I try to date everything: cards I send or receive, art I make, kid art and school stuff. I’m never sorry to have the date on something and often sorry the date is missing, especially in my notebooks.
If you don’t have or want a date stamp, handwriting the date is super easy. But to me, there is something special and graphic about using a date stamp.
This is my current collection of date stamps.
