So, apparantly I shouldn't call it "my idea"

Upon further investigation, someone had "my idea" about a decade ago. Wrap n mat's are already available online. They use plastic though for one side of the wrap. Bummer, I'll have to move on to my next million dollar idea. Until then, I'm still making a bunch of them, just because they are cool!

I'm saving the world one sandwich baggie at a time!

Ok, this might be a little cheesy, but I'm so excited about my idea! Check it out:




I made a sandwich wrapper that doubles as a placemat! I've been thinking about my kids going back to school. I'm actually not anxious for it, but that's another story. Anyway, I bought my kids some reusable lunch bags and it got me to thinking how many plastic baggies I must go through in a school year. And now, I'll have 2 kids eating lunch at school. I went to Etsy, my favorite online shop and searched for reusable sandwich bags. There were a few there, but they just weren't the right fabrics to excite me. So, I measured my bread and made one myself! Goose likes his alot (not pictured). He even told me that it was such a great idea that I should sell them. :) Anyone wanna buy a sandwich wrap?

Got this via email and LOVED it, had to share

Happy People Dancing on Planet Earth Credit: Matt Harding & Melissa Nixon


Explanation: What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing. Happiness and dancing transcend political boundaries and occur in practically every human society. Above, Matt Harding traveled through many nations on Earth, started dancing, and filmed the result. The video is perhaps a dramatic example that humans from all over planet Earth feel a common bond as part of a single species. Happiness is frequently contagious -- few people are able to watch the above video without smiling.

Now that you've enjoyed some dancing, why not consider a memory you've had with me and share it on my previous post... I'm feeling slightly neglected in comments lately!

Remember that one time. . .


OK, I've seen a couple of these, and think its kind of fun to reminisce (did I spell that right?) So, as a comment, write a memory you have of me. Any little memory will do. :) If you feel like posting a similar post on your own blog, I'll rack my memory for something I remember about you too!
