My TO-DO List Altered notebook - Bella BLVD

Happy Earth Day!

Here's a fun little recycle/upcycle - reuse

project I've been wanting to share.

I am an admitted list-maker, yep, it's right there

on my "About Me" page! Lists are a constant in

my life. 

My mind naturally works in lists.

When I have a project to do, I see the steps in

list form before my pen even hits paper.

So where does a prolific list-maker keep her lists?

Notebooks!

But I'm a crafter too, so they need to be

embellished notebooks!

I make one for each season. (:

Recycling or is it Upcycling?

I use the kids old composition books; they 

never use all the pages. Would that be 

recycling or upcycling?

Upcycling the kids old notebooks.
The used pages are carefully cut out and
the cover is joyfully altered.

Most notebooks have more than half of

their pages unused, in that case I just 

alter the cover. 

However, my current edition was pretty

much thinned out so I made a quick 

bookcover from kraft wrapping paper.

This will allow me to transfer my spring 

cover to another book when this one

is finished before the end of the season.

Ironically, some of Bella Blvd's winter papers 

were perfect for my spring notebook!

Bella Blvd Winter Wonder design papers were

used, earlier in the year, for both my winter notebook 

and my 2016 daily planner, I really liked the color scheme.

Are you a list-maker?
Do you keep notebooks of notes?
