February Sketch Challenge

February 6, 2013 By Chris Durnan

Finally getting back into digital scrapbooking and my commitment to Chris as a member of her CT. Ileana provided this template for the February Sketch Challenge and I have used one of Chris’s file from the last QMC .

Lachlan “pretend” sleeping. He is so funny!

Layout created digitally in PSCS5 and styles and textures have been added to the cutter files to add dimension.

Thanks for looking,
Cheers, caz

Planting seeds

February 5, 2013 By Chris Durnan

Last weekend I planted some seeds. I wanted to get them rolling before the heat sets here. I had bought a flat of strawberries and used the containers like mini greenhouses so the birds dont get them and they dont get overwatered with the drain holes. The table is expanded steel and waist height so no bending. My fabulous husband built it for me a few years ago. Handy to know how to weld. Also the expanded steel is great for water and dirt to drain/fall thru. I love it. So hopefully this is a great start.

Hope you had a wonderful day!! Don't forget to stop by this weekend for our Heart Hop!

Enjoy!

Animal Moments

February 5, 2013 By Chris Durnan

Our more recent animal moments. So our Freckles border collie likes to eat in private. She sneaks in the house and eats and sneaks out. She doesn’t even like me to see her eat. She isn’t aggressive and I can walk up to her. Just sneaky eater. Interesting.
Our fuzzy Pennzoil kitten likes to crawl up in the lap if possible. And Montelious aka Shorty prefers to sleep in the sun in a flower pot. 🙂

Feb 1st – SMART

February 1, 2013 By Chris Durnan

It’s February 1st. Time to mix up the motivation.

I saw this S.M.A.R.T. graphic at Simply Motivation on facebook. Wow awesome. Puts it in perspective for me. I need to re-evaluate every month and start fresh. A year is just to long to wait.

So no Freebie Friday today as I am working on lots for the VDBC heart hop. 🙂 So much better then the sock hop.  And I am taking over my blog for some goal setting and journaling.

So Some SMART goals for this month.

Health:
1) Join the Rhoads Fitness Plank Challenge. For those of you who do not have facebook. here is the direct link to the month countdown. Here is a plank image and the muscles worked.

2) Join the Simply Motivation Burpee Challenge. I have never done one of these. Had to look it up. So if you are interested in them, here is a wikipedia explanation. 

Also these two ladies, Rhoads to Fitness and Simply Motivation have great motivational Facebook pages. I have them in my newsfeed and always brings me back to remembering fitness.

Creative:
1) Create some Print and Cut files to share. (now that I have done it an actual print and cut)
2) Etch some glass
Why do I have to list these things? because I get so busy and cannot remember what the heck it was I wanted to do when I have some down time.

H&H – House and Home
1) Clean out the Dining Room and Laundry Room cabinets. (ugh)
2) Get those seeds started for the garden
3) Paint the garden arbor and wrap it in chicken wire

So I think that is it for the Feb goals list. Amongst everything else we do in life it may seem small, but gotta fit it all in.

If you have a list and want to post it here, I welcome it in the comments or in the forum thread. It’s gonna be a fantastic month.

Have a wonderful weekend!
I hope you have time to Create and…..
Enjoy!
Chris
