To help get this issue kick started in the right direction I spent yesterday afternoon / evening getting my new planner / art journal in order! I am so VERY happy with how it turned out! I'm so proud with myself and how my "winging it" idea came to life! Ok well I had some help too! :) While Pinteresting a few days ago I stumbled on a downloadable planner design that I didn't mind too much (well I rather enjoyed it really)...check out the original that inspired me here! Although I do really enjoy this design, my OCD kicked in and I knew that there was just too much "off-kilter" for me to willingly use the pages everyday! So I decided to "borrow" the ideas I loved and make the planner my own! With the whimsy and hand-drawn feel of Ms. Hawkins', but with a little bit more structure!
When it came to what to keep all of my organizing pages together with....I was a little stumped for a bit! Initially I had just planned on using a thin 3-ring binder, but knew I didn't have one yet and that it may become a little bulky to keep with me when I'm not home. While printing all of the pages in the Suana known as my office, I had an epiphony and decided to use my "Bits & Pieces" sketchbook I have had for months sitting on the shelf till I could decide what to use it for....now was the perfect time!
I'm so excited to see what comes about from this! I made sure I left empty pages throughout as well as plenty of empty space on the pages for doodles, ideas, projects, Logan entertainment space, etc to allow this to be more that just a planner, but also a visual diary of how much my life really does RAWK!!!!
Till next time.....<3 Shan
