I heart packages and my repurposed "teacher notebook"

So today after I got home from working at my in law's furniture store (which you should go like their facebook page here: The Bed Bug Furniture on FAcebook) I checked the mailbox and front porch to find this:


The small package contained my bible cover I ordered from Etsy which looks like this:


Package 2 was my winnings from ohboy4thgrade
hello awesome and amazing Vera Bradley package and surprise earrings. 

It came with a notebook, binder, folder and super cute notepad
it's okay for you to be a little jealous:)


At the end of each school year I head out in search for my newest teacher notebook. During the summer I begin brainstorming, making lists (oh so many lists), and lesson planning. All which are housed in my handy dandy notebook.  I have a slight obsession with collecting journals and notebooks and found this one on my bookshelf ready to be written in.  I wasn't a fan of the design 

I altered it and turned it into this:

and added tabs to section it off:

super simple.
low hassle.

Do you have a teacher notebook and if so what do you use it for? ready...set..share!
