If Jamie and Jen are doing it then I will too (I know when to lead and when to follow!). This meme is pretty fun to do and pretty to look at too. You choose the photos and we get to know a little about you. Some of the search terms turn up odd answers but what you choose says a lot.

Here's how to make your own (grab some paper and a writing utensil):
1. Answer each of the questions below.
2. Surf over to Flickr (set up an account if you don’t have one–it’s quick and easy) and type your answers (one at a time) into the search bar.
3. From the choice of pictures shown only on the front page, click on the one that moves you.
4. Once the page with your picture opens, copy the URL (I put mine into a Word document along with the code to the mosaic just in case).
5. Surf over to the Mosaic Maker, set up your mosaic, and paste your URLs. Click “Create!”


The questions:


1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you attend?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. What is your favorite drink?

Works for me Wednesday- Repurpose Your Business Card Case

My last job was the first time I ever had business cards of my own and didn't have to handwrite my name on the blank ones. So I went to the Coach outet and bought a super cute leather case in pink (purple came out later, grrr!).

Then I lost my job and all that cuteness stayed in the bottom of my purse like an old pack of gum. So I've given it new life.

The first is not much of a stretch as it involves business cards. I started keeping all the appointment cards from the doctor, dentist, pediatrician, nail salon, hair salon etc. so I have the office name and address of all our important contacts handy. Yes, I have them in my Palm and cell. But it was invaluable when I dropped my Razr (cheap piece of crap!). It died and I had to re-enter all my contacts into the new phone.

The second re-purpose came to me on a night out. I wanted to take a small clutch but didn't like the idea of my cash, ID and credit card loose inside.

I emptied all the above business cards and it fits everything perfectly. The case is easy to find in a dimly lit bar and I don't have to worry about something falling out while I'm digging for my lip gloss.
