Sunday Inspiration: Tiny Journals

I have a bad habit of writing shopping lists, ideas for my blog, doctor appointments and random bits of information on scraps of paper I find laying around.  I'm trying to cure myself of this habit since it's easy to lose those important pieces of information and then you can't remember what time your appointment was or you lose that creative idea you had for your blog.  I'm remedying this sad situation by making tiny journals for the different areas of my life.  They provide a specific place to write my spring shopping list, ideas for my blog, my every growing to-do list.  Here's what you'll need for the project:

Magazine pages for images, scissors, tiny composition books, glue stick and clear Contact paper.

I bought my small size composition books at Family Dollar where they are sold three per pack.  To give you some ideas, here are some of the journals that I have made for my own use.

Spring Shopping List Journal.

Gratitude Journal.

Books I Want to Read List.

To-Do List.

Life Goals List.

Thrifty Resources and Products List.

 After picking up your supplies, go through your old magazines and cut out pictures that go along with your theme.  Use your glue stick to apply these to the front and back of your journal.  After the journal dries, cut the clear Contact paper a little bigger than your cover.  Smooth the clear Contact paper over the cover, clip the corners to make an easy fold and fold the clear cover over the edges onto the inside of the journal.  You're done! 

 What kind of journals would be helpful for you?  A journal of blog ideas?  Notes from a book you are reading?  Or maybe one of the above examples?  Just say no to random scraps of paper and make a journal to hold your dreams...or at least your to-do list!
