Forever ago I pinned this idea from Design Sponge. And I thought now is as perfect time as ever to start it, a brand new year. The idea is to write one sentence everyday describing something about that day. A big thing or just a little thing. Then, every year you do the same thing as another entry for that day. A journal of sorts, but instead of having to flip back through an actual calendar you can see right there what you did the year before on that day – kinda’ neat huh?
Well, and OF COURSE, I had to put my spin on it – with a free printable for ya ;) “Hi! I’m Melissa & I love designing printables for you – nice to meet you! :)”
There are three PDF’s below, each with four different months. They are each sized at 4”Wx4.75H”, and four of them will print out on a sheet. I printed mine out on heavy cardstock & then laminated them (remember these need to hold up for years & I imagine that some little kiddo hands might be getting into them over the years – just a prediction ;) I also fancied up the top of each card using these scalloped scissors. I used ruled 4×6” index cards & cut 2” off of the right side to make them 4×4” (so they would fit in my porcelain berry carton).
Supplies I used:
- Porcelain Berry Basket (I got mine eons ago, but this one is very similar to mine) & Anthropologie also makes this very pretty one too!
- Paper Edgers Scallop Scissors
- Laminator
- Index Cards, White, Ruled, 4 x 6
(4 packs – 100 each)
- White Card Stock

I’m keeping it in my kitchen, so that I see it everyday to prompt me to fill it out.
Are you going to do it with me? Pretty please?!
Do you think I will keep it up? Will you?
Let’s do it together, we can hold each other accountable & remind each other!!!
Sounds like a plan-stan :)

Oh my gosh!!! I have been planning to do this exact same thing after I saw that exact same pin! I even bought some supplies for it before Christmas, but I’ve still been planning it out in my head so haven’t made any actual progress ;) I’ve been writing things down though so I’m definitely on board with you! Now I’ve got yours to inspire me, so I must get started! Love your design and colors, you rocked it!

I have something similar pinned and I really would like to do it but I am afraid that most of my days will be lame. “Went to work” ditto ditto ditto, lol.

hehe yeah I hear ya! I’m hoping I kind of find at least one original moment each day that isn’t – “changed a poopy diaper” – hahaha, although, it is what it is, & although the creative juices do flow most of the time – I do believe “changed a poopy diaper” may have to be an inevitable back up ;) Thanks for stopping by Ginger & leaving my some lovely comment love!!! xx ♥ m
