I have decided to take you along on my planner journey. It's already been quite an experience and will probably have a few more interesting twists and turns before I'm through.
My history with planners is varied and full of fun! I started out making lists on spiral notebooks from the time that I could write. I did that for about 40 years. Yep, that long.
In the last 10 years, I began using some really interesting pre-made planners and travelers notebooks. I used metal rings (all sizes), plastic discs, notebooks (including travelers notebooks and composition notebooks), spiral bound, bullet journals, many Japanese styles, and even created my own junk journals out of various materials.
I also tried quite a few 'types' of planning - minimalist (using only pen and paper), utilizing stickers (from just a few to the 'no white' cover all), stamping, stencils, pretty (using mostly pinks and lots of sparkles!), and rustic (which included chalk paint and lace).
And I didn't stop there! I planned in different directions, too. LOL I tried vertical, horizontal, sideways, and in various odd angles and shapes.
All of these types of planning made me happy! Every single one.
Then, a few months ago I started re-organizing my art studio and found quite a few MAMBI (Me and my BIG Ideas) Happy Planners, accessories, and sticker books tucked away for safe keeping. And... I found out that they had released new Happy Planner/Notes sizes. Perk! I was so excited!
Was it really possible to have my fav planner and be able to customize it, too? YES!
Then I found out about the Happy Planner Squad through watching YouTube planning videos. And realized that MAMBI was getting ready to pick a whole new squad in a week. Wait, what??? This is all happening way too fast.
I was telling my hubby about all of this and he asked if I was applying and I said no.
Well, he talked me into it. haha
So I am starting this blog to track my experiences with the Happy Planner Squad AND to share my planning style for folks that are new to planning.
Hopefully I'll make a few friends along the way, too. :)
