One red paperclip The paperclip that Kyle MacDonald traded for a house. The website One red paperclip was created by Canadian blogger Kyle MacDonald, who bartered his way from a single red paperclip to a house in a series of fourteen online trades over the course of a year.[1] MacDonald was inspired by the childhood game Bigger, Better, and the site received a considerable amount of notice for tracking the transactions. "A lot of people have been asking how I've stirred up so much publicity around the project, and my simple answer is: 'I have no idea'", he told the BBC.[2] Trading timeline[edit] MacDonald made his first trade, a red paper clip for a fish-shaped pen, on July 14, 2005.

Story Dice Have you seen this idea before? It's so cute I thought it was a must-share. They're called Story Dice and the idea is that you roll them out and use the objects to tell a story. Now the ones I did here are organized a bit--there are a few dice that have animals only on them, one with methods of transportation, one with household objects, one with clothing, one with landscape features, that kind of thing. I figured it would be helpful toward plot that way. One twist I saw was where, instead of painting little pictures on the dice, the person used stickers instead. Once you sit down to play with them you can roll the dice all at once and start from there or take turns picking a die and rolling it to see what happens next--if you've got a storyteller in the family it makes for a fun activity.
