According to Literature Alive by Cay Gibson, a commonplace book is a "bound volume in which…readers…would copy out their favorite poems from manuscript" (page 97).  This idea appealed to me because I’m always coming across things I want to write down.  So, using one of Dawn’s ideas, I made a commonplace book for me.

The one on the left is my new prayer journal and the one on the right is my commonplace book.  I can’t wait to start using them.

    Hey KC!
    What kind of adhesive did you use? I am thinking that I should use spray adhesive because it has a lower water content and makes less wrinkles?? What do you think?
