The Annual Quandary

The Annual Quandary

The quandary of what to do for a planner for next year . . . For several years now, I’ve been using a homemade planner, and while it has worked well for me, I decided that for 2024, I would purchase a ready-made planner. I shopped for weeks. It feels like I looked at every planner […]

My 2020 Planner

I said earlier that I’d report back and let you know what I decided to use for a planner this year. Turns out, it’s a relatively boring setup, so I have no good pictures for you, but I will tell you what I’m using, and where I got some of my forms. This is the […]

Keep On Going

Keep On Going

It’s been one month since we wrapped up The Final Countdown. Normally, I lose momentum on the tasks I don’t get finished, and move on to something else, as it is my flitting nature to do. But this year, I really, really want to get my paper under control, and my projects all organized, so […]

It’s That Time of Year

The time of year for me to decide what type of planner I will use for the next year. I change it every year, and am still trying to find THE perfect planner for me. For 2016, I put together THIS planner, and I’ve used it ever since in some form or another. It has […]

My Scrap Storage Method

Several of you said “yes”, you’d like to see how I store my smaller scraps, so today, I’m here to show you how I do that. My theory is that if something isn’t organized, it’s hard to use. If I can’t readily find what I’m looking for, I’ll end up not using it, and using […]

I’m a Planner Nerd

I’m a Planner Nerd

I freely admit it. There’s something about a blank book with lines waiting to be filled up with lists that just makes me giddy! I love my lists! I want to buy every planner book I come across, and I look at them all the time. And then I end up confusing myself. What is […]

Studio Organizing, Week 31

Did you get your scraps under control last week? I think mine are winning the battle around here — I did sort and cut a few, but I have a long way to go! I cut a lot of strips for my locker-hooked rug this week — now I can just work away without having […]

Studio Organizing, Week 16

Studio Organizing, Week 16

Well, I barely managed to clean up even one small area this past week. It wasn’t even that bad of a mess — my problem is finding the extra time to give it any attention! But I’m so glad I did it. It looks so much better, and is like a breath of fresh air […]
