What kind of change have you made lately?
That's a pretty big question huh? Well I'll start small.
I was helped by family, friends and strangers.
You made a change each time you helped me, big or small. Thank you.
I helped family, friends, and strangers in small ways.
Each of those made a change for me. Everytime I am really able to help someone, cheer them up, or celebrate a sucess with them I am lifted a litte higher, my spirit feels a littel fuller.

I have been writing or taping some contact info on the backs of the cards I drop.
I really do want to hear back from folks that find them.
I'm pretty sure out of 100 I'll probably hear from 2. I'll take it!
I wanted to make that clear, and easy to do... so...I introduce you to the new style card. (not really that inventive)
You are really in for a treat Monday! My take on Ombre coming soon!

According to an email I recieved IT IS!
"Thanks so much for leaving this little card in the flower pot I purchased today. I picked it up, loaded it into the cart and finished my shopping. Not until I went to load the pot into the back of the truck did I notice a bright little piece of paper. I picked it up and it simply said Have a Great Day! Well---I DID! Thanks for the little pick-me-up, it came at a great time. -K"
I think this is the card/ticket she found, I know I dropped one of these at Home Depot the other day.

This project is fun.
I was walking around running a few errands, and I dropped a few cards along the way. The fun part today was finding just the right place to hide, or in one case, display a card.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Theodore Roosevelt quote
"Is anyone looking? Will someone see me and ask what I am doing? Do they think I am shoplifting because I am looking around and digging in my bag for a card and phone?" These are some of the silly thoughts I have when I am dropping cards!
I left one card in a pile of loose tennis balls, one in a covered serving dish, and this one, on a dinnerware display.
Here is a printable version of this card for you!

Excited? I am!
The lovely Liz B. from the University of Mary Washington left this little gem on the corkboard, and sent in a picture. There are always a hundred different things hanging on the boards at school, I'm glad this one caught Liz's eye, and she took the time to fill it in, and send in a photo!
Yay! This sure made a change in my day. Great kick-off. Thanks Liz!

The other day when I was at Michael's I picked up these little sentence strips in the teacher supply section (new to me, but hey, they had one).
I had no real reason to pick them up, but they were a dollar and I figured I could use them for something!
Enter today. I made a bunch of fill in the blank strips and left them at school, on a parking sign, and on the chalkboard outside a local cafe.
The little strips said things like...
My favorite person is...
I feel most happy when...
The thing that inspires me most is...
Don't tread on my...
** At the bottom I wrote : send us a picture of your fill-in! makechangedottodayatgmaildotcom
What do you think? I'm not really sure this makes change. like I thought in the first place. I think it can work, just needs some tweaking. They need to be more motivational for my liking. hmmmm...
I guess I need some ideas, any suggestions out there??

Have you made some change? Share it here and I'll send you chocolate and a make change kit!
How did you make change today?

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Success
