my inspiration today

i've been totally inspired this week by a wonderful group of women ... entrepreneurs ... with amazing business ideas.  my biggest take home today was "notice what you notice".  yesterday it was "no idea is silly".  so i am going to share with you my idea ... my business ... and i would love to know what you think.

firstly let me tell you something i noticed, and i noticed it because my friends were asking me for help with fundraising for organisations they were involved in.  it was:  "what can we do to raise funds for our organisation that is creative, useable, noticeable, it is actually something that people want not what they feel they have to buy, what is something that they are going to keep using and is branded but not in your face???"

now i have a background in marketing, so i thought i would have a good answer these questions ... but it probably wasn't until today that i really thought a lot more about it ... and have come up with a solution ...

"a heart to give" which is all about creative fundraising.

my first project under this banner is a line of branded clothing, that people want to wear and keep wearing "a heart to wear". the second, "a heart to use", is a project that i have personally been working on since the floods in brisbane: reusable functional art in the form of chairs.

i will write more about these projects another time ... so watch this space ...
and keep watching for more inspiring birdie stories ... the motivation behind "a heart to give".
