The PocketMod

This is a really cool find. The PocketMod.

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one. Build a PocketMod now!

It’s changeable and it’s free.

SkinIt - Skins for Electronics

I just bought a new laptop and I was looking for some kind of protection for it. I didn't really find what I was looking for but I did find a skin. It can be a design they have, which they have more than 3000 of them. Or, you can customize your skin with your companies logo or one of your own original designs/artwork or if that isn't your kind of thing what about a photo of your kids? Either way you can personalize your electronic devices and it isn't permanent nor does it leave a residue. Right now you can get 25% off if you use the code 25FORYOU.

Just click the computer below.

A rich Halloween tradition is to decorate a pumpkin by carving a design into the surface of the pumpkin and placing a light inside.

How to Fold Paper Airplanes

As children, it's a right of passage to learn to fold a paper airplane. Some learn to fold many great patterns while others don't. I know how to fold one paper airplane, but I am a girl. I am not trying to be sexist, in my opinion and experience; boys learn to fold more paper airplanes than girls do. My daughters like to fly paper plans and often ask me to fold them. This led me to look for additional patterns online. I was happy to find a variety of websites with folding directions to more planes then I could ever care to learn to fold. But if you are looking for patterns, here are some of the best sites out there. more...

Free Patterns for Dog Coats and Boots

If you have a little dog, you know they are small, lack adequate thickness of fur for winter and get cold easily. Small dogs appreciate wearing a coat or sweater in cold weather. Even if your dog normally doesn't like anything on or around him, given the weather, you might find it a different situation. You can buy a sweater or a coat but the sizes don't vary much and usually don't fit well. Making your own, weather it is sewn, knitted or crocheted, you can alter the size to fit perfectly. Here are a few websites that offer free patterns for dog clothing. more...

Tips for making your own rug

Looped rugs have been used in homes for years both out of necessity as well as decoration. Rugs were first used as a floor decoration in the warmer months, and then as a blanket for warmth in the cooler months. While they are still being made, rugs are now made for decoration while some of the older ones are being collected as artwork. The materials and tools used to create them are just as varied. The term looped rug is generic in nature and can result in a discussion about either a hooked rug or a needle punched rug, these are the more defined terms. In either instance, yarn or fabric can be used to create the rug. The materials can be new or recycled. more...
