Cubicle Crafts: Cardboard Inspiration Notebooks

I love notebooks. Love. However, I'm obnoxiously picky about them - they need to have hard backs (none of this flimsy stuff!), but the front cover also needs to be able to fold behind the back all the way, so hard-backed journal-type notebooks won't work. I also want to be able to easily remove pages without making it look ratty. Once I could drive, back-to-school shopping became an epic tour of every stationery store in the state. If I found JUST the right notebooks, it was an auspicious omen for the school year!

I'm not in school anymore, but these notebooks (almost) make me wish I were!!

How To: Hearty Split Pea Soup

Okay, so after my crazyspaz post last night, I realized that (relative) poverty will be much, much more fun if I turn it into a fun challenge (and an endless stream of how-tos). :) Because then I am doing it for science. (Also, me and [livejournal.com profile] havocthecat decided about 8 seconds ago that we should all share cheap and homemade tips and projects with each other, because the not-so-great depression has made "cheap and homemade" cool instead of lame.)
