For 2013, I'm keeping a notebook of gratitude, writing down 3 things each day for which I'm thankful. I'm writing more about what's on my list and why I'm doing this on my personal blog. Here, I'm sharing the journal I made for this adventure.
I knew that it would be easier for me to keep up with my commitment if I had a specific place to track my list. So because I love pretty things, I made this ring journal. The calendar pages are made with Captivating 2012: December by Captivated Visions and the Calendar font (available free at FontSpace.) Most pages are 3x5 cards, and the covers are made from chipboard, the covered with some graphics I printed from free downloads available at aholyexperience.com:
- Complete Joy Collection (scroll down a bit and look for the words "How to Make Joy-in-a-Box: Download the Completel JOY Collection (all completely free)")
- Joy Dare Collection (scroll down just past the list of "10 Wondrous Links for Your Advent Weekend" and in the blue box, look for the words "Print the whole year's collection of Joy Dares right here.)
Since I was creating calendar pages for myself, I packed them up as a free download for you. These are sized for my project, so each calendar is about 2.5" x 2.75". In months where only the last 1-2 days wrapped onto a line, I combined mine, but I also created a version that is not combined. For example, here are the two grids for June 2013:
