Mini Notebooks

My friend, Alaina, shared this link with me about how to make mini notebooks.  I immediately fell in love since I love all things mini.  I got to work and let polka dots and washi tape dance on the covers.

Some people have a thing for shoes – I have a thing for beautifully colored & patterned tape – known as washi tape.  My (growing) collection brings me so much joy.  I love wrapping presents with it, using it in my journal, on a greeting card, or on my handmade mini journals. I even used them to keep track of our water glasses this weekend.  (Brilliant if I do say so myself!)
