Anyone with good ideas for a Door Decorating Contest?

Make a sign that says "Christmas Past: This Way" and ask everyone in the office to find a picture of them as children during Christmas time. You can then enlarge them on a color copier and hang them on the door. You can even have a little contest (be aware of your company's contest rules) to see if your coworkers can guess who is who. Perhaps you could put pictures of favorite kid toys from when you were young on the door also. It may also be fun if you have pics of past office parties. Have fun with it!

A friend of mine had an idea that worked for her. She offered a free one room "re-design" party. The basic concept was that she would re-design one room in your house using only stuff you have around your house. She would take out all the furniture and start from scratch. She would go all over your house picking out items that would look great in the re-design. And then she would put the room back together using stuff you already owned.\n\nShe made it into a party by having me send out invitations to friends of mine (sort of like the candle, pampered chef, etc parties). They came sometime in the morning (between 8 and 9 AM) for just a few minutes to see the "before" of the room (my living room) being redesigned. Then they would go on their way (or they could come the night before if it suited them better). My friend set a certain time for her to be done and my friends came back at any time between 5 and 6 to see my redesigned living room and have some refreshments. It was open house style - they didn't have to stay very long it they couldn't. It generated some business for her - I know my MIL and at least a couple of my friends hired her for their homes after seeing how she redesigned my living room.\n\nFor my friend, at least, it was a great way for her to get her name out there to lots of different people with very little expense (I think the most expense was creating the invitations). I mailed the invites and handled the refreshments. She did all the work - had her hubby help with the heavy lifting stuff.\n\nShe also teamed up with the local newspaper to do a local version of "trading spaces" where she did the interior design of both places.

That depends on your taste, and the style of the room.  If you live in a cold place, and you want to brighten up your room, go with a warm theme like orage/red.  If you want a modern/cool look, try light blue/green.  Go to your local hardware stores, get sample cards, and use your imagination.  You'll find something you like.

When my daughter ran for President in her club, she went with a "Be a Winner, vote for (name)" theme. We went to the $1 store and bought a bag of cheap medals on red, white and blue ribbons. You know the kind that is bestowed upon winners at say the Olympics. Then hot glued a round paper to the medal. One side said "Be a Winner" and on the other side "Vote for (name)".  She did win.  \n\nThat same theme could be used on your posters. Also, you can start as well as end your speech with that phrase. An attention getter at the beginning and end is always good.\n\nGood luck to you!

Wow, thats a tuff one. Have you considered cardboard or wire and fabric? How much time do you have because this seems like a time consuming task. You could look on the internet fo ideas that might help you out. It depends on what you want it to look like.

Place a reddish orange candle in a Hurricane vase and place the vase in the center of an autumn leaf wreath.  Use a round mirror on the bottom which will reflect the candlelight. \n\nFor Hurricane vases check out this site:\nhttp://www.save-on-crafts.com/hurricane.html

You can pick just about anything you want these days--depending on your budget.\n\nIf you are on a rather tight budget definitely consider flowers that are in season that time of year.  Otherwise the skies the limit.\n\nAnother idea is to use dried items (which are usually cheaper) for bulk and shape and then add a few more expensive stems for a fresh look.\n\nAlternately, instead of flowers, why not try something outrageous like battery operated strings of lights with ribbon and tulle wrapped around them?  Or bunches of sparkly crystals on wire that you can wrap into a shapes---sure to make a statement.\n\nRemember, unless you are going for a very traditional look, flowers are NOT required.\n\nGood luck and send us pictures!

First of all, congrats on a great idea.  I was so happy when I saw someone on ESPN at the Sunday night game with a B-Lock sign.  It made my night.\n\nMy first thought was to go buy one of those tri-fold displays like you use for business presentations, or more commonly, for science fair in like 8th grade.  Chop the two outside folds off and use the middle for your light switch.  If you want a 2D sign, just draw the switch, or if you're a big nerd/geek/drama-production-builder/my hero, use the leftover cardboard from the two flaps and actually make a 3D switch by cutting a narrow slit in the middle of the main switch section and sliding one of the two flaps through it to make a real working switch.\n\nLet us know how it goes!
