my inspiration

some time last year i started my inspiration notebook. and i don't know how i ever lived without it. 

i used to get tons of old magazines from mom and sister-in-laws, and kept them in stacks with lots of dogeared pages. but no more! i'd like to share:

it's a simple 3-ring binder, with a cloth cover that i made and embroidered {the back is light blue} i keep stuff that i'm inspired by, have diy instructions, or i want to make.

i currently have 8 different categories. they are home, clothing, accessories, paper craft, miscellaneous, random inspiration, holiday, health & beauty {i still have a few things that don't fit, so they just get tucked in the front pockets}

everything gets tucked into page protectors. multi-page articles get put together in one sleeve, and little images are taped onto a blank page.

here's a little peek at some of my favorites: {click to enlarge}
