Chef Chris

Presentation is everything and I think Chris has got it together. I am thinking breakfast has become his specialty. The picture he took is extremely perfect in angle, colors and a definite masculine style.

To God be the glory,

Breakfast with Chef Chris

Just finished having breakfast with my son, Christopher.

Egg and sausage tacos with berry garnish.

I woke up hearing music and noise in the kitchen so I got out of bed, went to the living room and saw the back and front doors were open allowing a cool gentle breeze to flow through the house; such a beautiful morning breeze. I continued forward and was pleasantly surprised to see my son making breakfast. We chatted a bit then I got dressed for the day. When I saw how lovely he had prepared my plate and felt the morning breeze blowing I decided we should eat breakfast outside. What a wonderful way to start my Saturday.

What a wonderful world,

Christopher's Graduation

Congratulations Christopher!

I can't tell you how proud I was to see my youngest son graduate. It was both a bitter and a sweet moment because although he is still my baby I realize that he is a grown man.

 The start of signatures are on the shield Jared made for Christopher.

Jared made both sword and shield.

Now it is hanging on Christopher's wall fully signed by friends and family.

 Congratulations Son! I am so proud of you.

Friend, thank you for visiting and being part of the special times of my life.

God bless you.

Touches of Burlap Thank You Cards

With a congregation of approximately 300 people, handing out invitations, thank you cards, Christmas cards, baby showers, birthday parties and announcements can be a costly event. So, throughout the years those who attend our church receive their cards at the door as they enter in or cards get handed out once church is over. We still mail cards to friends and families sharing our joyous moments with those we love.

Now that Christopher's graduation is over I wanted to make the cards unique and add a little bit of burlap to give the cards a more masculine look. For the cards that we will hand out at the church I wrapped with a burlap sleeve instead of the envelope.

   I can used the envelopes another time since there are so many paper crafts ideas for cards. The cards that will be mailed I applied burlap on the cover with a little wooden letter P. I pressed one side of the letter in blue ink.

The steam caused the paper to curl (first picture below) but a dry setting took care of that problem. Now the cards are ready to say "Thanks" to our friends and family.

Thank you for the visit today and for keeping me company while I worked on this project. I enjoyed sharing it with you.
