Customized Notebook

Last week my husband had a heart attack.  Even stating that fact is quite frightening, he's ok and the prognosis is good.  It is a very helpless feeling but we are doing fine right now and I thought it'd be a good time for a joint project.  The doctors now want to keep close track of any changes or consistencies so they ask that the patient record their stats everyday.  Being a scrapper, a plain old notebook seemed just that, too plain.  I made the cover with some scraps, a couple border punches and some rickrack.  Ken helped with the Zutter Bind-it-All and we came up with a notebook that  I think this is much cuter than the school variety.  There is no end to what you can do with your scrapbooking tools and supplies.
