1. This is my project for today's inspiration challenge! We were to be inspired by a website called Chasing Fireflies! By the time I found an item to be inspired by I was getting really fast and almost caught a fire fly! This is item that inspired me.
2. When I saw these fun little birthday hats, I thought of this new really fun new paper I just got from the Backyard Collection by American Craft. Its bright and cheerful and the butterflies are attracted to it!
3. I thought I would give this to the Photographer when its his birthday in April! I know when he wears it to work, the guys in the shop will all want one for their birthday. I think I could get rich selling these!
4. Hey, you know those food wagons that travel from construction site to construction site selling hot lunches to the workers? I could do a traveling birthday hat boutique! I could make hats that say *Foreman* ~ *Inspector* ~ *Superintendant*. No way they won't sell! They could even wear them over their hard hats, you know to *soften* up their look! I could probably get $5.00 each for them.
5. I will let you guys know how it goes. Then I will look into how to franchise a business! I will give you all a really good deal on a franchise cuz we are on-line friends! Snort!

I know the photographer will be wearing this ALL day!! He will surely love the variety of colors, and the brown polka dots are SO masculine!! HB to your DH!! (This is fab, Cindy!)

GREAT hat!!! Your story is a RIOT!
Can I buy a franchise??? My Hubby has sites all over the Caribbean where I could put up Custom Birthday Hats! HEY!!!! How about EVERY day hats??? Wouldn't that be great? They would be AWESOME! The construction workers could color coordinate their hats!

This is adorable, Cindy! I love how you make such wonderful stuff w/ just paper. I'm so jealous that you can actually use your paper so freely. Everytime I go to get some dp, they all just shake their heads at me *no, not me..no way...don't touch the merchandise, lady* and I have to leave empty handed. I guess I'm lucky the plain paper likes me.
