Journals You Can Use Any Way You Want

I recently wandered around Walmart and made a discovery.  I was looking for a journal or book I could use for various reasons.  I wanted to journal, memory keep or use it as a diary.  I got excited when I found these really cute books at Walmart.  Take a look at the video and see what I found.

Hope you enjoy the video.  Just click on the link:  https://bit.ly/2LkqoV5 to go to YouTube and watch.  Thanks.

Retro Planner Stickers In My Etsy Shop

*RETRO STICKERS FOR YOUR PLANNER*

Let’s take a step back to the simpler times.  These retro stickers are a lot of fun.  I use them mostly in my Happy Planner.  But you can use these in any planner you have.  I had originally created these pages as digital downloads but after much soul searching I changed my mind.  I just couldn’t justify charging $3 for a digital download of the same image on the page.  I did a lot of arguing with myself over this decision.  But finally came to the thought that I would much rather order these as actual stickers.  So I changed my shop and all the stickers I offer are already done.  They are kiss cut and ready to use.

Let’s take a look at what’s available in my shop under these Retro stickers.  There are ten (10) images available in various amounts per page.  The images available are:

I use these as shown above in order from left to right and then down and left and right:

  1. Clean House
  2. Doctor Appointment
  3. Hair Appointment
  4. Laundry
  5. Mani/Pedi
  6. Pamper Night
  7. Pay Bills
  8. Payday
  9. Phone Call
  10. Remember

So, check out my Etsy shop by clicking the Etsy tab above.  I left these in black and white because 1) I love the retro look of them and 2) you can color them.

Happy Planning!

Let’s Talk About Planners Baby!

Let’s talk about planners baby!  It’s been a while since I’ve blogged.  I have been out of pocket and I’ve missed blogging with you.  Let’s just say things got in the way.  But hopefully I’m back on track and will be doing more blog posts.

I want to talk about planners.  We write in them, decorate them and use them to keep us on track.  I’ve been using a Happy Planner for over three years.  I still enjoy using all the stickers and decorating the pages that kept me on track for so long.  But lately I have discovered the joys of digital planning.  Don’t think for a second that I’ve abandoned my paper planner.  It’s just too much fun.  And I admit I enjoy the community of all those addicted to paper planning like me.

But I have learned to enjoy the ease and fun of digital planning.  Both have great merits but I am enjoying the simplicity of using a digital planner.  I like the fun of discovering digital stickers and just what I can do on the iPad with my digital planner.  The one I use is from a very creative lady thru Boho Berry.  You can find her shop here https://www.etsy.com/shop/bohoberrypaperie .  Just click on the digital planners.  The one I use is the 2018 Teal Dated Planner.  Love it!

For me there is something freeing about not needing all that paper to do my planning for the week.  But there is something lacking in the tactility of paper planning.  So for me it’s the best of both worlds.  There are many other digital planner on Etsy, but this is the one that’s working for me.  If you’re interested check out her videos on YouTube under BohoBerry.

I’m in the process of doing some digital stickers for use in my planner.  I also plan to put digital stickers on my Etsy shop.  Which I am in the process of remodeling my Etsy shop for now.  So be patient with me.

Thanks for your patience and I am back!

Happy Planning!

Am I Addicted To Planners?

 

Oh where do I start?  I’ve been using a planner for decades.  But only recently have I somehow managed to acquire not just one, not just two, but three planners to keep me organized.  How did I get to this point?  I’m sure most of you can relate.

I bought my first Happy Planner about three years ago.  Before that I had only used pen and paper.  But after watching many, many videos on YouTube of people showing their Happy Planners, I wanted one.  So off I went to Michaels and bought my first planner.  It was great.  I especially loved decorating it.  But I was still a newbie.  I’m still having to learn things.  But I’m enjoying the journey.

After about a year of using the Happy Planner I discovered the Day Designer.  I like the symmetry of it and the full page set up.  But it was more difficult to decorate and I am a sticker junkie.  But it allows me to create more detail lists of the things I need to do.

Then came my latest acquisition, the Recollections Hourly Planner.  I bought this one because a) it had the correct hourly setup for me 7AM to 10PM and b) it was on sale.

So now to plan my hour, week, day and month I have three planners spread out on my desk.  Am I a planner addict?  You betcha.  It’s my happy place and I’m not giving it up.

So my dears, if you are in the same place as I am, embrace it and…

Keep On Planning!
