Thanksgiving Bloopers

Things were going well enough until:


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?

Find the recipe here:

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???

  1. Jello-O is not something I serve very often, it is so messy.

    Glad yours turned out just for Thanks giving. Was your banner the only one that turned out that way?

  2. 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! :)

  4. 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!

  6. How can you yell at the kids with laryngitis? What a bummer!
    Congratulations 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!

  8. I love the banner! Put a smile on my face :)
    Glad 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 :)
