Paisley Cupcake Wordle

Wordles are "word clouds” created from text that you provide to wordle.net. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. Here is a wordle created from our blog


I'm thinking of using this fun tool to make gifts similar to Jan's Monogrammed Wall Art. You could type in (or find online, if it's available) a chapter of a favorite book - here is some of Dickens' A Christmas Carol


Or a favorite poem or song lyric... Here's the hymn "How Great Thou Art"

I'm planning on making a work related one for a former co-worker.


The Wordle tool is great... you can customize the font, the colors and the general shape of the cloud. Or you can hit the "randomize" button and see what comes out.

If you're a word-lover like I am, you'll love this site!
