People always complain about wallpaper, but I actually like it. I don't have any in my house anymore (we removed the horride design that was in one of the bathrooms). I believe that when people think of wallpaper they think of granny wallpaper. You know, big cabbage roses, prancing geese, etc. I love the wallpaper at Grow House Grow.

Still seem to have a lot of plastic grocery bags? Why not roll them so they come out like wipes? Hmmm.....

My favorite periodic table of elements in pictures. And speaking of elements 2 new ones are about to be added.
