Let's get our creative juices going and Try a New Technique for Fun at Work Day!  Before we get started, here's some trivia and ideas on how you can have fun at work today, or any day.

How did it get started?

I can't seem to find an exact time, place or date that it started. But really, who even cares as long as we lighten up and have a little fun with our day-to-day routine, right?  If anyone knows the answer to this, please post a comment.  What I DID find was this quote from Thomas Edison, "I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun!"   We might not all have as much fun at work as Thomas Edison, but the fact is when we're having fun, it doesn't feel like work.

How to Celebrate Fun at Work Day

• Wear something to work that will make everyone chuckle!
• Switch offices or desks for the day.
• Do something silly every hour, on the hour.
• Organize a potluck lunch at the office. And while you are at it, why not have a potluck lunch every month?
• Have a gift exchange with only gag gifts. Just make sure they are appropriate for the office and your co-workers.
• Watch the popular 1980 film "9 to 5" and/or a few episodes of "The Office."
• Invite your co-workers out for a few drinks after work.

Please check with your supervisor before engaging in any "fun" at work!

Ok, back to work now. I found this project Stampin' Success, a monthly magazine specifically for demonstrators. It's quick, fun and easy to copy. 

Here's what you'll need to create the project as shown.

• Creped Filter Paper – #129393
• Stampin'Up! Classic Ink – #126986 Island Indigo; #126984 Lucky Limeade; #126956 Pink Pirouette
• Brayer – #102395
• Card Stock – #100730 Whisper White (2-1/4" x 4-1/4")
• Stamp Set – Oh, Hello #130730 [wood mount]; #130733 [clear mount]
• Baker's Twine – #125572 Lucky Limeade
• Cute Clips – #129939 Elements

I'll be trying it myself as soon as I finish this post.  Check back tomorrow see my creation.  Meanwhile, get out that brayer and give it a try. 

Stampin'Up! has a short video on this technique but again, it's only available to demonstrators.  Darn.  I guess there's only one way to get your hands on the inside scoop…. become a demonstrator!  Join during Sale-A-Bration and you'll get more product to get your business off to a great start.

Join the Fun!

Now, let's get to it and Try a New Technique for Fun at Work Day! Don't forget to check back later this evening to see what I've come up with.
