Make-Do Mondays: Make-Do Mousepad

At Make-Do Mondays, we discuss how we’re simplifying, downsizing, repurposing, buying used, and using what we’ve got.

It’s a carnival celebrating creative problem-solving, contentment, patience and ingenuity.

Make-Do Mondays with Ann

At the church garage sale, the Belgian Wonder and I bought a beautiful desk for my work area.

I haven’t needed a mouse pad until now, because the previous desk had an appropriate surface for the ball to roll on.

While working at this new desk, I was afraid of scratching the surface of the wood with the mouse, so I grabbed the steno pad I use to keep a to-do list and take other notes. It’s the right size and needs to be on my desk anyway.

Voila!
