Planner Setup: How I'm currently using my planners, binders, and journals.

Hi, Pretty People!

As promised, and without further ado, here's my Planner Setup post! There are loads of pics so have fun! I'll try to keep the descriptions short, yet clear. Just bask in all the planner/ stationery goodness!

Let's Start with my "at Home" Planner which is my Erin Condren Life Planner. I actually got this planner as a swap, believe it or not. It came brand new and I'm soooo in love with it. And y'all know how much of a binder planner lover I am. This planner stays at home. It is also where I've been doing the bulk of my decorating. As you can see, there is a lot to have fun with in this planner. Anyway, pics!

I made this chevron cover from a gift bag, but I'm still looking for a better design.

Planner Pages, Thus Far

Hey Everyone!


Yes I know I've been MIA the last few WEEKS. I'm SOOO sorry! I've been working on my Etsy shop a lot and getting that going along with regular Full-Time mommy duties has taken up the majority of my time. I should also report that there is no baby yet! This one looks like he's in for the long haul like his older siblings were. But I do have about a week left so we'll see.

I think I'll take this time to post my planner pages here and then my bentos on another. So here's what we've got so far. I am working on Next week's pages but they're not finished yet. Those will be posted soon. I'm excited to do so, as next week is my BIRTHDAY week! As well as my Son's (new baby is due on his birthday!) So very important week next week ^_^

I fell in LOVE with my planner pages 2 weeks ago.

I'm actually vey much in love with the Shabby Chic look and this Color Scheme has been my fave for a bit now. I week ended up filling out a little more and I left room for that. Those tabs on the days are there to add any extra tones. Aren't they GORGEOUS! My Mommy Dearest sent these to me for my shop but I couldn't help using some for myself >_<

This Week's Planner Pages: Minnie Mouse

Hi there, Everyone!

I almost forgot to post this pic. I recently got a shipment in of new washi tapes. I had already decorated this week but was feeling a little disappointed in it. I went back and used a little of my new washi, some more stickers, and a Project Life journaling card I got from a lovely friend in one of my facebook RAK groups. I was much happier with the result this time around.

Planner Pages Week Jump

Hi, All!

Thought I'd share some pics of my newly decorated planner pages. Since I've been looking into the Project Life style of scrapbooking and receiving some very lovely RAK (random acts of kindness) mail containing tons of little embellishments and cards and such, my creative juices have been flowing in all things paper craft. I couldn't contain myself and I went ahead and decorated my pages for the first week of May. I'd been trying to go a week at a time so that I don't end up with nothing to do, but I just had to break out the washi, and stickers and go to work.

Ultimate FiloHack! DIY Dollar Planner Refills!

Hi, again!

Well y'all know I recently got some Happy Mail from my Mommy Dearest containing oodles of lovely stationery for my planner. Included in said mail package were a plethora of planners. Now, if you know anything about me, you'll know I'm all for pinching pennies AND I love a chance to do so as well as come out with something shiny and new.

Even MORE Mommy Mail!!!

Hi everybody!

Forgive my small posts! I'm posting from my phone atm and I don't really have much editing power. Anyway.... Take a look what surprised me yesterday! A box chock full of goodies from my Mommy Dearest! In it was Baby G's Cowboy outfit that I posted about before and clothes for myself and M. Annnnd.... Drumroll..... Filosupplies!!! Gaaaahhh! All the things! Yeah I could have cried! Enjoy the pics! Will edit soon with more deets on the images :)

Happy Mommy Mail!!!

Hi, again!

Ok last one for the night, I think! So I mentioned earlier that I got a box of Mommy Happy Mail. Well there were several fun things in it. Tons of bento supplies that I left behind, Easter stuff, and a bunch of craft supplies I'd accumulated during my stay there. Well she also included some extra goodies for my new planner!

Week Peek: A Glance at the Next Couple of Weeks Before they're Filled Up

Hi, again!

So I mentioned that I took the night off from blogging last night. Only to occupy it with decorating in my planner. Haha! I had a nice little mini haul from a my day in town so I put some of my finds to work. I don't think I'm done with these pages, but I don't really want to touch them too much as I tend to get ahead of myself and have nothing left to do when a craft itch hits later on.

Mini FiloHaul PLUS a quick DIY Idea

Hey, Everyone!

I decided to take a little break last night from the blog as I was very tired and actually got sleepy hours before I normally do. I still managed some pics of my mini haul from our day in town. But I didn't quite feel up to posting. As you may have read in my last post, Bento-A-Day Easter Edition Day 1 and 2, M had a doctor's appointment and I had packed a bento for her and everything as we'd be in town a few hours. The day went very nicely, I even got to pick up the last of the kids' Easter basket fillers! I'll share pics of that too, I think. Well I also picked out a few things to add to my ever growing stationery stash for my little Day Runner.

My Planner Pages: This Week's Getting Full

 Hey, All!!!

Just thought I'd share a few snaps of this week's pages. If you remember from my post, My Planner This Week, Next Week, and Some Fun Finds, I has some blank areas in some of my days. Well those filled in quickly and I realized I had to add some Lists and Reminders. So I broke out my Hello Kitty notepads, glued them back to back on an index card, punched, and inserted. I will be able to use this new little insert several times for different weeks because I just slapped some sticky notes on each side. I love my brain sometimes. Anyway, here's how much my week has filled out so far.

I washi taped a cute Eastery Hello Kitty graphic from off the packaging that came on the packaging of the notepad set. That was the only hint that this was an Easter set which I like because I can use everything in the set over and over.

My Planner Makeover PLUS Another Dollar Tree FiloHack: Mini Clothespin Bookmarks

Hi there, Friends!

So I was brainstorming this afternoon and I was thinking that maybe I could take my Day Runner's customization up a notch. If you remember from my post, At Last! My Planner is Here!!!, my Mommy Dearest sent me a Day Runner in some Happy Mail. You may also have seen from my DIY Dividers post, DIY Planner Tabbed Dividers How-To, that I had some scrap card stock left from making my own tabbed dividers from large binder dividers. Since the cover to my planner is mostly clear and the original design can be pulled right out, I went ahead and just replaced front and back with measured and cut scraps of card stock. 

Here you can kinda see how it tuned out.

My Planner Pages: This Week, Next Week, and Some Fun Finds! PLUS a little FiloHack

Hi there!

If you don't already know, I got my planner this week. I got it in the middle of the week, so my first shot at planning pages I'm using as a kind of practice run. So I got to start with Thursday. That was actually the only day this week that had specific dates and times to really focus on. But There's still time to add more.

I took this pic during the car ride to the Dr. What looks like stains or dark marks, is just shadows from the windshield. Sorry about that. It's pretty simple because I did this right before I had to take off for my 32 week OB appointment.

Trying to Catch Up

Hey all!

I know I've been neglecting my page. I'm trying to catch up. Just know that I've got quite a few drafts pending and they'll be up very soon. I hope the knowledge of multiple recent posts is incentive enough to get you to come back haha! As you may know, I like to mainly keep my posts filled with lovely pictures so you don't have to do excessive reading. Well this post is all reading.

I do apologize. My laptop had been out of commission for a good long while before I was able to get it fixed. I had to wait til I went to visit my folks to have it sent out as I live too far away from a Best Buy for it to be practical to drive to and froe. That's another reason for my neglected blog: I've been visiting my family. I packed up the kids and had a nice long stay. It was lovely and therapeutic. I don't get to visit family but once a year and I missed my mommy.

Let the FAUXlofaxing Begin (A Haul Post)

 Yes, I know it's not really a word. I'm sure I made it up. Oh well. For those of you who don't know what a Filofax is, quite simply, it's a planner. Google can emphasize better than I. But I am now immersing myself in stationery, paper crafts, and all things planner. I currently do not own a planner. I've been on the look out for one. The Filofax is out of my price range. But I did get the tip off that my very wonderful mommy will be sending me one in the mail (along with tons of other goodies no doubt ^_^) and I'm starting to stock up on fun things and looking into thrifty way to personalize my planner.

 

Here's a little of what's in stock:
