DIY - What I did this past week:
I love my happy face beads. They are cute, colorful and invite me to be happy.
(Situation)
I received my final text book for my last college class for my Pharmacy Technician Diploma. This wonderful book is spiral bound, which is really a nice thing.
(Problem)
However, I have been running into problems with the top and bottom holes on my book pages coming off of the spiraling wire. This is aggravating to me and so I had to fix the problem.
(Solution)
So I thought of my smiley faced beads. I threaded them on the wire ends and to my elation, they fit really tight. I doubt they will fall off, but as soon as I find some super glue (it always goes missing at my house) I will double secure the beads on the wire with the glue.
The beads are doing a wonderful job holding the pages on the wire, there is no way that they will come off now. I love it!
Desired solution has been acquired!
No more pages escaping the wire binding!
I am not frustrated with my new book!
I am happy!
and we all know that if momma is happy, then the rest of the family, house, neighborhood, world can be happy as well!!
LOL.....................
Have a great week! Stop by again next week and share your Make-Do's once again for us to enjoy.

Well. fifth time is the charm today - I kept trying to leave a message, but the box wouldn't actually come up :-( I left and came back, left and came back ....
ReplyDeleteHi Shari :-) I've missed you! Honest!! So how did you do on all of your tests?
I like this bead on a spiral notebook idea!!! I HATE it when pages come loose and then it won't let you turn pages right ... grumble grumble!!!
Very useful idea indeed!
