Well… we’re just about a month into the new year and we want to ask ”how have you started off your year?”

This year at Orange Element we have kicked off 2010 with the theme of starting fresh. A fresh year, a fresh decade, a fresh attitude towards a year full of fresh new creative ideas! That “01″ date on the calendar offers a refreshing starting point — but a motived attitude is something that can be adopted any day of the year! Taking a first step in a fresh direction may give you the feeling of conquer all power in the start, but it’s the carry-through and continuation that matters. Start fresh, continue strong and finish stronger into 2011! 

So now it’s up to you, here are a few freebie wallpapers to remind you to start your day fresh every time you look at your computer. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving loyal OE followers! As a Thanksgiving Freebie we wanted to offer something you can use if you find yourself in a dinnertime pinch this holiday. Here are two recipe cards containing recipes for pumpkin and apple pie on one side and a list of ingredient substitutions on the back side. Simply print the card on an 8.5 x 11″ page, fold the page in half and trim out your 3×5″ or 4×6″ recipe card. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday! Happy baking!
