Keep Calm and Move On?

etsy- of course

When the British World War II  "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters came out a few years ago they were a big hit.  Everyone loved them, etsy stores sold out of the posters.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I stress- a lot, easily, and sometimes without much of a reason.  So I bought these-

One for school and one for my desk at home.

And my sweet friend Amigh bought me this- 

Funny story about that paperweight.  I keep it at school, one day last year I was getting annoyed at my computer and my student, (who has some pretty significant emotional and behavioral management issues himself) just held it up in front of me.  Cracked us both up.

You can now get that infamous slogan on anything from tote bags to band aids.

 

The market is also full of Keep Calm knock-offs, such as the "Keep Calm and Blog On" poster.  Have a career, passion, hobby, baby, or celebrate a holiday?  You can find one (or more) variations for you!

So what do you think?  Is the trend over?  Do you still love the saying- if you ever did? How do you feel about the knock-offs?  Most important, do you have either in your house?
