Hello, My Every Day People! I hope you are having an amazing week. So much time has passed since my last blog post. In fact, many reading this probably didn’t even know I had a blog. Yes, I do.  It’s all a journey of inspiration and creativity sprinkled with some occasional randomness. For example, I found this old Steno Book from when I worked at the middle school. Shout out to Workman Middle School – Go Jaguars!

I remember how I used it to track daily tasks and all the many moving parts that surround working in a middle school. I even labeled the front “brain” cause there were several days when I needed this book to think for me.

This bell and lunch schedule were lifesavers when scheduling groups and enrolling students.

Quickly, I considered this would be a great way to keep track of my current day-to-day (i.e., therapy, UWF, craft projects, etc.). However, it needed a makeover.

Enter creative idea: Reverse it so the back is now the front. Use the front of last year’s birthday card and some Post-it notes as a new cover.

First step: Cut strips of Post-it notes and glue around the edge.

Next step: Cut off the front of the card and glue it on top of Post-it strips.

Viola! New upcycled Steno Book cover.

What do you think? This would be a great craft project for a group or a fun activity at home with kids. Feel free to use any kind of notebook. As always, thanks for your time, and enjoy the journey.
