I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison

I am seriously trying to get my $#!& together to blog somewhat regularly..........it's not working!
|I HAVE made some cards, only because my aunt ordered them, and I'm going there this week! 

I'll show you those, then you can get on with the rest of your Sunday!

Wedding card my mom requested for this weekends wedding!
I'm meeting her in southern Alberta.


 One of the 2 Christmas cards I did.
The die cut church & trees is really quite glittery, but of course is not showing up!


 I just have to put the last 2 cards together this afternoon!
I've also made 2 Halloween cards........
I'll show you those when I get back!

The kids have hooked me up with Netflix. 
Harley figured out how I can upload photos, and got my wireless printer to work on my new laptop!
I'm in business!

One of our friends families built a cabin down by the river on their land.
This was last months photo!


 This was yesterday!



 We just go hang out for the day!
We take lunch & something for our coffee, and it's an all day visiting session!
We were missing one of our peeps, hope she's feeling better!

This will be a short week for me, as I'm leaving Thursday for the wedding!
We're moving our office closer to town.
Hopefully before I leave!
I'm getting a new windshield on Tuesday, and we have our monthly meeting(supper)! 
The van gets cleaned on Wednesday, supper with some gf's,  & I have a doctors appointment to see when I can get the screws out of my foot.
They are causing me a lot of grief!
Good thing it didn't rain all summer, I couldn't even get my rubber boots on!
I asked this same doctor about 6 weeks ago about getting the screws out of my foot, and he said  if he needed to fax a note or something they would.
The following day one of the women working at the clinic called me & said that the letter they had got from my surgeon, said that he'd take them out after a year.
So I'm thinking .....that was that!
My surgeon told me, he could take them out after 6 months.
He also sent me to physiotherapy to "Retrain my gait."
We can't 'retrain my gait' as long as I'm waiting for it to hurt while I'm walking!
It doesn't; but it might!
It's just so swollen & bruised all the time.
And tight, and hot, and angry!!!
I have a metal allergy........pretty sure they used deck screws and they need to come out! 
The people at the clinic are gonna jerk me around so it will be a year before the screws come out!!!!

Anyhoo, that's what's been going on!
Hamburgers for supper tonight at the kids!
I've already been there to help hang the Guest Board from the social!
I didn't make a dessert  but I did make cookies, and took some there!

Hope you're all well!
I' really hoping to make this a weekly thing, and maybe even join a challenge or 2! Famous last words!
Talk to ya later!!

Wow you never slow down do you? Good on you.
Enjoy your wedding.
I had a week in Creston and a lady I know there asked me when I was going to my second home (Calgary). Thought that was kind of cool.
Had hoped to pop in and see your mom but time didn't allow.
Now I have 4 boxes of apples, 1 huge box of beets and 2 boxes of plums to do something with.
Take care and yes, your cards are beautiful.

Gail, first, those 2 cards are just lovely. The embossing in #1 looks very dimensional & deep. I LIKE that folder, or else it's the card stock you used. Also love the scene in #2, and it's an EF I have not seen. Second, you are busy enjoying life, which is much more important than blogging and making cards! You can never recapture this time, so you go for it! Hope you get the foot screw problem handled, and I guess your health system is a bit different from ours in the USA, but if you've a metal allergy, you need to bug that dr before you develop another problem! (Health care ain't what it used to be here either!). Loved seeing your pictures - and you will LOVE Netflix. Saves having to lug along DVD's when you travel. Check out Acorn too, if you like British series. It's well worth the price, and not expensive either. I pay by the year. Get a free 30-day trial and see if you like what's available. I did it 2 years ago when Acorn was premiering Series 6 of Doc Martin. Saw what else was available, and I pay annually rather than monthly. It's worth every penny and so is Netflix! Have a great time away. TFS & Hugs. Hope the foot problem improves so you can get to therapy. The therapy does help with recovery.

"Famous last words" - LOL! Fabulous cards; the wedding card is downright spectacular! Couldn't agree more with Mary, though: enjoy the time with friends and all your summer activities... the first snow and time to be at home and craft and blog will be there too soon as always! Hope your foot will shape up and that the screws really do come out soon! Have a great time at the wedding and at all other events, small and large!

FABulous cards Gail...I LOve your pearls and swirls! LOve that you've made a Christmas card too.
Sounds as though you have a busy time a head.. Hope the weather's good for the wedding..If you haven't moved office before you go? Don't think about it..time to sort out when you get home.I'm sure if they do it whilst your away your 'stuff' will still be boxed when you get hom..
.I've wondered how your foot was doing..Yikes you need something doing NOW if you've an allergy to metal.
Don't think you'll get time to make cards lol..once you start watching Nexflix, to much going on and lots of box sets too.
