Personalize it!


Here are a couple of journals that I made for teacher gifts. You would be surprised how easy it is! I took apart a wire bound journal that I found in the $1.00 bin and covered it with paper.




You will want to use Sticky Strip to adhere the paper to the inside of the covers. For the monogram, I enlarged a font and made my own 'chipboard' by cutting it out of a cereal box. Super cheap AND eco friendly! Embellish with fibers or not - make it your own.

impression: a mark or indentation produced by pressure



Every day we are trying to make an impression on our kids, in our communities, and with the people we meet. I'm going to share some of my thoughts and ideas here and maybe it will help you make in impression on someone else. You might just be entertained along the way...
