The Diary Bookmark Dilemma

I really hate those ribbons that are on all dayplanners/diaries that mark the date you are currently on.
They slide out, they arn't long enough or they are so thin that it makes no difference.  And they fray and then they look old and ugly.

So what's a good solution?
WASHI TAPE!

You know you have a stack of it in your craft drawer.
So here is how it works;
On all the pages up to the current date, use your washi tape to vertically mark the page.  It should fold over and stick out a little so you can still see the date on your page, and it is easy to thumb open. (And it looks pretty!)

Like this;

Easy to find your place because the washi tape sticks out slightly when closed

Fold the washi tape over so you can still see the date.

So cut out that stupid ribbon, and make your diary interesting!
