Happy Halloween!  Well, not quite, but it's never too soon to start planning, right? Halloween is probably my favorite holiday and  I guess I have a bit of the Halloween bug already.

Journal Box by Debi Tullier I love repurposing things and this time I am using a packing box. It is small and I think it is perfect for a little book holder.
