Brooms Do More Than Sweep

Every once in a while I get the itch to do something related to retail, yet challenging all of us to do something creative with the talent we have among our staff.
When OSU Poets and Writers under the leadership of Teresa Miller brought the novelist  Khaled Housseini, author of The Kite Runner to Tulsa, I got the urge for all of our staff to take a plain kite and decorate it in any manner they wished.  Occasionally, when approached by one of my ideas,  there are a few sighs among the group; nonetheless everyone got to work and brought in some of the cleverest kites ever made.
When Teresa visited our store, she was thrilled to see that we had 6 or 8 kites flying from the ceiling of the store. We giggled and smiled and were glad that we took the time to turn Teresa's wonderful program into a creative project for our store.
With Halloween on the way, I thought it might be fun to take brooms and turn them into characters or themes inspired by our staff.
You will have to come by the store and see what we have done.  Each of us took the challenge and put together some of the cutest brooms even made.
Alyssa is a big Sooner fan.  Her broom is a horse head cut out and stitched by Alyssa herself, wearing a OU scarf.  Broomer Sooner, Alyssa!!  Jesse, distracted by bling, created a broom which is truly a Disco Work of Art.
We laughed the entire afternoon at the desert humor of Lisa's  Broom With a View.  Doris is always full of color and owls.  Her Death by Candy broom will brighten up your day.
Olivia, our young free spirited T.U. nursing student created the best representation of Hippie-dom...so pink and cute.
Sabrina has taken the challenge of creating a Weeping Broom.  This broom is totally in the spirit of the Halloween season.
Jeff, our T.V. star of 30 second commercials, has taken one of his alter egos and turned it into Sweeper Man.
And lastly, my broom is inspired by candy and Groucho Marx.  I never knew what Hot Glue was all about until I glued some licorice wheels and wax lips onto a broom.  By the way, Hot Glue melts chocolate.
What are you waiting for?  Get out your glue, scissors, beads and things, put on your creative top hat and have the most fun ever being silly and clever and totally talented.
