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!!

Don't expect a great day; create one. - Author Unknown

Hello everyone!
I know I've been MIA.
It's not for lack of trying!
I tried talking to you on August 23/ that didn't happen!
My old computer just wouldn't upload my photos.
I bought a new computer; just to have Kalen tell me he needed a new computer for school.
Merry Christmas Kalen! He paid half, and I gave him my new laptop!
I've had MY new laptop sitting on the futon for a week!
I finally had a minute on Thursday-ish.
I need a computer literate 8 year old to help me!
It's bits & pieces here & there!
I had to download the watermarked images site again etc.
So if there's extra words on the photos just laugh or ignore them!
I'll get it figured out; I just use the free one!

I don't have anything crafty today so feel free to carry on!
I should be getting my jam made too, so I can go help the kids with the sidewalk blocks; then there's Sunday supper!

As you know, Vanessa & Harley got married when they went on vacation in June!
We had a BBQ pot luck social for them August 22 in their backyard!
It was wonderful!
So many people came, and it was great fun!
We decorated, a friend made the guest "board", we made the little take home treats, had a photo booth! You know everyone's having a good time, when the person taking the photos gets the giggles!

This was my offering! A dessert & a salad!

 The "Guest Board", when it gets hung in the entry, I'll take another picture!

 A friend made it, and did an awesome job!
 There's a lot you can do with plastic & balloons!






 It was such a lovely day. Everyone had a nice time, and the selection of food was amazing!


 Photo booth & props!

 Some of my peeps in the smoking section!!
No one smokes!!!



 Good golly, finally get the pictures up, but I can't move them!!
This is part of the HUGE ugly entry, that got painted & decorated in time for the big event!



WTH, I can't add photos, so if anyone's got any advice I will take it.
I really have to go & make my rhubarb jam!
September 18/15
It was my browser! New computer doesn't have internet explorer, so we tried Firefox!
I'm in business now!
Must go get my stuff together for Firepit Friday!
It's inventory tomorrow at the Drugstore, talk to ya soon!

Hope you're all well!
Talk to you later!
If I figure out the pictures, I'll edit this post!
