I’ve found a fresh new calendar journaling system.
I’ve always thought it was the system I grew tired of. But now I think it’s the monotony of the same old, same old.
I sometimes want to stop calendar journaling. It must have gotten into my blood stream...as I cannot let it go. And that’s okay for me right now. This is the 6th year I am documenting my daily life.
For 2019, I have found Dyan Revealey’s Dylusions Dyalog System. You can google it to see how this system works. There are a lot of options for all types of journaling.
I’ve chosen this canvas Dyalog journal cover.
And I’ve chosen the Backgrounds Dyalog Insert Book. The pages are colorful and blank. You can add whatever type of artwork you choose. I have chosen to use the pages as a calendar.
There are several insert book styles to choose from. There are enough blank pages for me to journal 2 years in this one little book. There are twelve page designs repeated twice.
For January 2019 I’ve used washi tapes for my grid and as collage art for the bits of blank areas. Opened, the page measures 8” X 8.5”. A bit smaller than I am used to. I think it will work out great.
The only troublesome part of my new system is that the book paper did not like it when I wanted to reposition “some” washi tapes. The paper stuck to the washi.
But I think it works out okay as part of the charm of collage art.
Now to see how it goes as I’m back to designing the calendar pages. I hope I don’t hate it.
My ultimate wish is that one of these awesome background artists will design a calendar journal completely each year so that I just need to buy it and enjoy their artwork and simply add my daily words.
I’m looking forward to this new journaling venture.
Happy TwentyNineteen!
