Saw it on Pinterest (of course...) and loved it. The idea is that you write down the year and then a line or two about what you are doing on that day. After time has passed, you'll have an entry for each year and you can look back and see what was happening in your life over time. If you want to see the original Pinterest post, click here. Hers looks more "French Country" than ours, but we like ours!
Here's how we did it. First, we gathered our supplies, including some old notecard boxes, pretty paper, adhesives, paper cutter, stamp pad, date stamp, index cards and photos. Whew!
After cutting the index cards (4x6) in half (final measured 3" wide and 4" high), we took turns stamping the date on the cards. You need a little backer paper, because you don't want the year to show, so you have to line up the stamp so only the month and day are on the card, with the year stamped off the card, on the backer paper--ours also had "rec'd" behind the date on the stamp we had.
We were already tired when March came around...
But we persevered! We felt like this was one of our more successful days! We went out and got some lunch, enjoyed the day, and came home with a finished product...well, almost. I think I am going to add the names of the months to my dividers. Melissa wants to wait until the new year to begin hers. I am starting a new job next week and think I will break it out in my new office. Here, again, are our projects. Love them!Melissa's:
