I guess this is kind of like my blog version of an Out of Office Alert. I’m off to Trinidad to speak at Eventology TT. Got my bags packed (check) and my presentations complete (check). I look forward to getting back into the blogging swing of things when I return. So, stay tuned for the announcement of the Eventprofs Blog Awards Winners!

And by the way, the fruit fly sign worked. I haven’t seen a one.

Now although my projects were a bit tongue in cheek, rest assured I’ll be re-labelling my files, my drawers, my shoe boxes, my hobby boxes, the tupperware tubs in my basement (I have no idea what’s in those).

Question: Have you ever used a labeller? If so, what’s the most creative project you’ve ever done?
