Personal Diary Insert - Month on One Page Plus Notes (Landscape)

We get frequent requests for new inserts in designs we don't already have in the extensive collection on our Diary Inserts page. Additions to the collection depend on a few factors:
  • Will this new design suit more than just the person requesting it?
  • Can one of our existing designs be easily adapted to the requested design? 
  • Does the new design replicate an existing commercially available design? 
Today's new release satisfies all of the above as far as I can tell. 


So this insert is a month on one page, plus a notes page, it is formatted in landscape format, so when turned around the two pages can be easily written on. 

This version is formatted for printing on Personal Size blank paper. For instructions on printing on personal paper please see this post

You can download and print finished versions for this year from our diary inserts page.

If you want to customise this insert to your own requirements you need to download the source files here Word file and the Excel file, you will need both. 

When you've made all the changes you like to the template, you can perform a mail merge to create your own insert for any period you like. Check out our Free Diary Inserts link if you want more information on how to do this, including videos.

Once again a big thank you to Ray at 'My Life All In One Place' for his hard work and co-operation with helping to create and support us with all these inserts.

Free For All Friday No. 446

June has arrived and we start to approach the mid-point of the year.

Do you do anything particular at the mid-point of the year?

I will be emptying my A5 soon and reviewing the contents. Filing and archiving information and pages. Checking up on anything that might have slipped through the cracks and updating various pages too.

Whilst it is empty I will give it a light clean, which is mainly removing paper dust that accumulates near to the rings. A strip of drafting tape (painters paper tape) is great for picking this up. It is simple and doesn't leave any residue behind.

It will also be a good time to check what I'm storing in the various pockets.

Will you be doing something similar?

Of course it is Friday so please free to discuss anything else ring bound related.

Have a great weekend.
