Making a Quote Book

I'd like to share with you a project I started a few months back when I was feeling a little down. It's my Inspirational Quote Book. I found this notebook at the Dollar General for two bucks. There are several different designs and I probably bought one of each! Notebooks are one of my weaknesses. I just love them!

I am always pinning cute quotes on Pinterest and I wanted a creative way to have them in a book that I could refer to when I was feeling blue. Sooo, I pulled out my Sharpies, colored pencils, highlighters and calligraphy pen and started drawing. I'm not an artist by ANY means, but it was good therapy and I have a cute little book that I can add to as the mood strikes.

 This is a good project to do with kiddos or even to make as a gift for someone that may need encouragement. I made a pocket size one for the Hubs to carry in his truck for days that he is feeling especially stressed. They don't all have to be inspirational quotes. I like to sprinkle in some comical ones as well. The hubs favorite quote is "You can't shoot stupid people!"

Here are some pics of a few of my pages. (Sorry for the blurriness!)
