I wasn't going to film the state of this setup. And then after I did and skipped through the clip (still don't really watch myself back on film), I was just going to delete it. All I could see was
- My messy handwriting
- My not very artistic layouts (quite offensive for somebody who likes aesthetically pleasing things)
- Inserts that are lovely but have just stopped working for me - mainly because of how I combined them
However, thinking about all of the above I thought that somebody might actually find this useful. It will certainly show you what didn't work for me and also why. The inserts are lovely and would probably work in a different combination or situation - links to them below!
This is where the various bits and bobs are from:
- The yearly overview was part of the Paperchase 2015/15 diary inserts.
- Month on 2 pages is a freebie from Homemadekraft
- The now not really used week on 2 pages is from Homemadekraft's etsy shop
- The newer week on 2 pages is also a freebie from Homemadekraft
- Most of the stickers are from Paperbey
- The dividers are from MyPrettyWeek
Good to know you and your family are safe!!! Keep on trekking.

Thanks Brittney. Little M was quite oblivious and just found the 4 fire engines and 3 ambulances very exciting.

Glad you are safe. And there's nothing wrong with a messy planner. Those perfect looking ones only exist on Instagram posts (well, except mine!). It's who you are and your personality. I think your pages are real and effective and that's what makes a planner work!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I'll never have a pretty and perfect one but I am still trying to get to one that "works" properly for me. I feel like too much unused space is just wasted paper I am carrying around...
DeleteSo much about planners is really a test of fit rather than quality. Perfectly fine inserts can work for one person and be a fail for another.
ReplyDeleteVery true! And they might work at one time in your life and not at another time...
DeleteLove the homemadekraft inserts, they're gorgeous! But you are absolutely right in saying that you have to figure out what works for you. Besides, it makes sense that different things will work for different parts and times of our lives - it's all about trial and error until something sticks! And then not being afraid to change it again when it starts to feel boring or ineffective...that ever elusive planner peace ;)
