My Altered Planner

Altered Calendar

Yes, finally - here is my 2009 planner/calendar/datebook…whatever you call it. I LIVE by my planner every year - its my brain. Truly - even my kids know what it is and that Mom needs it. My sweetie, Tim? He knows if its not in the planner, it ain’t happening. It’s essential to making sure we all get where we’re supposed to be, WHEN we’re supposed to be.  Seriously. It’s important.

And I ADORE making my own. I’ve made my own for most of the last few years. 2008 was the exception - I just couldn’t get motivated. And I lived with it for the year, but I was not happy. This year, I’m happy. And creative. And using my planner.

 Okay, the planner itself is Close To My Heart’s weekly calendar. Really fun to work with! The cover paper is a previous (no longer available) Heart of Winter Special (and one of my most favorite packs) "Serendipity". LOVE that paper!!

For each month, I used some of my favorite CTMH papers and the retired E Sized "Friendship Alpha". (There are lots of other E sized alphas currently available - I love the Chocolate alpha too!)

Hey Lucy - you got some ’splaining to do…

 Baby Lucy

If you’re wondering where I’ve been, wonder no longer. We’ve added a little four legged cutie to our midst and my days (and nights) have been spent puppy training. She is an adorable 7 week old Basset Hound and we’re all head over heels in love with her.

Meet Lucy!

Until then,
