![]() ![]() Here you can get an idea that this is really just one of those simple 3 ring notebooks that everyone has in their supply closet…or maybe…I just have an abundance of them, and all of you are more normal? I have…ahem…a lot! In a variety of sizes. Let’s take a tour of the planning notebook, shall we? …and I have a particular talent and fondness for making lists! LOL! I start booklists here…to-do lists here…library lists here. The size of it is great for a variety of lists…. It’s big and has a cover that opens from the top rather than the side…great if you’re a lefty, which I’m not, but I thought I’d mention. Here’s my crazy idealistmaking scribblingnotebook. This is what the inside of the project notebook looks like… I also used contact paper to make the pocket – it is only attached to the cover along the bottom and the left side. If you’re wondering – I’m using contact paper to adhere the scrapbook paper to the notebook (I also use a bit of double sided sticky tape applied directly to the scrapbook paper to adhere to the cover). I thought this would be a frugal way to use all the scraps…and a smallish pocket can never be a bad thing! I added a small pocket with a little scrap of scrapbook paper on the inside front cover of the notebook. This requires some thought and planning on my part though…particularly in the area of science. Our offerings will continue to simply be a natural extension of what we’re already doing, just wider and generous. I’m using my smaller Ampad notebook to journal some thoughts, plans, and ideas for high school. If you’re curious and searching, the brand name is Ampad Gold Fibre Project Planner. I had enough paper left to cover a few of my favorite spiral notebooks which I adore and use all the time! I found these great notebooks (my brother uses them all the time and I found them delicious!) and found that they are available at Walmart and Staples. Hobby Lobby was having their big scrapbook paper sale, and I fell in love with this pretty black and creme toile! I added a few inspiring quotes and voila! Inspiring and fresh notebook for ideas, inspiration, and plans! Of course, you know that I could NOT leave it as just a plain white notebook!!!! Oh no!!!! Scrapbook paper to the rescue! A pretty notebook is a must! It’s pretty non-descript really…white with those pockets all the way around, but a notebook is one of the best ways for me to provide a place for random slips of paper, ideas, internet resources, plans, lists, and inspiration all in one place. This planner notebook really is only for notes and ideas pertaining to home education. I can’t resist showing you my home education planning notebook! One of my favorite rituals is rethinking and redesigning my planner notebook at the beginning of each year. ![]()
