Playing with a virtual keyboard.

By

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!

Doggie Thank You

By

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.

By

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

By

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

CATFISH!!

By

So I picked up my kiddo from school and his first comment was… The teacher didn’t call you did she? And I said well No. But did you get in trouble. He says NO, but she was very serious. I told him what is most important to me is “how HE is” That is my priority. So I asked what the other kids did that they shouldn’t have. Apparently after one little boy (We’ll call him H) had his name called he yelled out Catfish. The appropriate answer would have been Here. My son told me it was the hardest ever to not giggle and that his stomach hurt so bad because it was funny, but the teacher immediately looked very serious. So he knew he should be very quiet. And so the teacher said… Let’s try this again…. H… and the correct response was given. HERE. and the day moved on.

I told this story to my hubby later in the day and we just giggled over it. I can just imagine my son trying so hard not to giggle. I feel for the teacher, but it gave us a little giggle. Which is good because this morning my husband called me and said… “Okay I dropped him off a little early so he could play and I went to leave and I didn’t want to. ” I love my husband. I truly do we seem to feel and live the same emotions and we handle them together. It is hard for us to leave our little one. We wanted to get him to school just a little earlier so he would have a chance to make some friendships and play with the other kids. But we also stand there and think which teacher is watching which kids, who is watching the kids???? And we know they do this all the time. Children make it without their parents eagle eye. Totally get that. but this is my kid. My kid. hahaha. I said “Babe we are empty nesters at the age of 5” he laughed I laughed. We laughed and giggled. We are dealing with all the milestones in life and are sooooo proud of him, but it is a good thing we know how to laugh. We really love our life.

Have a wonderful day!!
Enjoy!
