i need to be creative tomorrow. steal a fork from the hotel or soemthing

Coasters from restaurants, cool postcards, brochures of local attractions???

Please keep these ideas coming! We're 10 days into January and have four things. WHAT am I missing?

I took apart the packaging from pudding that I made

I have a card from my studio calico kit that I'm gonna use about how much I love getting my studio calico kit

K, you rock!

I've already informed everyone in the house to save the box from the Pinewood Derby kit for Cubscouts. I have two chances at them getting it right since there are two kits! lol

Then I have my bus pass once it runs out.

A receipt from dinner with hubby on Saturday night.

A cookie bag from Subway, it was my dinner last Thursday when I had class.

Oooh! I just realized I always get lots of crap in my mailbox at work from my Union, which I usually just toss. I'll have to save some of it.

And I have the boys' scorecards from Laser Tag on Friday.

I need more stuff or I'll have the smallest memorabilia album ever! lol

Do the boys still make art at school? Could you use any of that?

tonya, I don't think the goal of this project is to get arrested while gathering things.

hey, leslie was going to take a whole wedding dress!

there aren't as many fun things out there as you might think. I keep looking at the places I go to regularly and the best I can do is snapshots...

that would be memorable!

ah, that is right. See, Tonya.....With my bad memory, I thought you wanted to take the fork and the wedding dress. But the wedding dress was Leslie. I really should get more sleep.

It takes time to collect up stuff! It really does.

Yes, they do! Just not every day anymore. And I'll have to figure out something so that it's not huge.
