Freebie Ideas!!





Planning gets expensive, especially if you fall into the sticker trap and feel the need for more.  It gets hard looking at all the pretty pages on Instagram when you don’t write pretty and feel like you are a little less than some other planners.  We need to remember

1.       We all know how hard it is to get that “perfect pic”.  Rarely do you ever get the picture right on the first try and you need to move a few things, tweak the lighting or even start over.

2.       Everyone has a different budget, gets “gifted” items or are spending above their means… I don’t want to throw anyone under the bus, it’s important to remember that nothing is worth going into debt to create a pretty page.

Some talented artists are giving us things free! These are some of my favorites:

Victoria Thatcher – I cannot say enough about Victoria Thatcher! She is SO awesome and has some beautiful work that she is giving to us FREE! 

Clementine Creative love the tabs for my planner, printed on both sides you get a really cool result

Mom Envy – lots of things on Fauxnonichi and other free planner printables

Planner Addiction – lots of layouts for the week, color themes


We Come in Planner Peace – a Facebook group that you need to join, but they have some fun things in their files that have been created by the group. 

Even do a search on Pinterest for Happy Planner Printable Free there are so many things there that you can find. You need to weed through, there is lots to see!

Ultimately, you can even build your own planner this way and not pay a dime, you would need a hole punch and some other tools, but this gives you a cost efficient way of creating your planner.

How I Planned During COVID

I LOVE planners, and use them for work, life and journaling Like many of you, I have been cooped up in my house since March 13 th (unlucky Friday the 13 th ) I have gone out for groceries, and I think we have picked up food once, at the beginning.  Otherwise, we have stayed in the house with little contact.  It was just this last weekend where we adventured to a “drive in movie” in the mall parking lot with my sister-in-law and her kids.   This was the first time my son finally got to play with his cousins and see someone other than his parents for over 3 months. He was delighted.  It doesn’t hurt that the movie was Sonic the Hedgehog which he has wanted to see for the whole quarantine as well!  I know that I have looked at Instagram and know that there are MANY of us that are just lost because there is nothing to plan! It hurts because we have these great planners all looking like they did “before the pen” still.  I admit it, I have many decorated pages with NOTHING written

πŸ’œ Pens πŸ–ŠπŸ–‹✒️✏️πŸ–

I love pens! I mean, like I look at a pen and want to write with it right away, if I like it I NEED it! I get excited when they are on sale and want every color in a style I love. Paper-Mate Flair comes out with new colors all the time and I get it stuck in my head that where I am just thinking about how much I want it. It’s a bad addiction. If someone picks up my pen to use I get a little sweaty, like are they going to press too hard, what if they take off with it? Ugh, I look like a NUT. I do get excited though when people ask me for my thoughts on a pen, then I have to go into great detail, do you want a ball point, gel ink or a fine line pen.   Are you left or right handed (lefty here!)? It depends on my mood with what I like in the moment. Usually I use my Paper-Mate Flair, then I might switch to my Stabilo 88’s.   It depends on what I am doing; writing, coloring, drawing… and sometimes I use a mix of them. I think that mixing the types can really give you a goo

Don’t Let Others Bring You Down

Sometimes I feel like an empath; like that, I can let other people’s behavior change my mood.   I am trying not to let these things affect me so much, not let other people dictate how I feel or my attitude.   I have some strong personalities at work.   Some people that think that the world is against them and then others that look at the positive side of life.     I lean towards the positive people so that I don’t think of negative things.   I tend to try to pep those naysayers up; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. When I look at my sticker books, I can tell I am a fan of the positive quotes.   I will get home from a shopping spree and find that I bought the same quote book I had trips back.   I even look through all the stickers while I am shopping to see if this is what I want.   I figure that I cannot have too many quotes pumping me up. I think those little reminders around you help make or break your day.   If I feel down, a little “Punch Today in the Face” makes me
