Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to recycle last year’s date book into a tool and supply journal

by

Eileen Hull over at the blog Thoughts From My Studio came up with this great way to take last year’s date book and turn it into a record of her markers and punches and things she already has so when she hits the store she knows what she already has! I have to say I have most definitely run into this problem. There is one circle punch that I keep forgetting what diameter size I need and so I never end up getting it. Thanks Eileen for sending this idea in!
