Please Be Good to Me April

I found this cute little poster while dabbling around on the internet and had to share 'cause Hello Kitty always reminds me of my childhood - Ok, ok, teenage years...and adulthood too!


I'm sure you've seen copies of the original 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster all over the place, even on etsy.

Ever wonder the meaning behind this?  Here's a tidbit via Wikipedia:

Keep Calm and Carry On was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the World War II, intended to raise the morale of the British public under the threat of impending invasion. It was little known and never used. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products.

Happy April!  Positive vibes all around.  And try not to get fooled today.

    Yay! I'm so glad I checked your blog and found that you are back! Glad you like the mix I posted, too! I've totally been listening to it on repeat in my studio. I'll have to make another one soon.

    P.S. Keep calm and carry on is my adopted motto for this month.

    Crazy! I had no idea about the origins. I like some of the creative, random, and funny versions of this poster. They crack me up.

    Me and my friend gave our science teacher hot chocolate with salt in it, but unfortunately he made me try it, so i did. Then he tried it after me, too bad i have a cold and a cough. Then I wound out that he is immune so i am pretty pissed :/

    @ Sarah - It's so good to be back to blogging. I missed all my blog friends. And I can't wait to hear your other mix!

    @ Mellynator - That's so mean! But I remember being younger and doing something worse than that to my grammar school teachers. Watch out.. karma's a b*tch!

    Happy April to you!

    I love the history of the KCACO posters, there's another one that goes:

    Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory

    Hope you have a lovely week! ♥
