One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s — what’s yours?

Kate Bingaman Burt, a Portland based designer, caught the daily drawing bug in 2006.

She didn’t doodle her shoes, or a building in her city. She was more interested in what was on her receipts.

“Our daily lives are filled with consumption … parking tickets, coffee, packs of gum, shoes, electricity bills and burritos, “she writes. “Everything we buy has its own story to tell.”
