Christmas Notebooks

Small is beautiful, when it comes to this sweet notebook for Christmas lists! Pop this little sweetheart into purse or pocket to keep tabs on Christmas lists on the go.

Created by Lisa at the Poppy Paperie blog, this purse-sized project is easy to make with her photo tutorial. Based on an inexpensive mini-composition book, this project features vivid colors and sprightly design, right down to the secure closure and pen loop. Receipt envelopes and divider tabs complete the makeover, turning this tiny notebook into a Christmas organizer!

Nice job!

Here's another pretty, practical Christmas notebook from blogger Kristen Stryker.

Behind the lovely cover, you'll find sections for lists, menus and holiday planning.

We like Kristen's eclectic approach to supplies and embellishments.

Because she's mixed and matched offerings from multiple suppliers, this project would make good use of holiday bits and pieces from the supply stash.

Another inspiring planner tour to help organize the holiday season!

How simple--and frugal--is this? UK blogger Just Jake does a creative makeover on an inexpensive ring-bound notebook to produce this bright and creative Christmas planner.

Finding her makeover material at the "pound store" (that's "dollar store" to us Yanks!), she's documented the before, during and after of turning a spare notebook into a work of Christmas art.

Innovation we love: a recycled clothes pin, or "peg" in UK parlance, stands in for a receipt envelope. Clever Jake!
