I finally make it !!!!!!!!!!

Today is one  the happiest day of my entire life!!!!!.Me and Spencer have finally finished an invention that we both are really proud of and we can´t believe that now people are saying that the post it notes are  probably the most  important office supply product ever since the paperclip, that is crazy!!!!! 
 

I am really sure that this is not only  an important office supply ,I hope that people of every part world will thank us for, because now with this amazing product they won't forget their meatings, their homeworks or what they have to do for the day, but the most important thing for me, is that now I won't forget my place in the anthom, and that is how all started, with me singing in the church choir, getting  upsept because of that.

Post-it notes

Everyone knows what the post- it notes are and  almost everyone use them in their normal life,but these amazing invention was not a planned product. Unlike other inventions no one got the idea and then stayed up many  night trying to make it happen, this was a total mistake.

                                                               


HISTORY:
In 1970 a scientist named Spencer Silver was working in the 3M research laboratories.He was working really hard trying to find a super stong adhesive, but instead  he developed an even weaker adhesive than what 3M already had, but he did not threw  it away.4 years passed until Arthur Fry came to the rescue!!!
Arthur was singing in the church's choir and he used a paper to remind him his place in the anthom, but the reminder kept falling out of the book. He remembered Silver's adhesive,and he applied it to the paper   and it was a total success because the reminder stayed in place and he could take it out without damaging the pages or the reminder.In 1980 3M began selling  the post it notes.
Even though now  you can buy the post it notes of  many colors,sizes and shapes the original ones were a small square in canary yellow color.

In the present there are many artists who uses Post it notes in their artwork for example:
