I love this idea! Great way to recycle- my girls love store bought journals- now they can make their own. 🙂

This looks like a fun project my family will do. We try to write in our journals at least once a week. This post made me realize we didn’t do it last week. We had company in town.

My oldest son is a lefty. I bet we could put the stick and opening at the top.

Thanks for the fun idea and reminder to write in our journals.

I love an ’empty book’ as an adult — even more so, one that I have invested my own energy into. Great tutorial. Thanks

ooohhh… i LOVE this! i spend so much money buying journals for my girls that this is both a great cost saver and craft and frankly, just way cooler then the stuff you can buy.

I will refer to this during the down weeks this summer! thanks for this great idea! i’ll send you a photo when we make them!

These are awesome! I think my kids would love to do these (especially my 4 year old who is really into making up stories). Thanks for posting the directions!

I love Susan’s ideas! It’s heart-warming to see your young students are so delighted with being able to make something “real” and useful – and they immediately want to make one for someone else. Beautiful!
