2013 Diary Experiment

(Updated to add that I found the stamps online but only in the US.)

Hi everyone!

Further to my 2013 Diary Dilemma, I'm conducting an experiment.

I got this stamp in Muji.  I've passed this up several times before, but this time, I decided to get it because the pens/refills I went there for were not in stock.  This was a good substitute.  (:

And I got to stamping!

I stamped the facing page of next week's Dodopad diary.

Lines will be used for To-Do items

I took a page from a 2012 WO2P cotton cream diary and stamped close to the rings. There was some show-through but I can live with that.  I put a page in this week's diary to test it out.

Back of the page.  Some show-through.

I also stamped on the WO1P diary that's in my Chameleon.

Appointment on outside of each page.  To-do items close to the rings.

This last photo is with next week's spread with to-do items away from the rings.

I was more careful and made stamping more even.

And then, it occurred to me that the pages look similar to the Swedish WO2P.  Similar, yes, but different enough in usage.

The idea is to separate appointments and to-do items on each day to maximize the page.  Also makes it easy it easy for me to spot to-dos vs. appointments. Right away, my first impression is that this could be a lot of work stamping each page multiple times.  ):  All in the name of research!

What I love though is that I seem to have just doubled my writing space!

I have no idea whether it will work out, but I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for visiting!
