The Little Red Book


Here's another of my homemade gifts for Shayne last week.  I saw a really lovely idea on Oh Happy Day way back in January that I thought would be perfect for him.  My man loves lists, and this is a little book of lists for him to reference and add to.  I purchased a red moleskin and divided it up into the categories of : Watch, Listen, Read, Eat, Play, Shop, Enjoy, Visit, and Write.  
It was a collation of ideas/recommendations  from all our friends and family who were very helpful as there was no way I could think of everything myself! He loved it, and I'm so glad he now has somewhere to write all the stuff he wants to do in the future as well.  Now he never has to worry about what movies he wants to see, or what book he wants to read next, or where to take his wife for dinner!! ;o)

  3. Yes Jenn, I cut out all the tabs myself. Not as hard as it looks as long as you have a metal rule, a blade and a cutting mat. I did each tabbed group as one cut.
