I hate to admit it but at our house we are kind of notebook collectors.  The amount of half-used or unused notebooks is pretty ridiculous. I always can always talk myself in to buying a cute new one by convincing myself that I will use it for great things around my house: organizing, craft ideas, world domination! But mostly they just find their way into a drawer or on a shelf. But maybe, just maybe if I made my own I would be more inclined to actually use them.  Here are some of the cutest notebooks you can make for yourself.
