Monday, August 29, 2011 at 11:34AM | 4 Comments Tonight Brandon grilled us steak and I was in charge of the potato – the beni-imo (Okinawa purple sweet potato) to be specific. We both really like sweet potato fries, so I decided to try making beni-imo wedges. While in Okinawa, consume as much beni-imo as possible, right?

Over the past two years, I’ve been helped with my couponing by a handy coupon organizer. Unfortunately, it was showing some wear and tear lately and the elastic closure had almost completely torn through the front cover. I could have just bought another coupon holder, but then I thought what about making a unique cover for the holder that would make me smile every time I see it?

Surprisingly that size seems to be more expensive than I’d like to pay over here. So, I grabbed the cardboard template I’d made a few years ago when I was making custom envelopes out of magazines and old calendars (great up-cycling project, by the way), some white printer paper, my double-sided tape, and went to town replenishing my envelope stock.
