From zanyholidays.com: Right-Brainers Rule Month celbrates those creative out-of-the box right-brainers that are often critcized in a completely left-brain dominant world. Yes, we may do things differently then everyone else but we get the job done in a way that works for us. Most right-brainers are left handed, which reminds me of a poem I know:

Here are some famous right-brainers: Leonardo DaVinci,Michelangelo,Raphael, Picasso, Lewis Carroll, Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Paul McCartney, and Jimi Hendrix.

Hey, Monica Ricci of Catalyst Organizing is a guest on the playground to boot! How fun!

Decoupage post card door

As promised, here is a photo of my postcard door (creative organizing show 5/13/08)
I printed vintage Florida post cards on Post-it photo paper.
Then I arranged them on the door.
They didn't stick around the edges, so I got out the Modge Podge and decoupaged them all on.
Mixed in are some vintage pictures of my family on Florida beaches in the 1940's and 50's and some of my own little clan at Florida theme parks and beaches.
