Pinterest Inspiration

Pin It

I apologize in advance for my short post. I am running out of time to get my project for the Amber Inklings Pinny party posted. I need to get the post up and start on dinner, laundry, etc.

My daughter has found the internet. Now all around the PC, there are little scraps of paper with her passwords, etc. for the websites she likes to visit. After getting a little push from the Pinny party on the Amber Inklings blog, I decided to make her a little book to keep her password info and the phone numbers of her friends.

Inside I have sections for passwords, address/phone numbers, and note pages. Here is a link to the template I made for the inside pages. I warn you they are not great but they serve the purpose. Feel fee to download and use as you would like at http://www.mediafire.com/?66wg24i4j0649xn. I think I set it up so that it works. Let me know if you have a problem.

I was inspired by this address book

and this password book that pinned on Pinterest

This was the first time I used the Zutter Bind It All that I bought from a friend. Here is a link to the tutorial I used to figure out how to use it.

You still have a few hours to join the Pinny party. It looks like will be fun. Next week I will plan my time better so that I am not so rushed.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hey girlfriend, I'm so late (ugh been so busy) but first I love this book. What really caught my eye is the password list. I am so going to have to attempt to make one :-). Your coloring is awesome. I totally love it. I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing and joyful Christmas. I may be quiet but am always sending thoughts your way. Hugs
