Making a List and Checking it Twice

At this time of year I find myself making list after list.  Weather it be a "To Do" list, grocery list or a gift list I have them all over my house on scraps of paper, old envelopes and post it notes.  There can be so many lists going at one time I have been known to make a  list of my lists.  On a recent trip to our local Target,  I found the cutest little notebooks.  The great feature about these notebooks is the piece of elastic attached to the bottom securing the cover. The perfect notebook to keep in my purse.   How great I thought to have all my lists in ONE place.  And then the thought struck me...If I make hundreds of lists during this time of year, I am sure there are many busy ladies out there that do the same.  With a little altering, I thought they would  make a fun addition to my shop at SweetPeas.  They came in a variety of colors but I chose the red and green--perfect for all our Christmas lists. 



I had such fun with this project I returned to Target today to purchase more notebooks.  I wonder if Santa keeps all of his lists in cute little notebooks like these.

Mimi, you did it again, you came up with a simple but adorable idea of altering a bought item and making it your own creative item!! Love the designs. And I am JUST like you, a total list person, I have lists all over the house, written on what ever I can get my hands on at the time. The kids joke that they best hide their home work or any important papers, cuz I am bound to write on the back of it! :-)

thanks for your kind and comforting words on my recent pet-loss post. Sure did mean the world to me to see how much support I got thru blogging friends. hugs , Debby
