aside: date book
Published by reverendmother 1 year agoMamala gave me a very cool “Women Artists” Date Book 2008. Help me think up a good and worthy use for it in this digital age! It’s too lovely to go unused.

You can use it as a permanent birthday/anniversary book.
YOu can use it to write down SBJ’s accomplishments.
YOu can use it to keep track of your books that you’re reading–all 999 of them.
What’s cool about it is it includes poetry as well as visual art.
Just look at it occasionally…that’s what I’m doing with my copy, knowing that Outlook syncs with my iPhone and that’s what keeps me on track. I use this (Artists’ datebook) more as a meditation.
I carried something like this with me (along with a glue stick) when my daughter and I would travel.
Whenever she saw something that she wanted to save, (ticket stubs, special leaves, swizzle sticks from an ice cream soda etc etc) we would glue it into the book. After a few trips, we continued this even when at home.
Those books are in my hurricane evacuation box.
When my children were very young, I used a datebook to write down significant events that I didn’t want to forget but did not have time to put in a nice baby book..first tooth, first words, first step.
Maybe it can be a “mom’s memory” for you during these busy days and then one day you can tranfser the baby facts to a baby book or sorts.
