MIM # 167: DIY Notebooks

Well, I have to admit I didn't think I would be doing this weeks MIM, but then I saw THESE and knew I needed to give it a try!  Usually my two daughters ask me to make something for the kiddos to give to their teachers...so I thought I would jump the gun (Yeah, like there is a lot of time before school is out!!) and get these done maybe 7 days ahead of schedule!!  I made 6 of these...decided to keep it simple for me and make them all the same.

And now I really like these and think I may make a few more for some special people!!
 
If you want to watch the video go HERE  and see Erin showing how to put these cute little DIY Notebooks together!
