An offer you can't refuse! :)

When working on custom requests, especially for an item that I'm making for the first time, sometimes the first tries will have a few mistakes, so I'll try again. 
Rarely though, I will have the nearly finished product, only to make a mistake on the last step. This is incredibly frustrating, and of course, I need to start all over again.

Such is the case of the following subject, the graph planner insert for Midori TN.

I was making a planner insert for a friend who requested it. Everything was done, pages printed and bound. The only thing that was left to do was to cut it to size. 
(This can be a tricky part, as I don't use a guillotine. I cut all my notebooks by hand, with a metal ruler and a sharp blade. If the notebook is not too thick, I can cut all in one go, but if it is thick, I need to do a set of sheets at a time, and be very precise and careful.)
So, after I finished trimming the insert, I checkd to see all was ok, only to find out I hadn't done the layout properly. Some of the inner spreads got a bit of text chopped off.

I couldn't send this to my friend who had already paid for it, so I had to start all over again! 



 (FYI the grey on the month of May is not a smudge, but a shadow.)

(Sat and Sun with their own space)

Now, the thing is, this is a perfectly good planner and it would be a sad thing to throw it into the recycling bin, especially after all the work that went into it.
As you can see from the pictures, it is not too much that got cut off and the rest of the planner is fine. I know many people like to decorate their planners with washi and stickers, etc., so I'm thinking of selling it for half its price.

It is a weekly planner for 2014 with a week on two pages format, with Saturday and Sunday having their own space. It is printed in dark grey on high quality graph paper, each day has plenty of space to record your day. It also has a 2014 calendar, and I will include one for 2015.

You won't find another one like this, as I won't be making any more (unless requested as a custom order).

I'm asking £10 including shipping within the UK, €15 including shipping within EU (Norway and Switzerland included) and $15 without shipping to the US&Canada (shipping depending on which service is wanted).

I'm not putting this one in my store. If you are interested, please send me a message via Facebook (21Kittens page, or Midori Traveler's group). I accept PayPal only.

Please do not include your email address in the comments, for your own security. :) 

Thank you very much,
