Garden and Free stuff!!

So I love it when our facility manager at work cleans out stuff. It means I get free stuff (that's how we scored our 4-tall metal filing cabinet and our 7-foot long conference/kitchen table) but, I am very happy about what I got this time! I totally scored some old school wooden file cabinets. Now, I know what you're thinking : What is that little Bry going to do with all of those filing cabinets? Well, now, I have been posting all my crafts and projects. Well, when I saw these filing cabinets sitting on the production floor, the ideas just started flowing into my brain. All the things I could do and make and create with these wooden filing cabinets. So, of course, I took tons of them. Oh, and I also got these awesome frames for FREE! They were sitting on the side of the road one morning, next to sign that said FREE. So I took them! They are (2) 3x3 frames with a picture of seagulls. (I'm pretty sure the only place these pictures could be truly appreciated is in Utah...) But I have a special mission for these guys, I am so happy I found these frames, they are exactly what I have been looking for, and I am so excited that I got them for FREE and I can finally start working on one project I have been DYING to do!!


Picasa. I have discovered the ease that is Picasa! All of my pictures are instantly on this program, and I can make cute little collages and fancy things! It's amazing! Plus, Picasa and Blogger are both a Google program, so - DING - they work so well together!! Thank you so much Ang for getting hooked into Picasa.



Garden. Lately, I have been ignoring my garden. It's not because I don't love it, trust me, I do. Mark eats the tomatoes out of it all the time. But with Mark and I's new project (I promise I will post about this next week!! I really do promise!) I have been so dang tired lately, that the garden just got pushed back. (I know, I have been crafting, but all the crafts I've done are so simple and easy, they really only take me 10 minutes - 1 hour!) But, I walk out and around the garden from time to time, and I went out a while ago, and found a few melons out there! I was so excited! I went out there today and found a bunch of little watermelons!! Yay! I am so very excited about those!! I took some pictures of our cute little watermelons!! Yay!!


One last project. It seriously took me 30 minutes. I had Mark drill the holes. I have tons of ribbon, ok not TONS, but lots. And I just have it all in a paper bag, but the spools keep getting unrolled. So, I saw on one blog a ribbon dispenser (she made hers out of an old MacDonald's sundae cup, well, I took it a step up and made mine out of a peanut bottle. One of the big'uns. I asked my loving and amazing husband to drill 16 holes in it (4 on each side) and now it holds my ribbons!! It is so easy too!! And, now I have ONE place where all my ribbon is, and it's so easy to get the color I want!
Well, Mark won his softball game tonight!! Woot Woot!! It was pretty awesome! And then we came home to find the ENTIRE house trashed, the Bandit discovered the trash can falls down and things come out of it, oh and that just about everything in the living room comes apart. So ya for that. NOT! Ugh!! Oh well, looks like we're just going ot have to lock him out from now on, which is too bad for him, cuz now it's getting cold. Oh well, he needs to be a good dog. We're working really hard to get him to be a good dog, we love him lots, we've got a long ways to go...
Lots of love - Bry and Mark
