If you're like me, when you're journaling on a daily basis (especially in a small format) you end up with lots of small pieces of paper stacked in a pile along side your other materials. Eventually you don't know what's buried there.
Inspired by a display I saw at The Arts Center here in Corvallis, Oregon, I made a similar display with an old book and then put it to good use. After folding all the pages in half, I had a place to put all those bits and pieces of paper so that I could see what I had. Easy breezy, and a bit more suited to my aesthetic tastes than a plastic box.

You recognize the design. (Remember Readers Digest Xmas Tree decorations in the 70's?) Take any book with a few hundred pages and fold them in half to create this delightful tool to organize bits of paper. |

Preparing for my Journal 365: a page a day project, I pre-cut a bunch of paper to size. I then cradled them in between the empty covers of a hand-made journal that I found at Goodwill. The stand that holds the book is one I made from a piece of card stock. Now I can just grab a page and go! |
