Yes, those two thoughts are related.
My current tool box is lovely, lovely but broken. I podged it about 10 years ago with pictures of tools and sparkly things... because, you know... I wouldn't want it to look too manly or anything. Anyway, it wasn't till I typed the previous sentence that I realized how old the tool box was. And I was feeling bad that the tray was broken in it and that my tools were sort of breaking it from being too heavy and whatever.... but just realized 10 years is a long time to NOT break something like that... and I don't feel bad at all.
So, for the collage party, I may be collage-ing on a new tool box! Maybe a strong metal one. I was pricing them tonight when I was at Canadian Tire (that would be the hardware store for you non-Canadians).
Driving home, I decided to pull out the tool box. My door knob has been broken for some time now- to the point that I couldn't close my door, as I couldn't open it from the outside.. and could barely open it from the inside... I got locked out a few times, but I was able to break in from the sun porch.
I don't know how door knobs work. So I took it apart. That didn't help, but I was able to put it back together... and for some reason... it now works.
I'm very happy to have a door that closes.
And one that opens.
So I don't die in a fire.

Hey .. I know Podge! I think we call it Modge Podge. That's US for Podge?
Hey, if you get the right toolbox it has a lifetime warrenty, you just trade in for a new one when it breaks. We saw a classic tool box at Canadian Tire last week that was well loved and was traded in for a sparkly new one!
Never thought of decorating my toolbox. What a clever handywoman you are! (It is helpful to have a working door when escaping from a fire -- good job!)
