DIY: secret storage books

guess what.

the books on the top shelf, they're not books!

instead, they are very crafty ways to make secret storage spaces.

i love the idea.

i have seen people cut out holes in books and hide stuff inside,

but that is way too time consuming.

why not just make your very own secret storage book and call it a day!

this project was created by brenna from paper and ink (cute tutorials),

but the tutorial will be found on Design*Sponge.

DIY: loving this scrapbooklet

project #4 of 31 in august

this is when i would kill for a craft store near by.

cory and i have so many fun pictures from our newlywed adventures.

this little scrapbooket would be a perfect keepsake for him... or me!

i found this incredibly cute tutorial on a new favorite

this series is on the lovely blog marta writes. (great blog)

there are so many fun features in the 'how-to series'

from things like:

'how-to pick the right throw pillows' to 'how-to plan a childs party'

it's refreshing to see a tutorial site with more than just craft projects...

(says the girl who's blog is only craft project tutorials)

anyways, back to the scrapbooket.

the tutorial might have been featured on the how-to series,

but it was made by eeny from eeny's universe.

 i think she did a great job with this tutorial, you will agree.

promise.
