Random Notes From My Files

by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on February 22, 2007

There are sticky notes everywhere, and I can’t see the monitor anymore. I’m trying to clean out all my notes, so this post is very eclectic. Consider this a post of my “post-it” notes. It’s just random bits and pieces of things that amused me, but then I’m easily amused.

For those of you who have to go out into the real world to work, I have a few silly things to lighten the mood.

Every now and then, I go to the Despair site to get a giggle. Click on “Demotivators (by name). Scroll through the Demotivators by category or view all Demotivators.

Or, link to the Curiosity Shop, and order this slingshot pencil for $8.50. That’s a small price to pay for the mischief you could make around the office.

Over at the Sprout site, you can get the bandages shown below. I don’t know about you, but they make me want a paper cut. Bacon AND Egg bandages? Or, just Bacon bandages? I can’t decide. For $4.95 each I want them both.

At Craftser, long ago there was a contest of creating miniatures. This was one of the entries; it’s a triptych painted on bottle caps, by an artist named Roethke. Her site has some other interesting items of artwork including wearable art, dolls, postcards, paintings and more.

If you want artistic inspiration, you can learn about a quilter I saw featured on television. Her name is Carolyn Mazloomi, and she describes herself as “a quilter who happens to be African American.” This woman is self-taught! Her work is so impressive that she has exhibited many times at The Smithsonian.

Enjoy your day.
