Personalized Composition Book
My kids love notebooks as much as me. Every aspect of my life seems to have a notebook for it. I know it is more effective to keep track of things on a computer since my life seems to be attached to one – but there is something so much more personal about writing it down and having something tangible to prove it.
I could spend a fortune on decorative notebooks/journals for my kids. Instead, I simply buy the composition notebooks from Staples when they have their back to school sale – and save them for whenever I need them. Simply decorate them however I choose – and surprise my kids with them in their “morning mail”.
This is the “before” photo of a standard composition notepad…
At least it isn’t one of the plain black/white ones but still?! The kids deserve something more – as long as it doesn’t cost me much.
I buy stickers etc… at Joann’s or Michaels Crafts when they are on clearance or I have a 50% or more off coupon. Keep a stock of those on hand and choose whatever I feel like when the time comes. This time the result looks like this…
This one is decorated with 3D stickers (though it is hard to tell they are 3D in this photo), a decorative section of yellow using a Martha Stewart border punch, and alphabet stickers for my daughter’s name.
