Back To School Book Worm Volunteer Notebook!

My girls have been in school for 5 weeks already! It may be September but here in Arizona we are still seeing temperatures of 108 so it still feels like summer! 

If all goes as planned, this will automatically post because we will be installing my Daughter's furniture today! We had a set back with the paint colors, which originally were watermelon green and pink. However, once on the wall the green was really cartoon looking so it was back to square one. After many paint samples she finally picked Mint Majesty! We are thinking yellow for accent but that will be decided after the furniture gets moved in!

My Daughter needed a way to track her volunteer hours, so I made her this altered mini notebook. Her requests was that it had lots of ribbon on the side and her name so no one would steal it.  (She never recovered from when someone stole the bookmark I made her in 1st grade!)

Here is her book:

Back to School Blog Hop Day 3!

Welcome Blog Hop Day 3!!

My daughter needed a composition notebook this year for her journal so I decided to make it more fun for her. Here is a photo of the book before: Pretty boring!!


Here is the front after:
Here is the back after!
This project was soooo easy to make! I let her pick the paper she wanted from one of my 12x12 paper packs. Then I just measured and glued! I did add a colored spine border and some ribbon for extra bling. I wanted to add lots of bling but was afraid of what would happen to it shoved in her desk! She LOVED it and so did all of her friends!
