    Back to Creating in my Planner

    I picked up a MAMBI Happy Planner last year and I love it. I got a deal on it. I started really planning and keeping my appointments, birthdays, events, etc. recorded in my planner earlier this year. Then I got sick with pneumonia. But I’m back to planning, creating, and decorating. I find that planning in your planner can help your outlook for the future, even if they are small things or reminders. I thought I’d share some images from past layouts earlier this year and the current month of July (not finished yet). The weather in California has been heating up in July so I pulled out the sweet…

    In My Planner

    Just a few shots from my planner . . . And then I found the cutest Happy Planner Notebook that I think I’m going to use as a scrapbook or travel journal. It is just so cute. I traded out the ‘grey’ rings for metallic pink and I love it. I couldn’t pass up the most adorable puffy stickers either that were 1/2 off. The notebook was 40 percent off. Too cute. Warmest creative wishes,

    Planning in 2019

    Bo Bennett said, ‘A dream becomes a goal when action is taken.’ So true! This year I chose to go with a smaller planner that I could tote to work or around town. I chose the Jane Davenport Planner as I love teal! I really try and make it my own and add little mixed media elements throughout the year. I thought I’d share with you some sights from my planner for January. Whether you’re a planner or not, I encourage you to write your dreams and goals down! Sending warmest creative wishes,

    Planning for the New Year

    With a new year comes a new planner. Well, this planner isn’t new to me as I’ve been saving it. Last year I really enjoyed my Heidi Swapp Memory planner and I have a wonderful keepsake capturing special moments through the year. I have, however, been waiting to use my DCWV Rose Gold Planner. Oh how I love this planner. I love the cute interchangeable charms that snap on the front of the plannerr, the darling polka dot design and the magnetic closure snap. One thing I’m enjoying as well after wearing a uniform for 20 years of my life, now that I wer ‘civies’, I like using  the wardrobe…

    Planning for a Full Life

    Sometimes with life you feel as if you go from 0-60 in no time flat and the road takes a big turn.  Well, that’s a bit what my life looks like currently. In the last 5 months, I’ve had some major events take place. I’ve sadly lost some dear loved ones that were a daily part of my life We moved our girl to Montana for school which was exciting and hard at the same time.  We are now empty nesters I celebrated my five year cancer free mark A wonderful family wedding took place in Santa Barbara We made a move and now mom, hubby and I live together…

    The Planner Society Crop Recap

    Hello all, Its been exactly a week since I attended the Planner Society Crop.  You probably saw a ton of photos surrounding this fun time.  It had been quite a while since I had seen Christy and what an amazing venue to attend.  This event was so much about amazing product and projects for your planner, giveaways, new friends and old, shopping, swag, swaps (planner gifts and planner goodies) and most importantly, investing in one another’s lives. What an amazing community the planner community is.  Oh the friendships that were made!  Absolutely precious.  Since photos are worth a thousand words, I wanted to share several photos from this past weekend. …
