   Way to follow-through with this project, that was quite the effort! Taking steps to be green at home is worthwhile, but I like that you will have this when you are out-and-about and it should function as a conversation starter!

   I think this is the greatest invention I’ve seen so far! What a great way to save money and the Earth! I’m more of a day-to-day person, so a monthly cardboard-miracle would be best! I’m also an artist, so maybe I can insert some blank pages for drawing… actually, I can make my own sketch book! Thanks for the amazing article!

   Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! Once you make your sketch book, snap a couple of pics and send them in and we’ll post them on the site.

   [...] For the past few years, I’ve been buying Slingshot organizers each December.

I forgot to pick up a new Slingshot (maybe I should have written that on the calendar somewhere?) and then today ran across this awesome tutorial on making your very own planner out of trash on greenUpgrader!
