Happy Planner Life!

    Okay, I admit it, I catch on to creative trends very easily once I discover them! It all started four years ago when I came across the hobby of scrapbooking. I was all into it and then life got busy and there was just never enough time to indulge into that creative side of myself. So then about a year later, I discovered SMASH Books and tried to get going with that, thinking it was just like scrapbooking, without all the time and effort to put into it. Yea, that didn't last long at all!

   It was hard to find time to just sit and let the creative juices come through, so I spent time reading or just browsing Pinterest and creating boards about things that I wish I had time to do. I have missed the papercrafting and all the creativeness that comes with it. 

   So, it comes as no surprise that when I stumbled across pictures on Instagram of decorated planners (usually by teachers, Mrs. Harris to be exact) and then the name Erin Condren kept popping up, and  I was onboard quick! Decorating planners... why not, right?

   I had nowhere to really start so I began with the planner I was already using. So I got started with whatever scrapbooking supplies I had on hand.  THEN I started seeing more pictures and discovered the Planner Life... and "oohed and ahhed" over all the pretty and cute planners that others were creating. So I took myself to Michaels (not ready to indulge in an expensive Erin Condren planner quite yet) and sought out something similar, but more affordable. I also picked up a few starter things to get going.

And here is what I have created for this week: 

(It is simple and cute...but I have bigger ideas for the coming weeks!)

And here is where I am linking up...a few days late, but I jumped on the boat a little late!

Click on it to get to Kreative in Kindergarten's blog post and check out others who are linking up and showing off their Fall/October Themed planners!

    There is SO much papercraft stuff out there for this fun, new hobby of mine! I need to make a Spending Jar just to be able to buy all the cute stuff on my Etsy Wish List!

   Will I keep up with it? Maybe. I really think I will though, even when life gets too busy. I do lesson plans and meal plans every weekend, so all I have to do is squeeze in some extra time to make my weekly spread in my planner look pretty!! And by linking up with Plan With Me Sundays, I can try to keep myself on track!
