Planner Friday - August

It is August already, how did that happen?  Next month I will be starting my Christmas planning, now that is a scary thought!  So before I start to hyperventilate lets get on with Planner Friday.

My week so far 

I went with a fun owl theme this week, I like how bright and colourful it is.  I was inspired by some cute owl note cards but I will tell you more about them in a minute.  I find cheerful pages make me more likely to look in my planner and keep on top of what I need to do, if I had boring pages I would probably only open up my Filofax once a day and then I'd end up forgetting things.

I started using the Feeling Happy planner stamps last month and I love them!  They are perfect for keeping track of my feelings and are quick and easy to use.  On my daily sections I write down any appointments or events, my to do lists and reminders and I keep track of my blog statistics, that doesn't really leave me much space for anything else.  

Details of the day card - recording occasions big & small

Some days something big and memorable will happen, like the first day of school, but sometimes it can be a little moment that you want to remember.  I am using these Details Of The Day cards to record both kinds of events.  They have a line for you to write the date, a list of feelings for you to check off, some options for what the weather was like and a section for you to write what you would like to remember about that day.  I used one this week to record making daisy chain bracelets in the garden with my youngest daughter.  She will be starting nursery school next month and I'm going to miss her being at home with me during the day.  That is why I want to remember these little moments with her because before I know it she'll be too old to play with me any more!

Owl Note It card

This is the note card that inspired my decoration this week.  My husband is going away with friends for the weekend and I knew I would have to write a packing list.  I think the little blue owl on it is adorable!  You can use these cards for journalling or notes so they are cute and practical.  

I hope to see you all again in September, I wasn't joking about starting my Christmas planning then.  In fact I have just ordered some fab Christmas Tree Paper Clips from the store!

Planner Friday - July

Hi! Can you believe it is Planner Friday again already? I can't, the month has flown by! 

I explained in my first post how I go about decorating my diary pages and what I put in them, in this post I want to show you my pages for this week and which Annie's Paper Boutique products I have used on them. 

   

How my week started out

Now for an English woman I have a pretty big coffee addiction! I mean I like tea, I really do but sometimes only coffee will make me happy so I dedicated this week to my love of that little bean.

Personalised Journaling Tags

The Feeling Happy Planner Stamp Set, Personalised Journal Tags and coordinating Hello Dottie Trendy Page Dots are all new products and I love them! 

I had been thinking recently that my life seems to revolve around my to do lists and it would be nice to spend a little time concentrating on myself. I used to keep a journal when I was a teenager but it's not something I would enjoy doing now.... and I'm slightly worried there wouldn't be anything interesting to write in it anyway! But I would like to spend a little time each day reflecting on how it went and how I felt which is where the Feeling Happy stamp set comes in. The set has stamps saying Today, I'm, Feeling and then a wide range of emotion stamps. I received them last week so I am using them in my planner for the first time this week and I think they are fab! It is like keeping a journal but less time consuming and easier too.  

At Home Planner stamps and

Personalised Journal Tags in use.

I have used the Personalised Journal Tag as a note card this week and punched holes in it so it can go on my rings.  I just adore the sweet teacup drawing on it and how it goes with the Trendy Page Dots perfectly.  I'm a sucker for things that match!

This Love My Cup of Joe Coffee Clip also looks adorable with the theme!

My nearly finished week

So that's it for another month, I will see you again in August! In the mean time why don't you stop by the store and check out the planning supplies, I would love to know if you get creative with your planner pages too! Oh and did you spot the cute owl paper clip from Kawaii Paperie in the back of my planner?
