I think we often forget that an abundance of simple things can really make us happy! I thought having this beautiful image (released today at Cornish Heritage Farms) and a reminder that simplicity is a good thing would make for a happy notebook.
I used chipboard to make new covers for the book as the original ones were a bit flimsy, I just used those as a template to punch the holes for the wire spine. The insides of the covers are stamped with burlap too so that the texture carries over.
