I am supposed to be writing out checks to all the artists at Jersey Made.   For some reason though I cannot get past the fact that the checks that came from the bank did not come with a checkbook cover.   When did banks stop supplying these?      I have the checks & the register and have been carrying that around with a giant binder clip!

So……

I decided to make myself a check book cover.   It came out much nicer than anything the bank ever sent me anyway and it is custom made for the jumbo size checks that come with a business account.

I used eyelets on the sides to keep the flaps in place that will hold my checks on one side and the register on the other.   Then I made some of  my charming cords to make a tie that wraps around it.   An old re-used charm was attached to the end so that when flipped underneath it made a closure!

Now I am going to sell it back to the bank.   I think the $19.99 that they are now charging me for the checks that they once promised me for free would be an acceptable charge!

In the midst of my distraction, art was created….  I am off to write checks now.

Thanks for reading…..
