BLOG HOP!!!!


If you've just stopped by for a visit,head on back to Ambers blog to begin the hop.

You should have gotten here from Miwas blog. 
If you haven't already guessed..I'm Christina but my friends and family call me Chris.


I made it to the next DT for CC and I couldn't be any happier!
Well I could if I was sitting somewhere warm typing this post..
Brr it's cold here.

 There are a few things you should know about me.

I snort sometimes when I laugh.Can't help it.

My favourite flower is a pink tulip.

I had the most awesomest (that's a word right?)car when I got my licence...
a 1978 Camaro!!
I miss that baby.

My favourite colour is green..no red..no pink..wait I can't decide..ask me tomorrow.

I am not a perfectionist as my mother likes to say..if I was my house would be much cleaner than it actually is..I just like things done ..
my way.

Nothing wrong with that is there? 

I mean when I am working on a project I do want it to be perfect don't we all?

I think my first project turned out pretty awesome..even if I do need to tweek it a bit...well maybe my mother was right....





I always wondered what it would be like to live in the 1800's and  have to wear a dress like this all the time. Might be interesting..they scrapbooked back then didn't they?


My second entry most of you have seen and it's one of my favourites.Not sure how I'll ever top this one.




I loved making this house.I added so many little surprises that each time you look you see something new.My DD couldn't keep her hands off it so now it sits up on a shelf until next Halloween.

Well those are my projects and I'm sure you'll love the next one you're about to see at my good friend and fellow Canadian Corries blog.

 Just in case you get lost..

    Chris, I'm having trouble coming up with the right words. First, your projects. Awesome doesn't do it. That dress and the house. Fantastic. Creative. Knock your socks off terrific. And your fun facts? Love them. Love your sense of humor. I'm so glad we have another term together! Craft on girl, you inspire me more than you will ever know.

    Those projects are AW-some!! That dress is so pretty...I don't think I could have worn something like that though back in the day...I mean you'd have to wear a corset and I like to breath too much to wear one of those. I'd rather have the paper version! That haunted house...stellar! SO much detail, wish I could see IRL!

    I still love that haunted house and all the pictures of it. So much detail in it. The dress is awesome too but since Halloween is my fav holiday the haunted house will always be my favorite project by you. Unless of course you come up with a new more awesomer Halloween project!!!

    Amazing projects chris!!! Love them both!! The first car I ever bought was a baby blue 1976 camero my dad wanted me to get a sunbird and after dismissing every car he took me to see he finally have in At my mothers request to go look at this car and said if you pay you can get it so I worked 2 jobs in college and that car lasted me 150,000 miles until the floor boards rusted through but was in excellent condition on the exterior!!!:) congrats on the DT team!

    Really cool projects, I still love the haunted house one, very impressive! And just FYI, one big pastime of ladies during the 1800's was quilling! Maybe not enough to satisfy your papercrafting jones but at least they played with paper!

    Hi Chris, love the dress, it is absolutely beautiful. Your house is really wonderful too, wish I could see it in person. Love Canada by the way, my hubby and my favorite vacation spot is Collingwood. We use to go yearly but haven't been able to the past few years. We come up during November for our Anniversary and love to go to Owensound for the festival of lights. Looking forward to working with you.
