Craft Day - Best of My Days Notepad


This next project from Craft Day was one of my favorites...and I'm super excited to do this each day next year.  It is straight from one of my favorite blogs - Under the Sycamore. Ashley is so creative and comes up with the best ideas.  It's a notepad that you put together where you can record the best of your day at the end of each day.  I love this, because I feel like I always need a way to reflect back what happened and memories that were made, but in a "nugget" sort of way.  I don't always have a long time to journal, so this is a great way to get a snapshot of something great that happened or that I want to remember.  
To get started...
Head to Under the Sycamore and get one of Ashley's 2 free printables for this project.  It includes January through December 2012 with all the dates for each month.  There are 3 months per page; cut them into even "pages."

Stack the months together and punch a hole through the top left corner.  I put a metal ring through so the pages can turn easily.  
I copied Ashley's cute way of wrapping with a Starbucks cup sleeve (can never have too many of these!).  I turned it inside-out and wrapped around the cards, then wrapped some baker's twine around it all.
This makes a super cute gift for family, friends, or teachers.  I can't wait to use mine this next year to help remember all the great stuff that God has blessed us with and help record some great memories.
