I'm listening to my husband and a friend try to take apart a very solidly built bookshelf. It was built by my father-in-law and he really made it solid. Over-engineered would be a good description. It's too large to get it down the stairs, in spite of the fact that it was moved up those stairs.

There's this one screw that won't come out. F-I-L filled the hole with wood putty or something. He did this to two of them. We think he was going to hide all the screw heads, but decided against that extra effort after the second one. The shelf was probably built in 1982 and that wood putty has been drying and hardening ever since.

Hurray! They got the screw out. There were a number of different tools used. The screw has been destroyed in the process. The shelf has been disassembled enough that it is going down the stairs as I type. Phew.
 
:clap:
So stoked!
Our Community had their Craft & Bake Sale for the first time in two years!
I love to participate in this, when I can.

I planned well in advance and made only 2 items this go around.
Half-sized Bundt Cakes in Rum and Kahlua.
I made 12 of each flavor over a period of time, froze them,
and the night before the sale I defrosted them on the kitchen counter.
I had kept all of my display "stuff" from past events, so it was
no problem setting up.
I got a cherry spot in the Hall, right as folks walked in the door,

BAM!

There I was.

(well, no, that's NOT me :))

I offered free samples again and this time got to have one
of my Neighborhood Gal Pals at the table next to me.
She asked me, "How on Earth did you score us these tables? This is prime real estate girl!"

In English, it's kinda like, I'm nice to you and you're nice to me.
Whenever I have some extra baked goods or the sort,
I share it with the gals in our Community Center who run
the show around here.
It doesn't cost you anything to be kind.

Anyways, I sold out of all of my cakes 2 hours prior to
it all ending :huh:
I hung around for awhile with my Gal Pal and then went home
to take a nap! :LOL:

Here's the kicker, my Mother does cross-stich and needle point projects throughout the year and had several finished pieces that she wanted to try to sell at the Sale - she sold out faster than I did! :ROFLMAO:
 
Yea K-Girl!!

Me? Just waking up from a nap. Cats do not understand Daylight Savings Time, thus they woke me at 4 am.
 
Woo hoo! Good for you K-girl!

Thanks gals!
Ya know, I handed out over
ONE HUNDRED
free samples of Cake.
I was busier doing that then schmoozing :LOL:
My Gal Pal said that my packaging got folks' attention,
then the samples (some men came by multiple times saying that they just had to try another taste :stuart:)
 
I sure hope more Craft Sales start up around here again soon.

Not only for the holidays but the summer months of Fairs as well. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for next year!

Glad it went well for you Kgirl. You worked your bu** off for it! :LOL:
