Frisbee, Disk or Flyer?

There's a new ultimate frisbee course going in near my neighborhood. That place was a weedy eyesore, so I'm glad it'll be better used space. It reminds me of my college days, when I played a game of ultimate frisbee.

I had imagined the game to be a friendly throw and catch game. I was wrong. The males on both teams were out for blood. And I was a disk thrower on the wobbly side and a disk catcher on the, well, occasional side. I didn't last long.

However, that wasn't the last time I played with a flyer. I threw for a bit with one of my sons last fall. We had a fabulous time. And we were evenly matched, my 10 year old and I.

But I have no idea where that disk ended up. With warm weather approaching, I need to get another. I was looking through our catalog and saw two disks that were 100% recyclable. One even has an "enhanced biodegradability additive." I pictured me throwing a disk into the branches of a tall tree, or having it miss my frisbee partner and ending up in a river. Yes, with my frisbee prowess, I could see the value of an "enhanced biodegradability additive."

Have you ever thrown a frisbee? Do you call it a frisbee or disk or flyer??

A Weakness for Journals

I am a writer. That means many things, including....a weakness for journals.

Confession: I currently don't keep a daily journal. I go in fits and starts, and right now is a fit. But I still have a weakness for the smell of paper and the clean white potential of a page. So when we get a couple samples of Journalbooks, I'm excited!

8 months ago I made this product video on a faux leather JournalBook called the Pedova (that journal a beaut):

 

 I didn't feel right about sniffing at the book cover in the video, but I like the smell of book. So I took a whiff off camera. 

This is a recycled cardboard Tuck Journal. It's currently on CLEARANCE!

I have one of these pocket bound Ambassador books in my purse, so I can jot down great ideas when my muse strikes. 

 

And this journal has crisp pages sandwiched between a cover of aluminum. Classy and unique!!

Do you keep a journal? What kinds of things do you jot down?

Tangerine: Color of the Year for 2012

I'm always on the lookout for trends that affect promotional products. I stumbled on this article that announced the color Tangerine as the Color of the Year 2012. After reading that article, I've run into tangerine (in various shades) throughout the promotional products industry.

These tumblers and H2Go water bottles:

I spotted tangerine on these imprint-able Rally Bands with hidden Flash Drive.

  And I found tangerine among these Dulcine Click pens.

Tangerine is a bright, happy color that grabs attention, which makes it promotional color well-suited to snag impressions for business logos.And tangerines are tasty too!
