I have been teasing my Flybaby friends that I had a new control journal in the works, and I'm finally ready to reveal the finished product!
It can sit front & center on my fridge. No post it notes falling all over, no pieces of paper taking up valuable counter real estate. I made magnets to cover the tasks as I complete them.
The list is very simple -Morning Routine, Before Bed Routine & Weekly Home Blessing. I may need to add a few more tasks, but it will do for now.
Now you may think I have gone a bit OTT with it. After all, a piece of paper in that page protector & a dry erase marker would accomplish the same thing. But I wanted something pretty to put a positive spin on the chores. I didn't have any fancy paper on hand to run through my printer, but I have been playing with GIMP so I'm chalking this up as a graphic design assignment. I started with this image from the lovely Graphics Fairy:
and turned it into this:
Finally I splurged on a collage sheet from piddix. The magnets were made with self-adhesive laminating sheets (no laminator needed!) and sticky-back magnets.
So there you have it, my pretty new control journal. Go on, admit it- you're totally jealous :D
