Craft | Holiday Planner & List Notebook

I don't know about you, but our school supply shopping has finally come to an end. Lesson learned? Organize your supplies before you go shopping. Smile. I now have dozens of black composition books! I kept buying them because, well, they were almost free!

Now ... what to do with all those composition notebooks you may have lying around? Because, seriously, I don't think my son could go through our stash even by the end of high school ... and he's only in middle school now.

If you're crafy and like to work with paper, or even if you're challenged in that area, here is a project to use those notebooks and turn them into a delightful planning tool for the holidays. Or, as I'm going to do, make them into journals, prayer lists, gifts, etc. It's wonderfully easy, completely custom, and a joy to do.


For complete instructions on creating this truly simple book, visit Poppy Paperie for easy-to-follow directions.

As for me ... I've made my Christmas List book, (I know I need to improve my paper skills but I LOVE the red ribbon I used) and will be making several journals. It's fun to try and never too early to begin planning this year's perfect Christmas.
