The gap…

Thank you Ira Glass – I wish I knew who to credit this to.

PR Daily have just released the most used (and overused) words in Press Releases. As always with charts go and read the explanation behind this – it’s not really the way it looks (the word solution was only used in 1.8% of headlines) Read the study here. – it’s always interesting to become more aware of the words we use.

This t-shirt made me smile – how could you resist writing on that?

Walls that talk…

by aileen on November 30, 2011

While we are on the subject of walls (see post below) I thought I should show you what I have written on my wall this week.

Behind my desk I have a wall that just has thin batons of wood attached to it. I have used it for photos, for post-it notes and now it’s used for letters. I use those typical sign letters on plastic that businesses use (we also use them on our mantlepiece above the fireplace). I love how adaptable they are. It’s easy to find used (and cheap) sign letters on ebay.

This week’s quote is from Napoleon Hill. “Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes” – I believe he may be right about this.

These plastic sign letters have so many uses. Drill holes in the top to make a banner, use them as a great tag on a gift, decorate your teenagers room. Maybe I will have to write a blog post about this. What do you think?

And the winner is…

The winner of the notebook from last week’s contest is Julia (as in “That’s a good idea Julia”).

I just couldn’t decide between the entries so they all went into a hat (or at least a box) and I drew one out.

We should do this again sometime. Thank you all for playing.
