Struggling For Inspiration

I am taking a digital photography class at the local jr. college this semester, and I am having a blast. I am learning SOOOOO much, and it is going to help make me into a much better photographer, in fact, its already working. We have 7 or 8 big projects that are all due on the last night of the class, so I'm trying work on it slowly but surely throughout the semester so I don't have to be all stressed out at the last minute **pause for all those who know how I do all of my school work to gasp and pick themselves up after having fainted**
One of the projects is proving particularly difficult for me, and I thought I might put it out there and maybe get some inspiration from all none of you who read my blog. The assignment is this: take pictures of things in the world around you that resemble the letters of your name (first or last) and assemble them into a collage that spells out your name. I think it would be amazing to do a themed collage of my last name and have it framed and give it to my inlaws as a Christmas gift... ideally a hockey themed collage. But I am just having so much trouble finding inspiration and seeing letters in the everyday things around me. I also thought it would be cool to do all of my favorite things for my first name, like shoes, makeup, and things of that nature.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

Tough one, I have faith in you that you will be able to come up with something great! Go the the hockey rule book maybe this can trigger the brain to start working.

I saw in a magazine (which now I can't find) about an alphabet walk. The family spelled names taking digital photos as they walked. They were very creative looking at things sideways and upside-down. I think a partially coiled rope made a g, the c was a scroll in a gate...It was really nice and what memories! good luck!

Ok, so I saw a website that does this about a year ago and have wanted to do it ever since. I'll think about hockey stuff and let you know if I come up with anything. Good luck!
