Altered Mini Composition Book

Hi everyone!

Hope your all having a great day! I made this mini composition book to give to Teri along with some other goodies for her BRAK. Yep it's OK to let the cat out of the bag because Teri got my package yesterday. Not like last year where her package took the SLOW boat to China before making it's way to Hawaii which took 4 weeks to get to her. I was thinking it got lost in the mail & went to the post office twice to complain only to hear that it takes time...4 weeks I don't think so! This time it only took less than a week...go figure! This little cute chick was colored in by my good friend Sandi when she was here last week (thanks Sandi) & I was teaching her how to color with Prisma pencils & OMS, she's a fast learner & she did a great job on this chick. I figured since it was colored already & oh so cute I decided to use it for this book. Isn't it so cute? I saw the video tutorial on Angie's blog so if you want to give it a try click here to take a look. Now isn't this a great little book to keep on your desk or in your purse to jot down all those little things that you don't want to forget...hmmmmmm that reminds me I think I should make one for myself since I'm always forgetting things, hehehe!!! I think I'd loose my head if it wasn't screwed on straight or maybe it's not so straight after all hahaha!!! Take care & happy stamping all!


I got these mini composition books at Wal-Mart for .77 cents but with school supplies on sale right now I'm sure you can get these a lot cheaper now, I heard someone say they got some at Staples 3 for a dollar or something like that. I need to go over there & see if I can pick up more for that price.


Doesn't this make a great to-do book or anything else you want to help keep you on track?

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to come visit me! Have a great day!

I know that something is wrong with the mail sometimes... I have a feeling that they really use a snail...

Your book came out adorable. I would love to make one for myself. I am always forgetting things when I go to the store. How cute would it be to carry one in my purse. Thanks for the idea Rita.

Hi Rita! Teri must have absolutely loved this mini composition book! I haven't yet altered one, but I have seen many crafters do so. Must be because I have BOYS. LOL! Have a super weekend ... no rain hopefully!

Maria said...

Awesome altered notebook, Rita! I love that image. . it's such a cutie!! Your notebook makes me want to go alter one myself! LOL!

Hey. . if you ever send parcel post to Hawaii. . be prepared to have it arrive in a month! Seriously. . it literally is shipped on a boat. I learned a hard lesson sending parcel post. Always send first class or priority!
