@mir123 Cut pictures out from a newspaper or magazine that might express your feelings or thoughts on a given day. Draw something [pen/marker/ paint/colored pencil]. Press a flower onto the page, tape down a knit or crochet swatch, or a square of embroidery. Glue down a tea bag envelope that has meaning to you. A fortune cookie message.

Do any of these trigger an "a-ha" idea to you?

All of it! I appreciate how you've thought about this. I'll sometimes collage a program, a menu, a ticket stub...so this is a good reminder. But my fave of your suggestions is that square/swatch/flower...why do I always think I have to make a giant wall hanging called 2023 (and then fail to do so!). The flowers are a great add-on...I hear people do this but have never tried, although I grow flowers, pick them on my walks, and buy them to arrange. For example, although it has been snowing here some parsley is still alive--a bit of it pressed could make today's entry (or a tiny poem). Thank you!
