You may be wondering, “Why call this blog Lil’ Orange Paper Clip?” “Why choose an orange paper clip, and not a red or yellow or blue one? What does a paper clip do anyway?” You see, orange happens to be my favourite colour and it represents FUN, FREEDOM and FLEXIBILITY among many other characteristic traits. =o)
And as for paper clips… Well they clip paper of course. I know you know that already. But do you know the full history of paper clips? Paper clip designs were even valuable enough to be patented! ^.^ The Early Office Museum website has the details and an amazing gallery of the different designs. Click here to find out more.
Paper clips keep sheets of paper together, holding them fast. That is how I want to keep all my thoughts, by holding them together in one place so that I can refer to them later… And guess what? I’ll share my thoughts with you too if you like. And we can shape these thoughts, find answers to questions, muse about quirky stuff, and learn a little more about life together day by day! =oD
