Tranquil Polaroid photography by VioletJulia

June 30, 2008 – 5:37 pm

Links to above photos: bird, trees, horse, pillows.

Foil boxes have a roll holder…my mind is blown

May 16, 2008 – 3:45 pm

lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.
