NICE Assignment: Leave a NICE Note

Recycling is good. Which is exactly why I'm recycling an assignment from last August. I figure I have so many new and different readers now than I did 12 months ago, so it might be a great time to bring back the NICE Notes!

Remember these?

This was one of the most delightful assignments I've ever participated in, so I'm ready to give it another shot. Who's in?!

Today's Assignment: Leave a NICE Note

Please, feel free to download the pdf here or create your own note, or just write a message on a napkin or piece of scrap paper. You can leave the address of this site or have it be completely anonymous. It's all up to you! Imagine the surprise someone would experience from finding your note. This gesture doesn't cost anything, and it's sure to make a person's day! So what are you waiting for?

If you happen to have a camera handy, I'd love to see a photo of your note! You can post it in the Operation NICE flickr group or email me, and I'll be sure to share it with everyone right here on the blog. Thanks for participating!

What a wonderful idea for a blog!

I recently printed about 100 of these to keep handy in my purse, and have been leaving them all around!

I dropped one on the floor of my dads car that said "I couldn't have asked for a nicer dad!" I left one on the Starbucks counter that said, "have a happy day!" and I dropped a few on the ground that said, "have a sweet day!" Then just last night I gave a few friends some blank ones in the hopes that they'll pass them on! I love these! I'll send you some photos soon =)

Hi Melissa,

I'm pretty new to your site, but absolutely love what you're doing here. I actually posted something in my blog today about some random but meaningful notes I came across on a San Francisco street corner last fall--and gave a little shout-out to Operation NICE and your idea about leaving NICE notes.

Keep on inspiring!

With gratitude aplenty,
Holly
