So I carry this notebook around with me everywhere I go... filled with To-Do lists, projects, Decor Ideas ect. buuuut it's out of control and in no order what so ever, which drives me crazy, cause I like orderliness... so I bought a new notebook, and decided since NO notebook out there will meet my needs, I would have to create one that will...
here is my old notebook, as you can see lots of scribbles, clippings, and paint swatches....
New notebook: basic college ruled notebook, purse size, of course (sorry this picture is crappy)
I'm not too picky, I basically just wanted specific tabs put in... so I got 7 pieces of scrapbook paper, cut to fit the pages of the notebook.
printed off the categories I wanted each tab to be...
cut tabs
glued the categories onto the tabs... I could have just put in a pink piece of cardstock into the printer but I wanted this hot pink and it was not a full piece of paper...
glued the tabs onto the edges on the paper in the appropriate place, each one a little lower than the next... measure it all out before you glue them on...
then glued the new tab onto a sheet in the notebook...
and done, it's perfect because I can decide how much space I need between each category, and when I use up this notebook I can just rip out the tab, trim it up and paste it into a new notebook... cause this certainly isn't gonna last me too long, there's only 100 pages in it...
Woo Hoo, I'm so excited to keep track of what's going on in my brain...
