Talking bout planners….

I’ve been using my Bullet Journal now since mid October last year and I’m definitely sold! I love how flexible it is and how I can just add what I like, I’m not stuck with a set layout each week. It can be as fancy r as plain as I want it to be. But recently I started thinking…. I’m nearly at the end of my first journal and I don’t really love the idea of having to migrate half finished collections to my new book. So what’s a girl to do?

Then Kara at Boho Berry posted a video on how she’s transferring her bullet journal to a traveller’s notebook set up (you can read about it and watch the video here). This really sold me on the idea and I thought this could be the solution to my planner problems. I can keep using my Leuchtturm, add an insert for my collections and have an insert for my scrapbook planner which is lying abandoned somewhere in my room because realistically I can’t use more than one planner.

Now to find me a cover and some inserts, maybe have a go at making my own.
ETA: before I decided to hit post I had a go at making my own insert using this tutorial and using this YouTube video for the binding

Will your still here I might as well share some spreads I’ve created since December.

100 Happy Days 2017: Days 1 to 20

I love this project. I’ve taken part in this project for a couple of years and I love looking back at past photos.

What is 100 Happy Days? It’s a photo project that challenges you to post something that makes you happy, daily, for 100 days. You can read more about it at 100happydays.com

Anywho, here’s my first 20 days, starting from March 25. Created using Collect.

It’s birthday time again

Not mine, that was a couple of days ago but that means it’s time for Miss K’s party planning to go into full swing.

She had her heart set on an afternoon at the local bike and road safety centre but that was fully booked so we settled on her second choice – a pool party! And not just any pool party, this Mum’s turning it into a mermaid pool party.

So keep an eye out over the next few weeks for my Mermaid party planning.

You can check out previous party posts here.

Bullet Journal a few more months in

Well here we are in January and I have to admit, I’m still loving my BuJo and I’m still using it every day. If it had been a regular planner, it’s about this stage (3 months) I start to forget to use my planner and it seems like a chore. I really don’t know what it is about the BuJo system that makes it work so well for me. We’ll see how I’m going at the 6 month mark.

Now on to the sharing….

I’ve started using my BuJo for other things and creating collections and planning. For our trip to Queensland at Christmas I created a page for our itinerary, a to do list for before we left and a packing list

I shared the cover for my Christmas planner last time and inside it I created pages for our Elf ideas, gift list and a little Christmas countdown (created with stickers from Lovely Planner.)

Then onto December…including my tracker for challenges, another Zen Art Challenge and my year in review.

IMG_8542 IMG_8543IMG_8544 IMG_8545IMG_8546 IMG_8547

So there you go. I’ll be back in a couple of months to share the next few months and to keep you up to date with how I’m going.
