Beautiful Gifts

I was a recent winner of day 8 of  Lilly's Life 12 days of giveaway:


It was 10 pairs of beautiful MARVEL earrings! It's so fun getting lovely gifts in the mail at Christmastime! Thanks again Dear Lilly!

Yesterday I was at the gym and saw the attendant with a pair of huge pliers cutting through a padlock on one of the lockers.  I had to inquire as I had never seen this being done before.  The poor lady had locked her locker with the keys inside!  Isn't that maddening?  I have a combination lock and hope I don't one day forget the combination.   This lady even had a lanyard necklace off of which she hangs her keys.  Yep, it was inside the locker!

How absent minded of her, but I guess it happens to the best of us. Lol. Those earrings look great!

Thanks Christine for the shout out. So glad you won and I hope you find something there that you will wear. Maybe Christmas Day! It is great to think there they are now in Canada and it wasnt long ago they were in Australia.

RE the keys - that would have been horrible for her - no laughing matter. I could imagine doing the same thing but you would hope that the gym had a spare set of keys. Do they I wonder? I have locked my keys in the car plenty of times......

Lucky you! Those are great earrings.

I have a combination lock for the gym. I keep the combination on a piece of paper inside my gym bag, and if I haven't used it for a while I'll look at it to refresh my memory. I often come home to shower and don't bring the bag, so if it's been a VERY long time between uses I'll write the combination on my hand before I close the locker up.
