Oh yes, I did! And trust me, it's not that easy to do, either! I had 10 or so of these banners I was making. Obviously they weren't as easy to throw together as I had anticipated.
And then there was this:
What is it? Well, a perfectly set, Jell-O Salad. Why would I consider this a "blooper"?
Well, Jell-O and I do not get along. (click the link to read more) I think this is the first Jell-O I have ever made that actually turned out. And, it was good! Trust me, I'd already started writing the blog post about the failed Jell-O attempt. That's how confident I was that it wouldn't turn out! It's Jell-O, people! With stuff in it! These kinds of recipes never work out for me...and I mean Never. So, I'm sure it was a lucky fluke for me.
And, I have to admit that even though I was proud of myself...part of me was secretly disappointed because the epic failure was going to make such a great blog post!Plus, now what am I supposed to do? Can I still call myself a Jell-O making failure?

Part of a Virtual Progressive Thanksgiving Dinner
Oh, and P.S. I forgot to add..."I got the laryngitis"! What is it with me and being sick for the Holidays? This means we won't be sick for Christmas, though. Right? Right???
Jello-O is not something I serve very often, it is so messy.
ReplyDeleteGlad yours turned out just for Thanks giving. Was your banner the only one that turned out that way?
Jenny~ I actually hung the banner just so I could take a picture for the blog! :) And it was a banner for one of my VT ladies that I was trying to get put together. I didn't even notice it was strung backwards until just before I left, so I had to quickly re-do it! :)
ReplyDeleteOk, that was funny. I dont feel quite so despondent about my mess of a celebration. You banner is really prey hilarious.
ReplyDeleteGet feeling better. But you are right.... You have had your sickness for the year, christmas should be a breeze.
That banner makes me laugh - I actually love it. At first I didn't even clue in that anything was wrong - I think my brain must have just put the letters in the right order - ha ha!
ReplyDeleteYou are cute :-D
Had you not said anything about the banner, I never would have noticed!! (but that just proves my attention to detail) :) At least you can laugh at these blunders... or can you without a voice?? get better soon!!
ReplyDeleteHow can you yell at the kids with laryngitis? What a bummer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Jello! I would have loved to read the post about the failed Jell-O...maybe next time?
Your banner is quite amusing. Good you could correct it before taking it to your friend.
Take care and get better soon!
I hope you feel better soon. Is that jell-o Connie's cranberry recipe????
ReplyDeleteI love the banner! Put a smile on my face :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the jello turned out well.
I guess you were due for some good luck, considering the laryngitis.
My kids would consider it their good fortune if I were to get laryngitis.
What can I say ..... I have LOTS of talking and catching up to do :)
I sure hope you won't be sick for Christmas, that would be awful! Your jello does look good, sorry but you'll just have to deal with the success of it all! ;D
ReplyDeleteI just laughed out loud - that is the funniest picture ever! Thanks for sending me a link... Very cute blog and such a fun writing style you have. So sorry to hear your family has been under the weather... many wishes that you all feel better soon! :)
ReplyDeletePS - The "splatting" cookie was my fave... TOTALLY something that would happen to me!
