Conquering my ‘To Do’ list has become very important to me. I have so many projects that I want to do and so little time in which to do them that I have to schedule it with Hubby if I really want to get something done.
Saturday I had, had, had to finish some of them as they were part of a gift for my Littlest Sister’s birthday (littlest is so funny as she will be 24 and she is almost 6 feet tall, but she still is the skinniest so I guess she is little). My parents were heading down her way on Sunday so I figured I should finish up and save on the shipping.
Little Sis and I were talking about all the inspirations we have about stuff to do. That same day I received an email from Home Made Simple and there was this inspiration book. I knew I had to make her one. But, I did change it up just a little. I did not glue three pages together to make the page with the tab as I felt that was a waste of paper. And I didn’t write on the fabric, I just left it blank for her. I added some funky magnet paper clips (I should have photographed the whole present) and some matchy matchy stickies that she could use in the book. Hopefully it will give her inspiration to get going on her ‘To Do’ list as well.
She also mentioned wanting a reusable coffee holder, so I made her a couple with the same fabric as her laptop sleeve. These were the first two I have ever made, so they are not perfect, but she is used to trying out prototypes for me. I hope she loves it and gets some good use out of it.
I also added some fun stuff for her and I made one more thing. But, just in case she is reading this (watch today will be the day she checks out my blog) I don’t want to ruin the whole surprise. So Happy Early Birthday Littlest Sis, hope you have fun with Mom and Dad and we will chat on your real birthday in a little bit.

Hi I love your craft ideas. I was looking at your organizer and the wall
paper shops give away old book they would be great for the time of thing. I am sure you could think of things to make with them. Have a great day.
Super cute! Very crafty of you!
