Birthday card making ideas

The World is crying out for a Birthday Idea Generator

The Party Planning was going nowhere.

In sheer exasperation the hostess yelled:

"I don't need your help, your money, or your advice. Just give me an IDEA!!"

Smiling, you handed her your Birthday Idea Generator. The tears of joy were instant.

A Birthday Idea Generator...what an idea.

An idea on its own will not guarantee you a cool birthday. We find people simply think that the idea will solve all their headaches. Or that the idea comes with a how to manual, unlimited budget and an army of workers at your command!

Some do, it's true. They usually cost a bomb and take months to get together. Is that you? If so, read on it will be of use. If it's not you, then READ ON WITH EXTREME INTEREST.

"Where did you get that idea from??"

It's a great question! The answer is equally great, maybe a touch cheeky.

I farm them.

Huh?

Seriously. And by the time you have read this article you will be farming as well. Got your plough ready? Giddy-up!

In no order I think the following 10 methods of Farming Ideas work the best. I do this every week, so that when it's time I'm ready.

1.Create an Idea Finder
This could be a ring folder, a journal, a blog or a brain dump page on a web site. The more 3D it is I find the better it is to show others and scratch additional info on. You can scribble, glue cut-outs, sketch, alter ads in papers, play with words, brainstorm gift ideas...and on and on. Whatever you need to help you remember that spark!. My favorite way is to have an artists sketch book 120pages, thick paper, spiral bound, $5. Every thought, idea, cartoon, concept, whatever!, goes in it. I'll chew threw about 6 per year! Personalize it and make it part of your daily life.
