Calendar Journal

You might be wondering what a Calendar Journal is.  Well, it is a kind of daily journal that only requires that you only write down one thing that happened that day.  It is perpetual, so you just choose the card date, write down the year, then write down that one thing.  It can be anything from someone's birthday to what TV show you watched that night.  It is something simple...short, sweet, and to the point.  The fun thing will be to look back and see what you were doing on that day over the past few years.

This is not my idea.  I got it from Kate Pruitt from Design Sponge.  Go check it out, she has a lovely tutorial for it.

It does take a while to do it.  I suggest popping in your favorite movie and getting comfy.  I watched "Rocky Horror Picture Show" while I did mine.  If you do this, please let me know what movie you watched!

I used a paper mache box to put my cards in.  I also used the Echo Park papers from the "For the Record" line.  I thought it was appropriate for the theme of this project!  I made dividers, and on the backs of them is room to write more things...maybe like that months birthdays and anniversaries!

I am debating on whether to start it now, mid year, or wait until January.  Hummmmm...

Stay Crafty, My Friends!
