The Book of Days 2023

I'm doing my Book of Days theme again for 2023.

My only rules for myself are Keep It Simple (KIS) and Have Fun.

The challenge involves using a weekly planner. I purchased a Rachel Parcell Blue Sky 5" x 8" Weekly & Monthly Planner January to December 2023. It has less pages than the Cupcakes and Cashmere one that I bought in previous years, but cost more money. I couldn't find the Cupcakes and Cashmere one that I usually get.

I re-used the 2" x 1.5" tabs template that I created with GIMP, and reused the divider tabs that I made for 2019, then printed them on card stock paper, cut them out, and Elmer's glue sticked them into the planner.

The weekly challenge themes are listed below, and I will add links to my entries as I create them. My weeks start on Monday. This blog entry will serve as my master index to them.
