Bits & Pieces

Kids today and cursive writing

It is odd that I happend across this article today since my son (18) and I were just discussing this very topic a few days ago. My youngest (7) has just started learning cursive at school. I have always hated cursive - it may have something to do with being left handed or something but I've never been good at it. My son said that at a certain point - probably middle school, his teachers told the students not to write in cursive anymore because it was too hard and slow to read. I agree and see no point in it. I have been writing in block letters since graduation. Times are a changing.

Philips Simplicity Light Pen

With the Philips Simplicity Light Pen kids can write on the walls without getting in trouble. What a neat concept. Not sure how it works exactly but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Vintage Pet Food Labels

These pics of vintage pet food labels are kind of cool. The cowboy does look like one of the Village People though. Lol.

Diskette Notepads

These diskette notepads are cute and can't be hard to make yourself. If you're house is like ours, you probably have at least 50 old disks laying around uselessly. Hmmm...I smell a project.

This site has some wonderful ladies accessories made out of kimono silks.

Super Sniffer

I'm with Shiny Shiny on this one. Is it really so hard to take a sniff yourself to tell if something has gone bad?
