| Kids and Tools... | | I have noticed that pre-teens and teenagers have a habit of taking tools and leaving them all over the yard. My Mom and Stepdad have battled this problem for years with my two younger brothers and various foster kids. Hubby and I also battled it with foster kids. It's aggrivating to buy a nice set of tools only to find a screwdriver stuck in the ground, a handsaw laying in the snow or a bunch of nails and screws scattered on the ground. I now have 2 toolboxes and no one is allowed in them without my permission.Do your kids do this? Are you constantly having to replace tools that are lost, broke or left laying and ruined? Do you ever make your kids replace them? What's the most expensive one you've had to replace?**AT PEACE WITHIN**~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ | |
| | Storage for eyelets and brads | | If you are like me, you have collected a ton of small things for scrapbooking, like eyelets and brads. I needed a place to store them so I could easily find them and they would be all together in one place.I got to thinking about what I could use and then it came to me. I had an empty bead box with lots of compartments in it! Everything I have fit nice and neat into it and now when I need to use an eyelet or a brad, or some other small item, it is nice and neat and all in one place. I can easily transport it from point A to point B when I am going to my friend's house or to a scrapbook store crop.On www.gather.com, some of the other people there said they used old fishing tackle boxes, tool boxes, even spice jars for their small items. All of which are great ideas. What are some of the things you use to hold your small pieces for scrapbooking? | |

Hopefully out of site of their significant other cause I wrote it, it wasn't his fault and he doesn't deserve to have the look! You know the look I'm talking about. The one he gets when he comes in carrying a shiny, expensive purchase that makes him almost delirious but he neglected to discuss with you first. Luckily the tool induced delirium we men are subject to acts as a shield against the look but if he got it after you read this topic title, you might want to stop reading and call him an ambulance. To date there have been no look related fatalities reported but there's a first time for everything. What is it about tools we love so much? Is it that we feel more in control of our world if we have the ability to take it apart, lose a few key parts and put it back together again so that it now makes that satisfying odd sound? I love tools and I would venture to say in actual dollar value, my tools signify a far greater percentage of my net worth than everything else in my house combined.

| | myLot on Mobile.. Great Idea..!? | | well, mobiles have gone far from call making tool boxes. now you can browse the net, check email, and you can even moblog these days.
i wish mylot also starts a lighter version for mobile phones. Its just like moblogging. of course i am not into moblogging but i will buy a costlier phone like Nokia N Series for mylot on mobile.
It will be a great idea and greatly useful for people like me who cannot spend much time before their desktops. It also enhances the emotional sharing far effectively than in a moblog and earn a little bit without much effort.
i suggest a name for it too:-)
mobile + myLot= momy.com (first two letters are taken)
what is your opinion? | |
