Easy DIY project

Today a fine drizzle transformed into a flurry. On a blustery day like this, cheer yourself up with a rescue project. You see all that discarded paper languishing in the recycling bin? Paper that's been printed on just one side, gift wrapping, a ceral box or two? Retrieve the paper, grab some string and glue (or a plastic comb binder if you have access to a school supply closet), and craft yourself a unique, personalized notebook. Don't forget to use the cereal box for the covers.

You'll wonder why you ever bought those lame notebooks at Walmart.

You will be inspired.

Help your friends become as cool as you and call up the ReStore to schedule a Notebook Soiree for your next rescue mission. A ReStore representative (me) will bring paper rescued from local businesses and all other necessary supplies. Call 218.999.9099 and ask for Johanna (yes, me).
