Notebook Challenge w/c 13 July

The first thing we need to do is to find a suitable binder, mine is 2", red with 4 rings. I have found that something where pages can be added / removed is the best so that things are kept neat and up to date.

Next you will need some dividers either the coloured card ones or as I use a clear plastic sleeve with a tab - I have then printed out the pages and inserted them into the sleeve and labelled the tab.

I have the following sections:-
CALENDERS
HOLIDAY GRAND PLAN
CLEANING CHECKLISTS
RUDOLPH CLUB
CARDS & GIFTS
DECORATIONS
CRAFTS
FOOD
CELEBRATIONS
ADVENT
TRADITIONS
HOLIDAY MEDIA
NOTES.

You may also want to add a Recipe Section, I have rather a lot so use a dedicated notebook for this.

Everyones notebook is individual so feel free to choose the sections you think you will need or combine some of them together. You may find after you have used it for a while you wnat to alter or change things around. Remember it needs to work for YOU, so everyones will be different.

Here is a link for some Notebook covers and dividers.

Went to the dollar store today and bought tabbed index dividers for my binder. Looks like I won't be able to get a new binder this year, but hubby has a lot so I can borrow one of his. :D
