The box contains lots of bits and pieces, sorted into individual and series postcard ideas. It is just plain white cardstock separating the ideas, and I may use that cardstock to sketch out, in pictures or words, what I want the postcard to look like. Just the idea, not the whole thing, so that when I pick up the box to make my daily card, at least I have something to work with, even if I throw it all out the window and go with something completely different.
There are enough ideas in the box to create about 80 postcards, but I'll add to it as I go along. There is a small basket beside the box which has colored cardstock that I often use for background. There's plenty of background to complete the whole year, but I do like to make my own backgrounds, so I have a huge stash of precut postcard that are very heavy cardstock. I rescued that stash from the trash at my former workplace. The cardstock is wicked shiny, so difficult to work with, but I'm getting better with it.

Wow PostMuse, that is really inspiring. Somehow looks a bit better than the random piles, baskets, drawers I have going. I think I'll follow your lead and get some cards going now with background. I'm anticipating days when I feel totally uninspired or haggard and it would be good to just be able to complete a card that day rather than be faced with the dread blank page. Thanks.

I'm Sagittarius, too, born 22 Nov, so it must be the Scorpio that makes me want to be organized :-)

Haha, wow this is cool. I admire you for being this organized. I work basically the exact opposite. Although, that's a really good idea to have a theme. I never thought about doing that. Hmmm.
Hah! I tried NanoWriMo this month too and I completely bombed. I got like 800 words the first day and that's it. Although, it did lead to my new appreciation for Steven McQueen, so I guess it wasn't a total waste. :)
Well, whichever way we all go about doing this, I think the results will be fantastic. I'm so glad this is happening.

NaNoWriMo always scared me. Deadlines. Yuck. Think I can manage the one a day though. How hard can it be? (Famous last words if I ever heard them)
