Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box.

This usually keeps them in a rut of wearing clothes that don't quite flatter them as they are now, which in turn keeps them constantly in limbo w/ their weight b/c they're constantly feeling wistful about where they're not instead of trying to work with where they're at.
That snowflake puzzle is VERY impressive!
