Happy Friday

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !

Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily. And the theme at Smile on Saturday is money box. And guess what ? I have a collection of piggy banks :-). All my piggy banks are exactly like the one you see in the picture but different sizes. I started this collection 14 years ago, when I had my first son. I’m always putting my coins in my piggy banks and I try not to empty them… My biggest one weights almost 20 pounds !!! It is full of coins but I also put some bills …So who knows how many millions is there in this piggy ? Maybe I’m super rich ! Seriously I doubt it but I must admit that I stoped overspending during the pandemic… Isn’t that awesome ? I’m keeping my money for a family vacation when it will be possible again.

I just hope we will be able to travel again before my sons are adults…

Have an amazing day my friends !! See you later !

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!

Today is an orange day at Color my World Daily and we celebrate boxes at Crazy Tuesday. And of course today is also Happy Teddy Bear Tuesdays which I like very much !!

So happy orange/boxes/ Teddy Bear day to you all !!

And what is more fun than playing hide and seek in yellow origami boxes ? Playing hide and seek with a friend ! So that is why Mr. Teddy Bear invited his longtime friend Wiktor. Mr. Teddy Bear is in a red zone and he lives alone, which means that he is allowed to have one visitor and one visitor only. This is perfect for a small get together with Wiktor!!

At first Mr. Teddy Bear wanted to do some cleaning of his garage but then seeing all the boxes Wiktor and him decided to play hide and seek AND do the cleaning after ! Everything was super fun until Mr. Teddy Bear found a box full of Valentine’s Day decorations… Of course, it fell from the highest shelf and all the hearts were on the garage floor… That is when our Teddy Bear started thinking about finding love…Who knows maybe a box full of hearts was a sign ? Maybe he will find his soulmate very, very soon ! Who knows ?

Not me and I have to go since there is another video meeting in 5 minutes and I need my coffee very, very badly !!!

See you later my friends !! And have a beautiful day !

And just for your information , this is my picture number 308 !!! Will I make it to 365 ??

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and healthy!! And see you soon on Flickr !!

and ive got boxes of its okays

I wrapped up joy

I wrapped up laughter

I wrapped up happy ever after

Looking close...on Friday.

There is a book called Life in a Box by JoDee Neathery.

I must admit, I haven't read it. But the title is agreed upon by Jeffrey.

For the Happy Caturday group theme "Books".

I'm quite busy these weeks, so isn't so active with comments as usual. But I see and enjoy every photo in the group.

When I got up this morning, I found my cat in a box of light~

made me giggle.

In the Santa Catalinas in Arizona

These communications boxes look in real need of a fresh coat of paint.

Thanks for watching, stay safe.

is a box of love. This box holds letters from my daughter when she was serving in the Army National Guard in Afghanistan. Christmas ornaments made by my kids with their pictures in them and birth announcements of my Grandchildren. The necklace belonged to my mother and isn't usually kept in this box but it made the pic more interesting. It makes me smile.
