This is me...

Ranting, and writings and thoughts, and ideas, and the controlled randomness that is me...

The Evolution of The Idea

I was in Target recently. ( We LOVE Target, it is almost like a date night if we can get there without the kids! ) I saw this index card contraption. It had a plastic cover and dividers and back ( with pocket ) and of course, index cards in it as well. It was a study aid. I knew it was more. Well, I knew that I could make it for just the cost of the index cards. Mostly because I have the rest of that stuff at home! 

Tonight, I was thinking about how to implement the thought that "I can make that myself for cheaper" theory. I was gathering supplies, and it dawned on me, that this "modified" edition of what I saw in Target could be to hold photos. Like a photo book.

So, I set out to "Make It So". I now have an almost complete prototype of my photo book. ( name still be worked on ) I have made a few notes to improve the process for the next edition of (name still to be determined ).

As soon as I get this prototype finished, I will post some pics of it. Once I figure out a name, that too will be posted!

One reason that I am so pleased that I thought about these, is that this might just make a great "friends gift" for my kids to make and give out this year for the holidays! I do so love cheap gifts... I mean, homemade gifts!
