Beth says: "Looking ahead to 2010, one of my goals is to document day to day life more consistently. With the help of The Simple Woman’s Daybook, (http://thesimplewomansdaybook.blogspot.com/) I created a list of prompts to help me to do just that. Using Letterbox paper and buttons I designed twelve pages (one for each month), so that by the end of the year, with a simple binder ring, I’ll have a cute mini book of my 2010 everyday musings."

Here are Beth's instructions to create a book of your own!

For individual lists:

1.  Create list of prompts in Word.

2.  Print 12 copies of list and crop to 3” x 10”, leaving about 2” above the text and 3 ¼” below the text.

3. Cut twelve 3 x 2 ¾” blocks of coordinating patterned paper and adhere to the bottom of each list.

4. Cut twelve 3 x 1 ¾” blocks of coordinating patterned paper and adhere to the top of each list.

5. Round the corners of each page.

6. Add a coordinating button or embellishment to each page.

For cover:

1.  Create title in Word.

2. Print and trim title page to 3” x 10”.

3. Add two 3 x 2 ¾” blocks of patterned paper to the top and bottom of the cover page.

4. Round corners.

5. Add number stickers and button.
