One Whole Year!


It's been a fabulous year. When I started this project, I never knew what would become of it. I figured it would be another little blog that I posted to maybe once every other week, and the only people stopping by would be a few of my internet friends. But the response was huge, right from the beginning, which assures me that there are so many really NICE people in the world! I hope you still enjoy stopping by because I'm so glad that you do!

I have 120 carnations (minus a few morning commute casualties) ready to be passed along to unsuspecting citizens. Here's one for you (pic on right)! I hope that you have thought of a small way to make today a little extra NICE.

Yesterday I told you about Jennifer Marr's plan to treat her coworkers. Well this morning she sent me a picture of her gesture!

Extra-NICE


Isn't that so great?! I love it! Thanks for playing along Jennifer! If you decide to participate today, I'd love to see a photo or video of what you've done. Email me, I'll share it with everyone here!

Cameron - You are absolutely correct! A few people didn't give me an order but I didn't want them to miss out on the anniversary celebration so I got them gift cards! It was a great day and lots of fun!

Congrats! Today as been 1 year since I started blogging. I can't believe it's been that long and I still can't believe that I committed to it :)

But I love what you did with the flowers, that was very sweet and I'm sure that the people who received it was truly touched. So Happy Birthday Operation Nice!

My pretty awesome wife got one of these flowers yesterday at Rittenhouse, and she loved it!

Read her story about how she passed it on at her blog:
