I can’t believe it…I’m back! Thank you all for understanding that sometimes a gal just needs a bit of a blogging break now and then. I was so fortunate to be able to spend the past two weeks with my little family to enjoy Christmas and New Year’s. Being able to just spend time together was a fantastic and much needed break, but now I’m back and ready to start sharing with all of you again.
I love January for so many reasons. It’s a fresh start on the year, it’s my birthday month, and it’s the time of year when I absolutely love to get organized. One small way I always try to stay organized on a day to day basis is to carry a mini notepad with me anywhere I go. I know in this day of iPhones that a lot of people don’t do the whole “pencil & paper” thing anymore, but I know I always will be a sucker for jotting down a nice old fashioned list!
While I was organizing my craft supplies {because I’ll be honest, it looked like a bomb went off in my office closet}, I found these cute little notepads that I had purchased this past summer at the Target Dollar Spot and some black glittery letter stickers. Instant {and free–well kind of} project!
I simply added stickers to personalize the notepads so they felt a little more “me.”
On one, I just put the letter M for my first name…
I figured that I’d use this notepad to jot down quick lists for the grocery store or errands that I had to run that day.
And on the second, I added the word “ideas”…
This one will serve as my blog project idea notepad. I don’t know about you, but I always get inspired to create while I’m out during the day {at the grocery store, sitting at a red light, you name it really}. Having this little notepad will definitely help me to remember those great ideas that pop out at me!
How do you stay organized on the go?

Cute and simple – my kind of project!! 🙂
Thanks Adrianne!
Great idea!
I second Adrianne. Cute, simple and free (sort of)!
Yes, sort of free….but at least they were cheap when I did actually buy them!
Great idea! I love to carry a little note book with me too. I think I need to personalize mine though. Thanks for the inspiration.:)
You are so welcome….and they are super easy! Just pop a sticker on 🙂
They came out so pretty … and are so handy too!
These are so super cute! I always a little pad of paper nearby to jot down notes, lists, etc. I think making it personalized adds a little bit of fun to a “chore”.
I definitely agree with you on it adding some fun to a “chore”! Thanks for stopping by!
Cute! I loveee the Target $1 spot. I def make lists on my iPhone, but when I have a lot of things going on I immediately go to pen & paper. Would love for you to link up at my Pin It Thursday party! http://www.sweetbellaroos.com/2013/01/03/pin-it-thursday-16/

Nice, simple idea. Thanks for sharing!
very cute! I too am often inspired at random out-of-the-house moments. Sometimes just looking at a cute notebook is an inspiration.
Love these notepads!
Why, thank you!!
So cute! I totally need an “idea” one! I always come up with some cute ideas while I am out an about and have totally forgotten them by the time I pull into the garage! Thanks for sharing!
Take care,
