Here is the note I receieved:
Thank you so much for my library stamp! I'm using it in my bullet
journal and travelers notebook. Such a great find from a great shop! 😊
Of course I'd want a full tour of her travelers notebook and especially her bullet journal because I'm not even sure what a bullet journal is, so I googled it!
Interesting! I use something like a bullet journals to track my habits, daily supplement intake and exercise, but mine are just on graph paper.
I wish I could see more of how she uses hers, but what I can see is cool! Love the little details I can see, especially the cute hand drawn flowers and the diamond clip.
AFTER:
Love her handwriting and the March flower design!

My Etsy journal keeps track of our hours, "to do" lists, ideas, profits and fees, my favorite quotes, reminders and tons of other stuff.
Maybe this will inspire me to use colored pens, stickers or at least draw a little design here and there, like the flowers in the Etsy buyer's journal!
Above is an example of what the date looks like stamped. I use my stamper almost everyday, at least 3 times a week, when I write out "thank you" note packaging for all our outgoing orders.

Saying Goodbye: When I was teaching, this was a life saver! I don't know about you, but my students would have difficulties remembering to write their name and dates on all their papers and this simple tool would help them to remember and it became fun to remember their name and date!
So I would pass the date stamper and ink pad around or the date stamp monitor or team table leader would before journal writing and other assignments and everyone would get to stamp the date on their papers, which would also help them to remember to put their names on the assignment too!
Now that I am retired, I use it for many other things, like my art! Well, on the back of my art.

What I Learned:
1. I do love to stamp! And everytime an Etsy buyer shares their date stamp journaling, I do start one, but it only lasts about 3 days. So let's see what happens this time!
2. A bullet journal or date stamp journal could be an alternative to help my hoarding ways. I wonder if I should add a Hoarder Rehab journal to my self development journals or just incorporate it before I have a hoard of journals!
3. As a recovering hoarder, this is how my over thinking begins and I end up doing nothing about the Hoarder Rehab journal except thinking about it over and over or starting one and not keeping up with it. I think it best if I just incorporate it into some of my other self development journals.
How many journals do you have? This year, I'm already on my second Etsy journal and right now at my desk, I have 3 other journals, not including my Etsy ones. Some of these journals are tabbed, for example my self development journals are divided into different areas, like heart, mind, body and soul.

Thank you Etsy buyer from JunkDrawerAndMore
for taking the time to share your story and how you use your library date stamp! It has inspired me once again, to start using the date stamp during my journal time!
Also thank you for the best part, your update photo!
Thank you Etsy for the best Hoarder Rehab ever! And for all the kind people I'm meeting who are helping me indirectly and directly in so many ways with my Hoarder Rehab! I've been gleaning so much insight about my hoarding ways.
Here is another set of rubber stamps I use plenty for my "thank you" packaging, especially the bunny rabbit one, since Easter is coming! I use them to make thank you stickers as closures for Etsy orders. Cute wooden animal rubber stamps, available here

Next week, I am returning to my new experiment
of Etsy of listing items until I got to 180-185 items listed
on each shop.
And it took me about a day to try out the new Etsy Studio on one of my shops I'm interested, but will have to figure out
how to use it to my best advantage! I am waiting to see if that one shop does better with the new Etsy Studio format.
Anyone
out there have any suggestion or ideas on how to use the new Etsy
format and new Etsy Studio to their shop's best advantage? and if it
has helped bump up your sales?
Maybe you'll find something to adopt and share your story too! Thanks for looking!
