Do you ever have what I call Popcorn" thoughts. Thoughts that just randomly pop into your head unexpectedly and boom .. An idea is created. Was showering and "pop"... An idea for an NSD theme. I know it's a long way away and hostess selections have not even been mentioned but I loooooove when these popcorn thoughts happen. Counting down to May!!

Yes! I totally get those popcorn thoughts too, but it's usually at 3 AM! LOL! NSD may seem far away, but it creeps up fast. Jot down those thoughts for future use! I've already forgotten mine by wake up time. I really should use my phone and record them.

I get them in the middle of the night and can picture exactly how I want a LO to look. If I do not get up right away and at least sketch it and make notes, I completely forget it!!

LOL--I love the term "popcorn thoughts". I used to keep a notebook next to my bed and write my ideas down in the dark. In the morning it was always hilarious to try to decipher the lines that ran over top one another.
I was thinking of NSD just the other day. It is definitely something to start getting excited about. It's the BEST!

When I had a Hollywood themed classroom I came up with that for the kids .... In a nice way telling them I didn't need to hear every popcorn thought at every moment, lol.

Hah! I don't think it is too early to think about NSD. I've also jotted down a couple of ideas if I am chosen to hostess again. It's really just a little over 2 months away.
And I see that Rachel has even posted a survey about it - so DEFINATELY not too early
