Two book posts in a row - I'm on a bit of a roll! I've never been much of a "DIY" person in the past but over the last few months I've been attempting a few home projects myself and really enjoying it. When I was reorganising my room I discovered a bunch of old notebooks lying around that I had never used. I just kept staring at these empty books thinking "I have to do something with these". I also had a lot of pretty papers lying around from my card-making phase (which lasted all of 5 minutes - it was a nice idea but just not for me) and a lightbulb went off in my head that I should recover the books with the papers.
I took the books/diaries apart, cut the paper to size and then with a little coaxing got my mum to sew them together for me.
This one was the first I did - it's my film log for all my film cameras and film I get developed. I always get them back and have to try to guess and remember which one went in (the waiting time averages 10 days so it's really difficult for me).

This next notebook is one of three smaller ones we made. The pages were originally from an Anthropologie diary I got two years ago but never used - the cover was just never for me and I never felt the need or want to write in it.

If you're feeling a bit "blah" about your notebooks then definitely give this a go. I want to write in mine all the time now! ♥
This is a really fun and cute idea! (omg I LOVE that camera print!!!)
