I think they are a fad,but they are fun and quick to make,and help protect your surfaces,,notice I said YOUR surfaces...After 5 kids and 10 grandkids mine are beyond that stage.

Honestly, I don't have one but that's partly cause I can't imagine why I'd want one more thing to keep track of, wash, pry from grandbaby hands, etc. However, they seem so darn popular, I'm beginning to wonder if there's something wrong with me. Any ideas? Am I just a fuddy-duddy?

1st off thank you everyone for all the replys. Why didn't I think of that - room for a treat too. Of course! And I will admit I thought they were silly too- then my hubby bought me a new computer desk at walmart which is the fake wood stuff. and every time my glass sweats I noticed that it wanted to bubble up on the "wood" so I am going to make a ton of them and then i won't have to worry about that and they will catch the crumbs for my morning donut (bad bad bad ) And if they get stained I'll toss them in my furniture pile. I have a pile of old quilt squares that didn't make the final cut and I use them to put under customer's furniture when I have refinished their hardwood floors! Now that's upcycling!
