Take Out Menu Organizer!

I bought this menu organizer last year to hold all of those take out menus that we order off of. This is such a clever idea that I had to share it with you all. I didn't want to praise something that I didn't think worthy. This is worthy, it has a pouch with your very own "What Do You Want" tickets so you can write down everyone's orders. It has black and red pens and it has the greatest instructions for using this organizer.

There is also a place to store your most frequently called numbers. There are sections with plastic sleeves for you to put your menus. The best part are the "Takeout Service Record" slips so you can record an employee name, if your delivery was early or late, how you rate the delivery person, and the condition of your food. I stick these to the outside of the sleeve for the restaurant that I order from, so I can try track how their service is. Is that cool or what?

An Original Idea!

I have to say that I am astounded by those that think they have an original idea or that someone may have come up with something before them and now they are "offended". From my perspective and it is just that, I don't feel like anyone really has an original idea unless they can honestly prove that they came up with the idea.
As for those of us who design and create jewelry, it seems to be a sticky subject. Well, I ran into this today and I have to say I was taken aback that someone thought I copied them, when I have being making my bracelets for some time now.

So, if you read my blog and are offended, I'm sorry, if you are not offended, think about what you say before you say it! I just had to get that off my chest.

Moving on to the next thing on today's list. BTW, I downloaded this picture from Microsoft's clipart.
