Look what came in the mail. Isn't he cute! My mom is going to love it (she collects owls). 

 

Listen to the story of how I found it online: 

 

One of the blogs that I follow Tweeted about a giveaway that another blogger was holding for an Etsy shop. I followed the link and signed up for the contest (didn't win). One of the ways to enter the contest was to visit the Etsy shop and report back saying which item was your favorite. The Etsy shop is Audrey's Country Crafts. She makes / hand paints ornaments, bookmarks, blankets, bags.... you name it. Very cute stuff - fast shipping too! 

Anyways... While I was browsing the Etsy shop I spotted this cute little owl for my Mom and snatched it up. Know how I paid for it? I paid for it with money that I received from viewing ads online via www.youdata.com. Pretty cool, huh?
