So for todays project, I’ve created a set of two covered notebooks featuring Off to the Races. Covering notebooks is a lot of fun and an easy way to personalize it for the hostess. You’ll want to read the tutorial below and learn how quick and easy it is to recreate these covered notebooks at home." ~Katelyn
