You used to have to stand in line with this giant box of pads, big enough to get noticed by the hot checkout guy-and the hot Brawny guy(if you're an 8 year old who actually likes mustaches) was all you needed to see when selecting paper towels.

My 4yo usually makes a bigger mess than an inch of PT. I can't believe they are still on the market. (I think it is a conspiracy and it is not clearly labeled on the pkging)<BR/><BR/>And as for 1 square of TP (are you kidding me!?!?! - maybe we should just carry a damp wash cloth and rinse it out in the river somewhere) LOLDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422078423068675465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-66088667366921909452008-11-09T14:37:00.000-06:002008-11-09T14:37:00.000-06:00This turned out so cool ... love it!This turned out so cool ... love it!SmilynStefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01803913506632383364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798914461149907138.post-29740067876804187632008-11-09T10:01:00.000-06:002008-11-09T10:01:00.000-06:00LOL!

I was reading your comments on not knowing how to use an iron, and my peripheral vision was seeing a piece of paper that looked scorched right as you were saying "your inner voice will know when it's done" and I almost spit up my iced tea, thinking that maybe you didn't have an inner voice with an opinion on when ironing was done, so you scorched it. But it was just So Saffron being brayered. Much less excitement than I was expecting, but I love the technique. Too bad about needing an iron, though.<BR/><BR/>I miss the kitty-while-you-work photos.
