Notelet

A baby Note Taker that is. I was surprised to learn that Notelet is a real word. Pretty cool. I’m not adverse to making up words but it’s always nice when you want something like piglet and there’s actually a word just like it waiting for you. One of my testers, Candy Glendering, created a…
