SATURDAY-AFTERNOON and A plumber story and some challenges

Hi Friends,
I got up and out early today. I had to get to the local craft store, the lumber yard, staples and the post office. I put a roast in the crock pot before I left and the aroma is really making me hungry, right now.   I figured I better get in the art room and get something posted before it is too late in the day.  I have been pretty busy on the art project, hence the trip to the lumber yard. Unfortunately, it did not turn out how I hoped, but in evaluating the situation I decided to make do with what I have for the display.

Last week, we had to call a plumber. God bless my husband, I asked him if he could fix the sink faucet that made this high pitched ear piercing sound.  He did, it lasted for awhile and then the sound came back along with dripping. The first time the plumber came out he fixed the faucet, but the dripping under the sink was even worse, AFTER he left..  Long story short, I pulled everything out from under the sink and  got rid of a lot of unnecessary items.  Although I had saved this for some reason and now I know why

This is one of those containers that clinque gives out with purchase with purchase, and inside are all the little sample sized goodies.  I decided to transform it to fit a couple of challenges and also I have some parties coming up where I will need to give a hostess gift.  If I put tissue in here, and  a small gift no on will be the wiser and what a great way to recycle. This was not on the side of the sink where the water was dripping, plus we had a little bucket uner there to catch the drips.  Just for those curious minds.

Her is my finished piece.  I love the way it came out.

 I used three different paper designs from My Mind's Eye (I just love this Christmas pack)

 Beside the metal tag, I have a metal brad holding the three tags that were made using a Sizzix die

 This is the close up of the Thank you tag. It is one of those making memories curling tags.

This is the bottom and this is the end of the post

Thses are the challenges I am entering
Crafty Sprouts: Tag it
Frosted Designs:Metal
Docerela:3D project
2 Sisters: Holiday
Go Fish: Any thing but a card
The second time the plumber came out, he fixed the drip. We needed new turn off valves and some other supplies plumbers carry. I'm just thankful it is fixed.  We will use these plumbers again.  Happy ending. My husband was my hero  again.

What do you think do you have any good plumber stories?
