My first fabulous find is pixlr. I really wanted Photoshop but didn’t want to spend the money on it. Pixlr is a free website that lets me edit pictures. It’s easy to use and super helpful.
My second fabulous find is something that blew my mind recently. How did I not notice this before?
Have you ever had a rental car or a friends car and pulled up to the gas station only to realize that you didn’t know which side the gas tank was on? I have. It’s embarrassing pulling up, realizing you are on the wrong side, and having to turn around. Well, never again.
There is an arrow showing you which side the gas tank is on.
Here it is in my car:
See that arrow next to the picture of the gas tank? That is telling us that the gas tank is on the left.
I asked my husband for his car keys this morning and told him I wanted to take a picture of the arrow that points to which side his gas tank was on. He said, “My car doesn’t have that.” How fun is it to know something about your husbands car that he doesn’t?
Here is his:
His gas tank is on the right.
By the way, it took about 10 seconds to crop those photos on pixlr.

How funny, I've never noticed the arrow either. This will come in handy as my daughter is learning to drive 🙂
Pixlr….hummm. I'll have to do more with it.
I emailed you back, by the way. I can't seem to get it to work. Thank you for trying to help me.
Thanks for linking up, too!

I'll have to ask around and see if my friends know about the arrow for the gas tank. I have never heard that before.
I'm excited to try out pixlr. Thanks!
