What a weekend, and yes I had to work today!
I cooked on Saturday!
Ham, scalloped potatoes, the works, made a Raisin Sauce for the ham!
It was DELISH!
Here's a picture of the dessert that made everyone smile!
Including Vanessa, cause it's her favortie color! HA!
Just google Clouds & Sky...all it is is jello & whipped cream!
But just what we needed!
The fun didn't stop there!
For our next trick....after supper, dessert & wine............
We; Vanessa, her friend & I went to unload the treadmill I bought, and Vanessa brought!
Ray forgot where he lived, and wasn't home!
Vanessa:"It took 3 guys to get it in here"
Hers is the white SUV.
I went & got the furniture dolly, and we slid it out onto it.
Both tires were flat!
We got it to the steps outside on the flat tires.
With Vanessa & I on the 'Heavy End'- that's what it said,
and Carol at the top of the stairs, we pushed & pulled it to the door.
Carol flipped one of my entry way rugs over, and we slid it the rest of the way into the kitchen!
I made Vanessa take pictures so she could "PROVE" that 3 women got it into the house!
Here's the sad, flat tired dolly!
I need you to notice all the SNOW we still have!
The disaster in the entry way!
Here it is........in the kitchen!
All 335 lbs of it!
Here's Carol & I with our farm gloves on!
And our boots & shoes; told her not to worry about it!
Then on Sunday, Vanessa & I put it together. TWICE!
OMG!
We got it together in the kitchen,
and it wouldn't fit through the doorway of the bedroom it's going to live in!
Ha, we're both taking pictures of the unbelievable NO FIT!
That was ok though, because Vanessa had dropped one of my little screwdrivers into the handle part, and we couldn't get it out without taking it apart!
There you have the rest of the story!!!!
It's resting comfortably in the master bedroom, which is humongous;
it has it's own spot, and Ray won't be home when I use it anyway!
We put a little table there for my CD player, cause I listen to audio books while I'm on it....
Only I might check out an ipod!
I have an MP3 player, but we can't get a book to download onto it!
Yes, I've had it to the computer store, the library,
and anywhere else they might know something about it!
I need to find a home for all the stuff that came out of the bedroom!
Including that little computer table on the left!
Think I'll take it to the second hand store!
I did make a few cards last week!
I tried this technique I got from my friend Myrna's blog!
I made 2 of them!
The second one, I made some pretty trash, cause I tried to run the lattice through the Xyron!
Run the cardstock through the Xyron before you use the die!!!!
They're very pretty!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

What an accomplishment!!! I think you got in your exercise just building and re-building it, lol! Have fun! If you get an ipod, look into getting an ihome for it. I have that in my craft room and use it everyday!!!
Your card is so lovely. I really love that lattice die.
Those desserts look awesome Gail and as always it's such fun reading your posts, thanks for sharing.

What an accomplishment!!!! Good thing you have a big bedroom.
Dessert looks sooo tempting.
Love the card. (thanks for the shout out). I am glad you experimented with the Xyron on lattice. I will not make a mistake now as I contemplated doing the same thing but didn't want to ruin the lattice.
I can't get a book onto mine either and even bought another one; but no luck.

Three women to move a treadmill ... don't think I would want to mess with any of you! Pretty card with the lattice. And every time I read your blog, I end up going to my fridge to look for some food ... what's up with that???!!!
wow, never a dull moment in your home, eh? you must be very proud of yourself, with a little help from your friends to move that thing. :) your card is very pretty too. can't believe you still have so much snow!
Oh, I so much feel like Linda - never a dull moment, despite hald a meter of snow and whatnot! Great card and I also love this sky & clouds dessert! I am keeping my fingers crossed for spring to reach you soon, too! It looks like it will start here for good mid mext week - there's hope!
Well I must admit the colours of your dessert took me back a bit...But, I'd be willing to try a good mouthful lol..
Don't you have a great time Gail...Bet it was fun trying to get that machine in the house and like you say..Okay it was three women! I could have helped lol..easy peasy for us girls the laughing would take the hard work away! Think if you left it in the box and kept taking it inside and out you could all get a work out together! ROFL.
LOve your card...The cutest of images..and pretty colours too.

A fabulous card, I love the floral image and the colours and it certainly sounds like you had an adventure with the treadmill
