i love going to asia - the journey itself not so much with an 18 month old but the food is fab and i also love that you can get pens there that haven't made it to the US market yet!
check these out! these are called friction pens. they are ink pens (think like smooth gel like ink) and 
the AWESOME thing is when you apply friction, the INK DISAPPEARS!
how cool is that? it isn't like those erasable pens of past. this is gel ink that reacts to a temperature change that is provided by plain friction. so very cool.
it has been a LONG couple of days with baby noah. he isn't feeling well (and this time we think from the 18 month shots) so all he wants to do is for me to hold him. i have never seen such snuggling from him since he was a tiny baby!
check back tomorrow - i am going to attempt to create some ornaments for our tree and will share my creation tomorrow!
What a cool find!! Very interesting...
Hope Noah feeels better very soon!
Happy creating!
