Annie the turtle

Hi friends!

2011 is gone. However, its last days were very special to my wife and me.

Our 6yo daughter – MaLu Dias – published her first book. ‘One Special Day’ tells the story of Annie the turtle.

She created the whole story and drew the scenarios. Characters in the book are photos of MaLu’s plush toys. This way, we just give her support on editing and publishing her book at Blurb.

You can see a preview of this book below. And, if you like it, you can order a copy from http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2923553?ce=blurb_ew&utm_source=widget

David Webber, the Community Manager of the Universal Record Database (URDB.org), told me about this website and some amazing records they have there.

You’ll get a greater sense if you check out the site, but they gathered a few papercraft related records. Here are a few highlights:

  • Largest Origami Cube
  • Widest Duct Tape Flower
  • Shortest Greeting Card Collection
  • Most Paper Airplanes Stuck In Hair At Once
  • Most Paper Airplanes Constructed And Flown In One Minute
  • Slowest Time For Cardboard Box Parachute To Descend 15 Feet

So what? Can you beat them???
