PWC84 - Who's Got the {Note}Book?

Good morning! It's Wednesday already, Paper Pretties day!! We have a new blog hop and challenge each week! Full details on the challenge can always be found on The Paper Clip.

We would love for you to ink up your Paper Pretties stamps and play along with us! This week we were challenged to alter a notebook. Here is mine:


This is actually a little cut-down cutie legal pad inside a DVD tin. I bought a dozen or so of these on SCS, oh.....had to be.....2 years ago. HAHAHAHA! Now I have finally used one! Anyone else have that hoarding sickness? Is there going to be an Apocalypse and I'll need a dozen notebooks in tins? Well, you never can tell....

Here's the inside. I didn't decorate, but you can see that it is a notebook! I am going to use this to try to keep myself organized. We can take bets on how long it'll last. ;-) I'll give good odds.

Ok, here are the challenge details for you -
