Hey everyone! Do you ever have a hard time picking your next project to start? Well, here's a little tip for you. Make an idea jar. Write down all the ideas you have in your head, place them in this jar and randomly draw a piece of paper out every time you're ready for a new project. Sounds cool right?
If you try this out I would love to see some pictures of your idea jars and I would like to know what your next project is.
Thanks for coming back and watching!
