NICE Assignment: Make Wednesday a NICE Day!

Guess what! This Wednesday is the one year anniversary of Operation NICE! Holy cow, can you believe it?! In one year I've made 310 posts (counting this one) that, in one way or another, focus on the idea of encouraging people to be nice. I'm so proud!

So I'm hoping that you, my trusty army of NICE, will join me to make this Wednesday an extra NICE day!

Today's Assignment: Make Wednesday a NICE Day!

Here's my plan. On Wednesday afternoon, I'm going to explode in a fit of kind gestures at Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. More specifically, I'll be handing out flowers to strangers with little Operation NICE tags on them.

Would you like to play too??

If so, I made a download for you! Just click here!



You can hole punch them and tie them on with a string:

Flower tags

Or wrap them around the stem and staple:

Flower tags

And then hand them out to unsuspecting citizens. I gave the one in these photos to a woman on the street. She seemed stunned at first, said "thank you," and smiled a huge smile. You can get any kind of flowers from anywhere. At my grocery store, I can get 30 carnations for $10. That's 30 big smiles for $10, which seems like a bargain. I'm going to see if there's a nice florist in Center City that will maybe give me a good price because I'd love to get a lot of flowers. And I mean a lot!

So what do you say? Will you join me in making the Operation NICE anniversary a special occasion???

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! I wish I could get over to RHS today to see you and help out. I was sick for a few days myself and am stuck catching up in the office now. I hope you are feeling better!
