Autism Puzzle Piece Handmade Mini Notebooks


I LOVE helping people! I really love it when it saves them time and money.
There is some family out there thanking God that their mother, Cathy, Vice President of Autism Solution Pieces, found me.

WHY?

Well, if it wasn’t for me, they would be spending their Easter Break coloring and cutting out puzzle pieces for  ASP Fundraiser Event. I know how that goes! Believe me, as a teacher I drafted my family on more than one occasion for this type of “family bonding”. Funny, they never really saw it the way I did. My teenager would probably use words like “child labor” and “sweat shop” in moments like this.

Upon hearing that, I knew I had to save that poor family from that type of torture.  So, I put on my Cricut Cape and went to work.

In about an hour I had a ton of pieces in all different sizes.
This puzzle piece shape along with 4 mini puzzles can be found on the
I have a serious issue with wasting paper- thus the name
“Blessed Scrapper.”
I am known for keeping scraps and giving them new life.
So, when using the Cricut Craft Room or my Gypsy to design something I fill every space I can. I thought the smaller ones would come in handy at some time.
                                                           and they did!!
I made some little notebooks for those wonderful ladies who volunteer so much of their time to helping families with Autism.
I started out with my favorite little composition books from the Dollar Store.
3/$1.00 and a great way to use up scraps.

I made them in minutes, because that was all I had.  One of the them was on her way to pick the pieces up.  So I grabbed whatever scraps I had laying around and added the puzzle pieces and their initials.  The decorative zip strips from the papers really came in handy for these mini notebooks.
These little books were my way of thanking them for all of their hard work and all they are doing to help families with Autism. I like to do that. I think just recognizing people in little ways like that is fun. Especially volunteers!

One reads, together, we can move mountains and the other, On the Road to Paradise.   As a Christian I believe that.  This is just the pathway we are taking until we reach heaven (Paradise).
My journey, thus far, has been a long and interesting one. I will be sharing it this month to honor Autism Acceptance Month. I hope you’ll come back.
