DIY Perpetual Journal.

Awhile back I saw a really cute idea for a perpetual journal- it was designed to jot down the highlight of your day on one index card, year after year. I thought it was a great idea for those of us who love the idea of journaling but might lack the time and commitment.

So I set out to make my own!

I started with a bunch of index cards, a paper cutter, a date stamp, and ink pad.

I cut the index cards in half with the paper cutter - I can't recall the exact measurement but I used the large index cards. Then I stamped the upper left corner of each index card with Jan 1 - Dec 31.

This was the most time consuming part but I did it while watching TV and got into a little groove so it wasn't so bad! I also cut some card stock to use as the monthly dividers and stamped those with the months.

 I really like the way it turned out!!

 I also wrapped it in some twine and just listed it on etsy!

I'm typically not a craft maker...but this was kind of fun and really easy!
