Krista,
Once again a fabulous idea that I have utilized!!! Great job!!
For the journals, I took a shortcut though.
I found these "Do It Yourself" Presentation Kits at Staples that come with 50 pages pre-punched paper, 2 clear view covers, 2 black back covers, and 2 Pro Click binding spines. The pack was $6.49.
I printed out all the journal pages and covers onto the pre-punched paper, added the clear front cover as well as the black back cover, clicked together the binding spines, and VOILA, instantly bound journals.
Just an idea for anyone looking for a faster way to do it.
