An art exhibit created by “trading” 4×6 postcards using textile art. Wow. You have to dig around a bit to figure out what Susan Lenz is doing. But it’s worth it. Check out her postcards.

The thing that I like about the Word of Mouth Marketing Association’s (of which we are a governing member) events is that I always hear some nice, juicy tidbits here and there. For example:

I’m a dog person. And one of my dogs is an 8-year old, 100-pound Chocolate Lab very appropriately named Mud. He didn’t exactly get the brains of the litter, but I love him nonetheless. In fact, I think I’ve learned some things from ol’ Mud that I can apply to the marketing world:
