Sigh, so work has been a bit stressful lately. The other night, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, so I escaped into my craft studio to play around with paper.

I have been doing a lot of tidying up after reading Marie Kondo’s book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing (my review here) and I found a lot of scrap paper.

I wanted to make more of the little DIY notebooks I made a while ago. This time, I added some washi tape and a ribbon to tie it closed.

This little project definitely helped me feel calm and re-centered for a new day!
