Struggling with ideas..

And I don't mean I am struggling to find ideas, I mean I have sooo many I don't know what to do with them so they won't be lost. I have a creative journal that I have been keeping for about 4 years now. If it is near, I'll grab it when one of those creations inspirations hit and I'll sketch a picture and jot a few rough notes. Every once and I while I pick the journal up and start at the beginning and read through. I've noticed a few things. 1. I am more creative in the spring and fall. 2. even the roughest of sketches will usually bring back the idea full force, visuals and all. 3. I still think the vast majority of ideas are still things I would like to try. 4. Many times ideas I have thought about have later appeared in publications at some point.

I wish I would get off my ass and publish a todo book and finally see whether these ideas are of interest to others too.

Anyway, I came back to jot down an idea because I don't have my creative journal here with me at work today.

I have a large bubble envelope sitting by my garbage can here, I was listlessly dreaming of being done work for the day and I began to wonder how I could recycle that envelope other than to recycle it for mail. Then I thought, what if I could take a syringe and fill those little bubbles with paint. What would that look like? Then I thought, what would have if I filled a bubble with more than one colour? Then I thought, how much fun it would be to fill the little bubbles with different coloured paint, put the envelope on a tarp or garbage back or something, and jump on it. Foot painting? Random splatters all over my legs? Therapy? L would love it. We could use our splatter feet as stamps and make some cards. We could press paper onto the splattered bubble wrap and make stationary.

It may not make much sense to actually carry out, however, the thought of jumping on all that smooshy paint brings a smile to my face. It would be a 7 year old's birthday party dream! I can hear the giggles now.
