Project Central!

Good Morning! I guess I have been feeling rather crafty lately and with that, created two new projects. If you aren't on Pinterest, you should be! It is a perfect place to get craft ideas and organize all of those ideas into neat little sections so you can go back and quickly check on an idea. The first thing I wanted to do was create a weight loss/diet journal. I was getting too down on myself and I needed something to keep track and motivate myself. Since I actually love to write things down and visualize them, when I saw this example I knew it was perfect:
So I set off making my own. With a 40 cent Composition notebook and magazines I already had, this is what I came up with. My favorite: "When I get sad, I stop being sad and be AWESOME instead!" Love it. I have a graph inside to track my progress and each week I will add a new tab to the top (like she did above).


Second, I found this REALLY cute greeting card organizer. It is made out of 6x9 envelopes and scrapbook paper. You can see the rest HERE.
Here is my version. Mine is a little simpler because I did not do the inking around all the edges or use as much ribbon. But, I think it turned out cute and I loved using scrapbook paper relating to that month! I can now go shopping at the beginning of the year and buy cards for months (maybe even the year) out and keep them nicely organized! I plan on not just using this for Birthdays, but Anniversaries/Special Occasions too.
And Finally...this is the next project I am working on. How ME is this?! A Christmas organizer. LOVE IT!!
