A lot of these scrapbook how-to videos are about making your packaging for candies, chocolate bars, etc. as "gifts for your kids' teachers (or postman)." But it's always struck me as risky because of possible unknown allergies.
And I prefer to give little gifts that are actually useful. And the idea occurred to me that a booklet with seven pockets, could be like those pill organizers with seven compartments, to organize your medications, only with my idea, each pocket could hold (maybe) a 3" by 5" index card for that day's notes (to write down phone numbers for people you meet, to-do lists, etc.). So I was thinking it would need to be extra durable paper to hold up. ...I was thinking wall paper samples, from those discontinued sample books would be good...
Oh, and speaking of beads for braille, there is a scrapbooking supply which is specifically for decorating greeting cards with sheets of seed beads with strong stickum on their backs, so you can just take them off the sheet their sold on (sort of like candy dots), and stick them on the card... so you don't have to sew them on.
