Fun stuff for scrapbookers!

My new items from CafePress arrived yesterday and I wanted to share... last year I designed a combination datebook/gratitude journal for scrapbookers. With the birth of my youngest daughter in June, my design work took a huge back seat and I didn't do much of anything scrapbook-related (except take 100s of photos!!) until the last month or so. But then I was contacted by someone who purchased my datebook last year and wanted to know if I was doing one for 2009. Since she loved it - and so do I - I decided to go ahead and do one, even though the year had already started.

So... here it is. There's an individual page for the beginning of each week with an inspirational quote, "to do" list, and room for a grocery list. That is followed by an individual page for each day of that week, with room for appointments, a place to mark holidays and occasions (major holidays are already filled in for you), room to jot down the dinner menu, a list for photos taken that day (so you can remember when you find time to scrapbook!), a box for little things you just want to remember, and a place to list 5 things you are grateful for that day.

New this year is a two-page full month calendar at the beginning of each month (thanks for the great idea, Nancy!). There are also various help items at the back of the book, including 2010 calendars and holidays, places to list gift ideas, favorite websites and phone numbers. The book itself is 5x8 inches, 458 pages. If you're interested in having one for yourself, you can find it here in my CafePress store. If you like it, let me know ... I'm planning early to do one for next year.
The other item is a mousepad, which I actually designed last year but just now got around to buying for myself. It has my favorite quote on it: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."  You can find it here if you'd like one of these.

Now, to get back to work ... I've been doing so much scrapbooking lately, my other "to do" list is getting a little long!! Enjoy!!!
