We had just lost my dad to Altzheimers disease, which was 5 years to the day after my exhusband had committed suicide, so you could understand my emotions! The next February she sent her assistants Angie and M...

Altered notebooks, the cheap version! I use the composition notebooks you can purchase at Walmart for .89$ or at the Dollar store for $1!

Step two: For the color where the yellow is, cut it in half, creating 2 6 x 12 sheets of paper. Step three: Take the paper you are using (where I used the flowers), fold in half to go around the front and back side of the notebook. Using the glue stick, glue the paper down to the notebook. Step four: At the bottom and top sides, where the notebook is, you need to cut a slice in the paper to allow you to fold the excess to the other side. Glue the paper down.
