I definitely want to do the Bee Hexagonal Journal! There is another that is a folded paper journal that looks like fun to do.

Borrowed from Central Library MKE

I like the step-by-step instructions, although I have to confess that I've never actually followed any of them. One day, perhaps.

[Laura Salas]

These are very specific books, for the most part--fruit recipe book, etc. But there's a cute matchbook cover book that I think would be cool to learn how to do.
