  my diy dayplanner

i don't normally make books quite like these, but it was really the best method for a dayplanner.  the bookrings are 3/4" & allow the book to lay completely flat.  they also allow you to add or remove paper.  i used scrapbook paper to cover the boards.  the book is approximately 5 1/4" by 4 1/4".

  the inside cover

again i used scrapbook paper for the dividers.  the paper was quite thick; however.  intead of using words for each 'subject', i used stickers.  i made these w/ my star hole punch & random stickers i already had.  the orange rectangle is for my name, addy, etc.

  the montly calendar

our microsoft word program is not working for some reason, so i chose to handwrite the calendars.  i actually like this a lot better.  the paper is from miniature yellow legal pads i found at walmart.  i had to hole punch them, though.  the orange & green boxes are partially covered by a bookmark divider i made.  the boxes are actually mini post it squares.

  the weekly calendar

i also wrote out the weekly calendars.  i guess you'd have to be a bit anal to do this.  you could easily do this w/ a spreadsheet program.  you just have to ask yourself, "what's easier to manipulate; a computer program or my brain?" 

the rest of the sections have yet to be completed as i have not decided what to put in them.  addresses would be good, but i made an address book awhile back that i do not want to part with.  i'll think of something.

the end.
