2009/10 Notebook

My goal is to post 2-3 times a week but fell short this week.  There were some technical difficulties -- couldn't find our digital camera!  And my daughter has a few pictures I need on her camera and I keep forgetting to ask her for them!

Anyway,  today I'm showing the notebook I made last January to guide me and my resolutions through the year.  I didn't meet them (by a longshot) so I'm back at it in 2010.

I think this is very clever!  I used a pattern in an old PaperCrafts magazine.  I would love to

look like my cover!  The red nail polish is really out of character for me too.

This is the back cover, fairly simple.  I've found that if you add too

many embellishments to the back, the notebook doesn't lay flat very well.

Here's the front inside pocket -- you can see my motivational stickers tucked inside.

The back pocket gives you more space to store fun items, lists, charts, etc.

This was fun to make.  I used a composition notebook purchased at Walgreen's.

I had all the papers, ribbons, brads and stickers in my stash.  I put tabs inside

for each month, goals, plans, progress and fun stuff.  I journal

once or twice a week and chart my progress, rewards, exercise and

anything else that helps me.  I hope to make even more

progress this year in the areas of health and fitness.
