Best of My Days 2021 {free download}

It’s here – the 2021 Best of My Days notepad!

I realized this year is the 10th anniversary of me doing these. I’d love to hear how many of you have been keeping these the last 10 years. Late November is when you all start emailing and leaving comments asking me about these – always a reminder to me to get started on the new one! I actually use a 10 year journal, so I always forget about these until you guys remind me. Thank you! It makes me so happy that many of you are still doing these. I’m, obviously, not a graphic designer, so it will always baffle me that so many of you still love these! Thank you!

I began making these in 2011 – you can read the original post here.

The idea is super simple. Each day write down the best moment of the day (or something close). Some days it is easy to think of something. Some days are terrible and this practice can help find beauty in each day.

Print the 4 sheets onto white cardstock
Cut out each month. The easiest way I found to do it is line the left side up at 4″ and cut. Then rotate it upside down and cut it 3.5″. Finally trim the others to 3.5″ (see photos below).
Punch a hole in the top corner and add a ring to the top if you’d like or leave loose
Wrap cutely if giving as a gift. This year I was a little rushed, so the wrapping isn’t the cutest. I am including pictures from past years to give you better wrapping ideas!

These work great for adults, teens, and kids. You could also use them as little add-ons to tie on a gift or tuck a gift card inside. Place them in a basket to give to those to stop by your house this season or add them to a hostess gift. Really, they are crazy simple and you can be infinitely creative in how you use them!
