If it's cute, are you more likely to use it?

I made these little pocket journals for the young women I work with at church. There are only four of them in the 14-15 age group right now, so it's easy to sew for them. But I would like to come up with a way to encourage them to sew or create something. So I thought I would start with these little books. They are small enough to carry around, so ideas can be jotted down as they come.

These covers are so easy to make, I want to cover all my books. Hopefully the girls will like them as well. The fabric is Chocolate Lollipop by Anna Maria Horner.
