Valentine Notebooks

February 1, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 40 Comments

For a tutorial on my Custom Notebooks (shown previously as Monogrammed Notebooks) head on over to FaveCrafts.com. Thanks Caley for the feature. If you haven’t checked out Fave Crafts before, it has loads of great project tutorials to inspire you for your next project!

I bought my Moleskine notebooks from Snail Blazer  and from Boffins.

    Yesterday I was killing time by browsing through a local craft store. And you popped into my mind. I remember looking at something darling and not knowing what in the world I would do with it but thinking, “Spoonful of Sugar would do something amazing!” LOL! I love this little book!
