IDEO: We let you bring your toys to work

IDEO kind of sounds like heaven. A conglomeration of brilliant people to bounce ideas off of and make something beautiful with.

What hit me the most was how supportive and excited the leaders were. It was the most positive and cohesive working environment that I've ever seen. No hierarchy or negativity. Just free-flowing ideas and a deadline.

Thanks to IDEO, I now look at brainstorming in a completely new way. I don't worry anymore if my ideas are too crazy to construct. I just go. My next brilliant idea: floating pillows for the work environment. They'll be invisible, so the boss won't even be able to tell when you're snoozing. Patent pending.

Etsy Addicts Anonymous

Hi, my name's Shannon, and I have an uncontrollable Etsy addiction.
It's gotten quite out of hand, really. If you haven't been to Etsy.com before, you should most definitely check it out. Just make sure you have a good 5-hour block cleared out for browsing. Different artists post their handmade art on here for selling. Everything is handmade and beautiful.                        

These are my latest find.
They just kill me.

Most definitely try browsing by color. It's quite fun.
