Happy Monday! Hope you all sprung your clocks forward over the weekend. We lost an hour, but we gained more sunlight as the day moves on. So now that it will be a little brighter when your kid’s get home, you may be more inspired to have them craft more after school projects. Here is a great project that is simple to make, and useful. This revamped composition notebook was designed, by Cathie and Steve. This is such a cool way to take an ordinary notebook, and turn it into something extraordinary.
