Perpetual Calendar

A good while ago my lovely friend Sue posted this link on F/B..click here ..l liked the look of this simple little calendar. I have always been rubbish at keeping a diary, although I can talk for England, I never have enough to write in a daily diary.....so just writing one line each day really appealed to me.

I decided to have a go.


Firstly I downloaded this ledger paper and printed it out onto white card, both sides. Sounds like a lot of printing , it was..but I had an old printer that i wanted rid of, but it still had loads of ink in it that needed using up....so I did lol you could just buy index cards.

So I printed and trimmed... I also ran a burgundy promarker around all the edges.

I stamped dates on all the cards.

and on the front card for each month I added a tab for the name of the month.

Sheesh...how many cards....it took me ages...

I bought 12 postcards from a local shop to use as dividers, they all have vintage scenes from my area,

and here is how it works. Write the year on the left and use one, or two if you have to,line to make a quick note of that day.

At the moment they are stood in a boring little box which needs decorating...when I get around to it...
