What A Beautiful Day!

It was such a fabulous day today, I'm sorry that I spent most of it indoors. We did, however, go out at around 4:30 to the basketball court (Jason and Mason did) as I walked on the wonderful trail that we have here. It was nice to get out and walk after all this snow and ice that we have had this winter. It was just nice to walk and clear my head. I have been so overwhelmed and stressed lately, some things in my control, others not so much. I feel better and hope that the temp. can stay nice for awhile so that I can get outside again.

I found this awesome auction on eBay last week and I HAD to win, I have the winning part of eBay down, if I want something that bad, I will bid, bid and bid up until the last seconds!! I thought this was really cool:



I don't know what I am going to do with them just yet. I have, all the sudden, become fond of old keys, they are really cool! I was at the store, right here in town that has 3 levels of junk, antiques, etc. and I found a few more keys to add to the mix. Some of them are old hotel keys, when was the last time a hotel used keys?!

I also found this at the store:



I am going to give everyone that reads this blog a chance to win something that I make (a Robyn original! It may not be as good a gift as Tim Holtz gives away, but I can still dream!). So this is what you have to do: Tell me how many buttons are in this Mason Jar and post it in the comments. Whoever gets the closest, WINS!! I thought that would be fun! The jar is filled up to the very top, so good luck!

I had Jason stop at a cigar/smoke shop today to see if they give away any of their cigar boxes. I could do tons of things with them, so if they are free, even better, right!! So, he comes home with these:



I was over joyed! They were even better than regular cigar boxes, they are all wood and have nice markings on them, I will have fun with these. Good job, honey!


I have been checking out the produce section a little more now that Spring is on the way, hoping to try something new. I came across this:






The label said it was 'Uniq' fruit, I thought it was an 'Ugly' fruit (well, it was ugly, anyway), but it was SO delicious! It tasted like a cross between a grapefruit and an orange. Yummy!

That's all I've got!

ooo...buttons....hmmm....I'd say about 850 give or take?
The cigar boxes are awesome! A friend of mine made collaged ones and filled them with goodies for Christmas presents back when we were in college. I love free stuff!
