Today is:
National Checklist Day
National Breadstick Day
National Candy Corn Day
National Treat Your Pet Day

Carter Paper & Packaging wants to recognize a couple of fun days in loving memory of one of our former accounting assistants ... no she is not deceased, just left Carter Paper gone back to school and is often dead tired dealing with two (or three) children and a supportive husband in addition to everything else.

She was, and we guess still is, an amazing checklist maker and what sane person ever turned down a delicious warm breadstick!

The candy corn is another story, some swear by it, some swear against it, but this time of year it is often a tradition to give it a try and find it to be just as expected....bad or good!

And while pets should be treated well every day, today take some extra time to spoil your pets! Not just with extra treats or wet food, but with time and attention too!
Give that dog an extra 10 minutes of petting and play time!
Get out the stick with a feather on a string and see if the cat is interested in playing or maybe you will luck out and the cat will be in a mood for pets and cuddles too!

It seems like there is a day designated for anything and everything, which is both weird and fun.

We picked three of the 'Days' for today and here they are! :D
1. National Chocolate Day
2. Lung Health Day
3. Wild Foods Day

Since we like to share ideas....

1. If you like chocolate, enjoy some of the good stuff (or if it is not for you, share the good stuff with a chocolate lover)...and not that waxy $2 chocolate colored stuff, the real deal with as few ingredients as possible and a high cocoa percentage does not hurt either!

2. Find someplace with fresh air and take a few dozen slow, deep, cleansing breaths. And if you smoke or v**e, consider quitting! Your lungs will not be the only ones who appreciate the effort you take to do so!

3. Be careful with this one, but there are a lot of foods that can be foraged, less now that it is getting colder but still, from fungus to berries, roots to leaves and flowers, there are a lot of natives out there that are edible!

An odd combination of days that just might cancel each other out. :D
Cranky Co-Worker's Day and National Black Cat Day.
So....encourage your cranky co-worker to relax and enjoy holding a black cat, maybe the day will get much better!
Either way, do your best to not be that cranky person and if you encounter a black cat, they are not bad luck or evil (at least no more than any other cat LOL!). They are just in need of a few extra pets!

It is that time of year again when pumpkin spice is popping up everywhere!
You walk into a store or restaurant and the smell can be overwhelming!
It is also time to be getting those last minute details done for kids costumes and decorations for those trunk-and-treat events......or maybe for some it is just now time to get started!
Either way, we have the tape and cardboard boxes and sheets you need to make something amazing!
We also have all the wipes and cleaning supplies you need to get rid of the mess afterwards!
AND as an added PLUS none of our cardboard, tape or wipes are pumpkin spice scented. LOL!!!
