The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have to listen. - Nike

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I was home alone all week, so did what I wanted, when I wanted to.

Ok, there were limits! The grass got mowed, the seldom used appliance cupboard got cleaned, I sold some stuff on a local Buy, Sell, Trade on Facebook, I went to Peace River for an evening, went to a retirement party, watched within the last half hour of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (then the cable lost signal), and Sunday supper was early so everyone could go to the Demolition Derby!
It's rodeo time!

I also made these.......

BROWNIE BOWL SUNDAES (a brilliant dessert hack!)

http://todaysmama.com/2014/07/brownie-bowl-sundaes/

Ingredients:
- Your favorite ice cream
- Your favorite brownie recipe
- Your favorite toppings

Spray cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray, and add brownie batter to each cup until they're about two-thirds full.

Spray the second muffin tin with cooking spray and place on top of the first tin of brownies.

Bake!

Not sure what went wrong, but we usually eat our mistakes!!!

I needed a card to make up for skipping one for an occasion earlier this year!
It had to be awesome...............

I made a Never Ending Card!

OMG........I printed the instructions out in black & white.
Then in color.
And at Step 7, I had to watch the video.
3 nights of starting, and not getting anywhere; I. Got. It!
After that is was FUN!
Not sure how many I will make, but I finished it tonight.

I know the picture quality isn't great!

This is the front..........

 
Next.......

 
And then.........

 
Last one........

 
Hopefully I'll be forgiven!
 
I'd like to get in a few challenges this week; not sure how that will work out!
It's forest fire season..........
It was soooo hot last week, we didn't work on the House in town!
We're back to the grind tomorrow!
 
I DID get my firepit furniture painted!
 
Hope you're well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
 
PS:
This is turning into the "Never Ending Post",

It's Marianne, go say HI!

If you want to be happy, be. -Leo Tolstoy

Hello, thought I should get back into practice!

I made a Birthday card before I left, and haven't posted yet!
It's a 'guy' card, and was well received!


Been working in the yard, and at the house in town.
I'll have to find a 'before' Picture.
The deck on the house in town was 40' long, and 10' wide.
Faces south.
No one used it.
We're cutting almost half off, putting lattice around the bottom (darn cats!), and putting up a gazebo, for shade.
It will be lovely!!!
Hoping to finish it tomorrow, if it doesn't rain!
The gazebo comes Wednesday!

Our fireworks for Canada Day were a big hit!
Everyone brought a package.
We lined up spectator chairs; set the fireworks up by the dugout, and waited for dark.
Who knew there was so much smoke!
It was already foggy!
The only one who didn't enjoy them was Shadow, she turned into a large lap dog!!
We know for next time! She'll be going in the porch!

Better go, I came in here to make a couple cards!

Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
