DIY - What I did this past week:

Happy Face to the Rescue!  

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.
