I keep a lot of folders in my desk drawers at work to hold all the ideas that I come across. It seems as though I'm always having a quick thought; a scrap of paper saying "hit up the local Chinese restuarant for chopsticks for summer reading" goes into "Summer Reading 2011" and some photocopied pages of Dollar Store Decorating go into "Teen Craft Ideas". I get program ideas from all over the place and the folder thing is my system for keeping them organized. Then when I'm more ready to actually think of the logistics I can go through the folder and find something that fits my need. Lots of the ideas I throw into the "Teen Craft Ideas" folder are green. Sometimes I'll come across several similar ideas using the same materials all from different locations. I've got several t-shirt crafts all stapled together. I probably started with an idea from one book and then added something I saw in a magazine. I stapple the ideas together because one of them might have been what first struck me but a later version might be what actually works best for my program.
