MADE : POST X-MA$ PRESENT

So I know the gift-giving holidays are over but earlier today my fingers were itching for a big project...

I ended up making this Organizational Box Set, which I'm going to give to a dear deer auntie of mine..

first I made six notepads (4"x5", using scrap paper for pages, bits of a cereal box for a sturdy backing, black cardstock for a cover, and a label I printed out), one for each day of the week..

next I built a little box for it to live in

(more of the cereal box cut to size and covered with patterened paper.. plus eyelets and a little ribbon for ties) which unties to reveal..

two pockets (more printed cardstock) for to put the daily notepads inside!

BUT it didn't stop there! Next, using 2 more sheets of cardstock, I constructed A BOX to hold the notepad holder in (ha) !

and voila! a gift is made!

The intention is that each notepad can be used for the day's shopping or to-do lists and thrown in a purse &later be returned to the book-box-thing.

I like it a lot.

Anyone else made anything cool lately?
