Celebrate National Punctuation Day

by

I am a firm believer in thwebqspainte proper use of punctuation, so imagine my glee upon reading The Washington Post’s (note the use of a possessive apostrophe) Metro section this morning that today is National Punctuation Day, founded by Jeff Rubin in 2004. Learn more about National Punctuation Day HERE. To celebrate, the founder is hosting a National Punctuation Day baking contest. Submit your baked good in the shape of a punctuation mark before September 30th for a chance to win. As I’ve done all kinds of punctuation cookies–question marks, semi colons, and more–this would be right up my alley if I actually had a kitchen yet. Find details on the site HERE.

P.S. The question mark cookie above is from my web site, proof of my punctuation cookie history.

The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
