Just wondering how many keep a book and/or list filled with ideas for future projects?
I officially started mine in 2013 when I spotted an orange composition book at Walmart. Before that I had notes everywhere--in the car, on the iPod, sticky notes (both paper and digital) and even throughout my sales book as it seems some of the best ideas came while working. I allotted a certain amount of pages for ideas, paper mache related recipes, my card exchange lists, sketches and specific projects in general. I underestimated the amount of pages I thought I needed and have expanded elsewhere in the book. I still jot notes elsewhere but transfer them when I have a chance.
Now after adding several pages of ideas and sketches I did from my daughter's recent hospital stay, I realize that it's almost time to add a second Halloween notebook. While I'm not a big fan of composition books, I do like the fact that the pages stay intact and I picked up two of the orange ones this year during the back-to-school sales.
Here's a photo of my current book. You can see the bookmarks and post-it flags peeking out from the top. Also it seems that every time I have a few stickers left over, they find their way on and inside of the notebook.
