dumpster diving!

hubby was on one of his walks and happened to cut through the alley, then noticed a store owner throwing away a huge stack of mat boards. a frame shop was moving and wasn't up for packing the extra mat boards... so he grabbed a handful for me... and of course noted which dumpster they were going into... came home, helped me with readying the kiddos for bed and suggested i get more... yes - i did indeed. my first ever actual-dumpster-diving for the sake of art-experience! i should've taken a picture of the pretty red dumpster they were in, too. ;) but check out the goods i got for free! ;) lucky-me!! ;)
