IdeaPaint: 2011 In Review

We have a bunch of exciting announcements coming up in the weeks and months ahead --- but before we let you in on all of our secrets for 2012, let's take a look back at all the people we met and places we saw in 2011!
To start the year off on the right foot, Chris got our bodies in motion at CrossFit Fenway
Things got fishy (in a good way!) during our "In Desperate Need" Facebook Contest
We chronicled the life of a traditional whiteboard
We made friends with the great people at:
Behance
Evernote (with whom we gave away a sweet custom iPad)
Reebok
Cramer
BrainSell
Skitch
and the
Cambridge Innovation Center
Naturally, we celebrated Earth Day
And Whitey's arrest
We made time to celebrate our own successes too. Like winning an SBANE award!
We introduced (re-introduced?) the one-and-only Keith Whittier to the world through our IdeaPaint 360 Makeover Contest during which we made over 6, count 'em 6, schools and businesses, including:
IndieGoGo in San Francisco
Catz in Hingham, MA
iSchool (who was all smiles after hearing the news) in SoHo, NYC
Wy'East Middle School in Hood River, OR
Yes, that's just four. We'll share the final two in the coming months!
We heard from IdeaPainters all over the world, in Macedonia, Kuwait, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Malaysia, Rwanda, Japan, Germany, and Mexico (just to name a few)
And from schools right around the corner: Clap Innovation School, Brooks School
Recently, we contempated VanGogh. Not just once, but twice!
We loved this "up-cycled" desk!
Encouraged you to get up, get on up
Shot a commercial!
Took a second to reflect on the greatness of Steve Jobs
Made using IdeaPaint even easier with our new line of accompanying products
Jumped on the Google + bandwagon
Were very communicative with Santa
All in all it was an incredible year. Think we missed anything? Let us know in the comment section below! Finally, a huge thank you to YOU, for making our job fun and exciting every day.
