T Stands For New Mug

 

Today you'll find me in my dining room.

I'm celebrating with my new mug I won.  More on that later.
 
Sorry, the lighting in this room is not the best this time of year.
 
I have my metal straw ready for the new mug and a spoon for my salad I made.
 
I broke my croissant top as I was assembling the sandwich.
 
I made tuna salad for the sandwich and a new to me pasta salad that actually incorporated several leftovers from my kitchen, including peas and bell pepper. 
 
Of course, the real star today is the new mug I won.  Last month I called in my pledge for Springfest, 26 at PBS.  The Spice Merchant was offering a gift basket to that night's winner.  As most of you know, I'm a huge fan of, and donator to Public Broadcasting System or PBS.  This mug was part of the basket of goodies, which was valued at $240.00 (USD).
 
Victor Hogstrom, President and CEO of PBS Kansas called our names (Bleubeard and Dr. Elizabeth).  He laughed when he saw our names, then after calling them, made a comment about Bleubeard, but I was so in shock that I had won, I didn't hear what it was.
 
I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.    
 
I've got a very busy evening, but will be by late tonight or early tomorrow morning to visit.

Congratulations on your prize, Elizabeth! Are you going to show us what else was in the basket! It is funny, because my TSFT ticket is also a mug I won! Your meal looks like my kind of meal! Happy T Day!

Congrats on winning. That is very exciting. And it's a cool mug. I have the same question Sharon asked. What else did you win? Happy T day hugs-Erika
