure you enter the correct code to get the most percentage off. The store will take only the one you put in. I will be uploading files as I can this weekend. Some old and some new. This coupon is now active and will be through Sunday. And you can use it as many times as you’d like.

I uploaded these to the store just now. As well as a few others.


Thank you for all your support.
AND Don’t forget to sign up for BINGO at the forum!!! Lots of new files being created for this!!

Enjoy!

two layouts

By

I have been working on a small flip album for hubby of our Annabelle. I used one of Chris’s files on each of these layouts. One uses her Reindeer file. I added Diamond Glaze to his nose and pen stitching on his antlers and muzzle.

The other layout uses her Snow title. This is one of the over 20 files in this quarters cutting membership group. Have I mentioned what a great value that is, btw? $20, and a minimum of 20 files – that’s a steal! If you haven’t signed up for her quarterly club yet, do! You won’t regret it! A new quarter signup will be available soon.

9 holes in the tire, Pre-K performance. New files.

By

I am running out the door to my son’s school performance. It is at 10. He has to go to school first to get prepared. So in the meantime we will be taking the truck back to the tire store to replace my tire. 9 HOLEs in my tire. the tire guys actually had to come out and show their admiration for me continuously proving their jobs are secure!! hahah. or maybe it was just to laugh at me. I told them. Hey I have been here in 3 months. So pretty much they said. Yeah you’ve just been waiting. wew! My son is excited about this performance and I will take lots of pics to share.

Next I have uploaded these to the QMC and 4shared in the last few days. Get them downloaded if you are a member or I will be sending out a code to the store for big savings this weekend and you can buy them individually.

Happy Early Thanksgiving!! Have a safe and wonderful weekend! and THANK YOU for being a wonderful part of my life.

Enjoy!

Pics of a rider and his Dad & off to the tire store. Oh yeah!

By

Hello to all!! Today I am off to the tire store. The tire store where “they know my name”. humming the cheers theme here. Really rather ridiculous to walk in to a tire store and have them know you. One time they in astounded looks said. You have three nails in one tire and a puncture in another and low on air in the last two. Well I keep them in business so they should just be happy. They also know I will show up with my laptop and create while I sit there. The smell of rubber tires is a weird creative vibe, but I get alot done because I can’t check my email because of their limited wi-fi. But thats okay. haha. So if you don’t hear from me this morning I am off to get the tires looked at. My hubby doesn’t want to refill it anymore.. or rather like every morning anymore.

I have a few pictures from my hubby and son riding on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and yes in the back of a few of those pics is a train. Right there next to the arena. haha. Our horses jumped the first time and could care less the 4th and 5th time it went by.
Oh and I added a Tony Bennett song to my playlist up top. Love it. Adding songs to it took me a bit to figure out. So I will try to add the others in the next couple days as well.

So here are my guys hanging out on the fence line watching the team penning. At one point a lady squeezed in and moved a bunch of horses over in the line. And my sons horse being smaller backed out of the line on her own. And my son says. HEY HEY HEY!! and the other adults who had been hanging out with him all day said. Oh Sorry! Did we squish you out! And they all moved their horses butts over again and Dalen pushed his horse up on the line again. Dad was grinning from ear to ear. It got to be be Dalen got asked for good luck by some of the older guys we know and Dalen would yell the whole time they were in there… Go Eddy.. good luck. gettem. Go Go Go Eddy. things like this. it was cute.

This lady in this picture owns the arena below. My son told me last time we bought hay from her he was gonna marry her because she had lots of hay for his two horses. ha. Practicality is good, but I am not sure I would ask him to marry so we could get good hay at this early of an age. hahaha.
This picture above is Dad and Son playing around. My little one has to force his pony to go sometimes she would rather sleep. So he gets mad at her sometimes, but she is very forgiving when he pulls on her mouth. And knows I will come to her rescue and tell him to time out and calm down and how would he feel if someone was pulling on his mouth like that. Then he is very apologetic with his horse. Sits for a minute. And then starts anew with a better attitude. For a nag, she does press her luck sometimes and is stubborn. So he has a twitch on his saddle that he just picks it up so she can see it is there and she will do whatever he wants without question. I think the people before us really used the twitch on her unfortunately, but for us it means my son just has to pick it up and she will see it and go. And he doesn’t ride her hard so all in all a happy relationship between the two of em. And this is the train next to the lot. Wow. It was closer then I realized when I looked at these pics.

Well thats enough for my show and tell today.
Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

New Bingo game Sign up today. Last Day for Dirt Cheap Deal. And my Anniversary!

By

Okay what a weekend.. I need to download the pictures, but we had so much fun on horseback playing with the cows. So more pictures on that tomorrow.

And as for today! Melody is our Hostest with the Mostest for Bingo and I have given her a bunch of files to give away as prizes and grandprize will be a membership to the QMC for Jan-March.
So jump on in. and here is the direct link to the thread at the forum to join in.


And next…. the Dirt Cheap Deal is still running at the store today is the last day. Here is the link. And then here is the code to get the Holiday Tag Package for $2.39 the code is CD_DirtCheapB.

And today is my Anniversary. I have been married to my fabulous husband for 7 years today. We did the unimaginable and stayed together the night before our wedding because we already lived together. And my favorite memory is my husband woke me up at 4 a.m. and said… JUST THINK IN 12 hours from now you will be Mrs. Durnan. you will be my wife. What a memory to cherish every year since when I woke up. My husband gave me a poem this morning that he wrote. It couldn’t be a better gift. I love it. Things have been tough as of late, but he is always the person I can turn to. The one I can count on for a hug and a smile. Oh and he has dreamy eyes. hmmm. wonderful! And the man can dance and loves to dance with me. If I get a chance later I will post some of those wedding pictures. My husbands fear during the wedding… That I would ask him if he was drunk at the alter. Because we would have ended up in a fit of the giggles. The first time he said “I love you” to me, we were at a rodeo and heading for the dance, I looked at him and said “are you drunk?” and mentally I was kicking myself over and over. DUMB DUMB DUMB Chris! What stop saying that. Insert your foot into your mouth before you say one more word!! My internal dialogue was brutal. And he waited another 3 months to say it again. And it was the longest three months, but now it has been the best and the most wonderful 7 years.

Well I am gonna go before I start to ramble and go on and on. Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy!
