A New Year - Fabulous February Posters

Image
The new year has started and we've been running from the start! We've been busy with gymnastics and taekwondo!! Never a dull moment here. I can't believe February is almost here. To celebrate, I created some cute planner covers and dividers. These match my February Poster !  These can be used in any planner. Simply Print, put in a page protector, laminate, and write in what you want. You can edit these in any program. I am uploading PDF and JPG versions. The PDF version can also be used in any portrait-sized digital planner. The Jpg version can be inserted as a graphic on the page of any document/digital planner. You can resize these, they're a high resolution, you just want to make sure you keep the same aspect ration/constrain the proportions. For those living in Australia, their new year hasn't started off well. Many of the graphics I get from Janelle from Chantahlia Design . The fires have devastated many on that Island. She started a campaign to he...

My Blog is Awful! Free January Weekly Poster

Image
I was trying to edit my blog and decorate it for the holidays. Please put on some sunglasses and continue reading. I will be fixing it, but this month has gotten away from me. 💁 Where did this month go? Seriously? It seems like just yesterday I was making a huge turkey?  This month has been a whirlwind of parties, homeschooling,  shopping and of course, the start of Sarah's new season of competitions. We've tossed in David's Taekwondo too!!  For January, I think of winter. I actually had a hard time coming up with something for this month's calendar. I'm not sure why? I guess I had a creative block.  This month's background is again, from Janelle at Chantahlia's Design . This is a recent addition to her many backgrounds available on her website. If you click her name, the link will take you there.  I love these. This is a weekly planner that is really working out for us. I print this out at our local Walmart. You can get this do...

Christmas Season is Here! - 12 January Covers/Dividers

Image
Happy Thanksgiving!!  Thanksgiving marks the start of the Christmas season for us!  We had an amazing Thanksgiving. My son, his wife, and Henry, her service dog were here.  We had a great time!  I made these covers and dividers for January. The covers can be edited if you know how to add in text. For those of you using a MAC, you can add in the text using Preview. For those using Word, you add the files like an image and then add a text box.   I made these as 8.5 x 11. I have uploaded them as PNG files. You can adjust the size of these, keeping the aspect ratio.  These were made using graphics from Chantahlia Designs .  I do not charge for them. I do NOT require that you follow me to download them.  If you'd like to be notified of my posts, then subscribe to my blog.  You can also follow me on Instagram, and Pinterest.

12 Hanukkah Covers and Dividers

Image
It was suggested to me that I post my covers and dividers earlier. ok, it was more than suggested. It seems that I'm late in posting, making it difficult for people to have the time to print and laminate all my free prints!!  I'm starting with Hanukkah. That's right!  The forgotten holiday! The holiday of lights!! Eight wonderful nights of remembering how the L-rd provided.  ** While I frequently type G-ds name, out of respect for my Jewish sisters and brothers, In this blog post, I will NOT be doing that. **  It's difficult finding Hanukkah graphics and digital scrapbooking art. When I find it, I try to buy it when it's on sale. It's not something that is easy to find for free.  I print these out and laminate them for holiday planner covers. You can use the Happy Planner punch, a regular 3-hole binder punch or even spiral bind them!! I use 5mil laminate when I use them for covers. For dividers I use 3mil.  Please enjoy the...

Planner Perfection & Free Weekly Poster

Image
I think my title is a bit dramatic, but that's how I feel.  For years, Nay...Decades, I've used paper planners. I couldn't find the perfect planner, so I started to create my own planner pages. Times change and my children's needs change, thus changing my own needs. My needs for the type of planner changed. They continue to change, sometimes from day-to-day.  I didn't want lists all over the house, or apps all over my Ipad. I decided to try digital planning. I have Onenote and thought it would be a good idea. The only problem is setting up a planner, one that I liked, was worse than organizing underwear!! It took too much time and with children and all I had to  do, it wasn't something that I could stay focused on. I do have trouble focusing on things to begin with.  Simplicity is one thing that helps my ADD. If it's simple, I can continue to follow through. This includes how I decorate and organize my home and also my planner.  When y...
