Notebook Hack

One thing I could not live without is my idea journal. Anytime I'm inspired by something or come up with an idea it's documented in the journal. To keep these ideas organized, I created some tabs for my notebook. Any guesses what the tabs are made of?

If you said Japanese masking tape, you're right! All I did was fold a piece of masking tape over both sides of one page to create a tab. One nice thing about using tape for tabs is that it's flexible and will not tear off. Any masking tape will do but Japanese masking tape adds charm.

Each tab coordinates with a different category.

Life Hack: Coffee Cup Cozy

I've been seeing a lot of patterns to make coffee cup cozies online. I was thinking of making one until I came up with this idea. Just use a sock (preferably a new one) and place it over the cup then fold down. That's it, takes a couple of seconds to do. I used a standard woman's size sock for the cup above.
