Thank God for the little things. School has yet to start after the lovely holiday vacation, so in a desperate attempt to entertain my two youngsters, I found this great little app.

I believe it’s creators were being a bit modest as they describe it as being merely a notepad. It’s packed with lots of really great features and with a little imagination or desperation, as in my case, you can transform this so called notepad into an open canvas.

You can import any image file type for whatever purpose that you wish. You have 4 different brushes in which you can make any color of the rainbow and variable sizes, plus an eraser! You may use a mouse or even a tablet with a pen to utilize it’s tools. It also has adjustable background types, in which you can actually make completely transparent. I particularly liked this. As you can see pictured below, I loaded one of my favorite desktop wallpapers, moved the background to transparent and began to replicate the image underneath. Needless to say, my children and I were completely entertained for hours. (link)
