My First Planner

Hello. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I had a plan that would (hopefully) make me a more organised crafter and blogger. Well here it is - my Arc planner! And I love it already. But then I think loving all kinds of stationery goes along with loving paper! I was nearly tempted into ordering one of those fancy personalised American ones but as this is my first experience of a planner I drew the line at taking out a second mortgage.

So above is the front cover and I have just left it the way it came. You then choose what you want for your pages, what type of dividers, task lists etc. Everything just pops onto the black disks - very nifty!

I used up some old stickers to decorate the first divider, not very exciting but I'm new to this and might add more or change it around as the year progresses.

 I chose to make the first section a week to view with an extra little to-do list in the middle of every week, I have listed that weeks planned projects there. The clear ruler bookmark easily pops off to move to the next week. I added a little calendar peel off sticker.

This section is the main to-do list.

 At the back there is a clear zipped pocket to keep all the pretty things that will make your planner more exciting!

 And finally, these are the stamps I will use on the planner. The calendar stamp set was free with a magazine yonks ago. The other set is by Waffle Flower.

 I will most likely spend more time decorating and updating my planner than actually doing stuff. But, heyho, that's all part of the fun.
