Christmas was wonderful this year, as usual! Everyone was here and enjoyed the food and gifts. I'm busy today trying to clean and get my thoughts straight. The stencil arrived today and it is beautiful! I chose Gabrielle allover and it has two parts. It's very large, so I'm not sure if it will work on my little cabinet, but I'm going to try! I have it laying flat and weighted so that it can come un-rolled. It needs to be flat before I can use it. Did I mention that I received a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas? I was so surprised for I didn't expect one at this time! I thought I could download graphics like from the Graphics Fairy and use them on the machine but I can't seem to find out how to do that yet. If anyone who may read this post has done this, please leave me a comment on how to do it. I would really appreciate it. It's fun learning new things, but can be frustrating at times. I hope to go thrifting some time this week, hopefully tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find. Blessings from Bama!

| The blue package is the Silhouette Cameo. |

| The exercise equipment was an unexpected surprise. When we were at our friends' house the other day, he said he was going to run an ad for someone to get it for free! Needless to say, that ad was never run! I just got off the treadmill you see in the background, and I love the rush I feel afterwards! |

| The dough ferments for 12-18 hours and tastes amazingly like sourdough! |

| Smoked ham and about to be smoked baked beans. They turned out delicious! |

| Marinated slaw made with a whole head of cabbage. It didn't make much, and none was left! |

Windy day...tell me about it. I had the bright idea to try to spray paint outside today. Ha, I won't try that again. I loved seeing your Christmas pictures and I'm insanely jealous that you got a Cameo. I'd love to have one but don't know the first thing about how to use it, lol. I'll be on the lookout for your first project with it ;)

I love the outdoors, but I don't like the wind! I can't even stand having ceiling fans running! haha That Miele looks fantastic! Been thinking about getting something like that, but am afraid the cats would get hurt, or hurt it! Great going on getting the treadmill for free!
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures! What a lovely holiday! The food looked delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat is one YUMMY sounding and looking meal! Making my mouth water through the screen! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the gym equipment was a great find! Can't beat that price either!
