Hey y’all! It’s 2018 and I couldn’t be more excited about it! 2017 was my first year using The Happy Planner and I LOVED it. Hope you enjoy my flip through 😊
I love your personality!! I love love love watching other people do their planners like you did, I wish I could, but I don't have the creativity. And that's ok, I'm learning to let go. But I wanted to tell you that I love that you are able to sit down and remember the year, just by looking back at your planner. An account of your year! So cool!
Girl!🤣 I’ve watched this over and over! You are a hoot! I’ve just started planning, I love it!🙏🏼 you keep doing you! Don’t ever stop 🛑 now I know there is hope for me yet!🤓
I love that you jumped right in and even though you think it was a mess at the beginning you didn't give up and you found what works for you. I wish I would have done this but I was so overwhelmed I just gave up. I decided to try again and I am finally learning what works for me. I'm trying not to focus on all the wasted months in my planner and stay focused on finding planner peace!
I'm new to planning and have no clue what I'm doing......lol. I really loved how you showed your planner page by page and it gave me a lot of ideas. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh my goodness your video just made me smile so big, your joy is infectious. For your monthly pages maybe use them as a blessings or Gratitude tracker. This year I'm committed to writing down something from everyday that I was blessed by and grateful for on that day, the monthly pages would work well for that.
🤗 I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. You are a joy to watch, I don’t use a happy planner but am a planner freak too and your set up is so fun and honest 🙋🏽. You are a blessing🙋🏽✨🤗
This video is not even CLOSE to recent and it's the first one I've watched on your channel, but girl.....I LOVE your vibe! Keepin' it real and giving thanks to Jesus...you're my kinda people! Can't wait to watch more! ;)
LOL! I LOVE this flip thru haha, I was entertained the whole time and I got so many great ideas. And youre so right, sometimes when youre not feeling it, its ok to take a break!
Your video filled my heart with joy! Your spirit is so sweet and kind. You are a blessing to watch and very creative with your planner. My very first planner is due to arrive in a few days and you have inspired me to just go for it!
Just loved this video! Your planner turned out beautiful. May God be your comfort and loving shepherd throughout the coming year, and may He richly bless you!
Love it! I use my monthly spread for an overview of the whole month with appointments and events pulled from the weekly views. I usually decorate it a little...not too much. I liked your cake washi, btw.
Love your video, keeping it real I love it. I use my monthly spreads as a quick view of what appointments, birthdays I have or major events. I do a monthly color scheme for each month. Keeps it functional and also looks good. Keep planning!
First of all - I think you're adorable - thank you for sharing your personal planner - ideas, faux paxs, milestones, questions.... all of it, nice job - proof you don't have to wait until you get it perfect before you share!!!!! thank you for the inspiration!
Wow! As a newbie to the HP, I am exactly where you were at the beginning. My first weekly spread is a mess. Love your first color scheme. It was great to see the growth and transition you went through. This video let me see, “I can do this!” When I say new to HP, I’ve been a functional planner for years. The decorating part is difficult for me because I don’t want to crowd out space I need for something important. Once I work it out, I can enjoy the decoration AND use as a functional planner. I totally jumped into this reality with a classic home planner, mini purse planner, classic bible study devotional planner, classic budget planner, and big teacher planner that I had to create myself with a six month extension pack. I’m so happy that I found you and this video! It will help me immensely! May I suggest to you how I use my monthly? It’s not heavily decorated, just a sticker or two for birthdays. Think of using it as a functional planner to preplan your month. Organize bills, paydays, birthdays, events, appointments, etc. Then, when you plan each weekly spread you can look at the monthly so you won’t forget anything. Finally, the best part is listening to your year in review story as you flipped through the planner. It’s like your first memory planner. Not only did you transform (find) your style, you created a story. I love this video. Please guide me through 2018 with more videos of inspiration.
I'm thinking about getting one of these for my next planner and this flip-through was super helpful, and your planner is so pretty! Thank you for sharing. :)
I put birthdays on the monthly 2 pages, girl, you got it worked out! Its beautiful and I really love how you put together your pages. Great job. I like your monthly overview. but because you love color schemes do that on your monthly too.
OK, I THINK YOU'RE MY NEW PLANNER BUDDY. I LUV THIS VIDEO. I HAD TO WATCH IT TWICE CAUSE I WAS LAUGHING SO MUCH THE FIRST TIME. THIS WAS FUN!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KEPT SAYING, "THIS IS A MESS - A, MESS" CAUSE I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. FOR REAL!
I love love love this video, I've watched it several times. The spreads are beautiful, but I also love the voice-over. It really makes me giggle when u clap and refer to itself in the 3rd person. Thank u for sharing Love & hugs from Ireland xx
So glad I found your channel! Love your personality and your down-to-earth style. Truly enjoyed this video. Love your spreads (you've given me some great ideas) and your words of wisdom. Be blessed in this new year!
I absolutely love your channel and personality! Many blessings :) I am getting my new planner tomorrow and I can't wait to start planning. Keep doing what you love! Get it girl! Your videos are amazing!
I do the same with the monthly with limited decor because I like seeing everything due on one layout....just as I did for all of my school assignments from elementary through graduate school and continuing in present day life! I enjoy new technology but I’ve always loved my pen and paper crafts. Go figure! Lol
I was a person who had no idea what to do with my monthly spread but a few weeks ago I figured it out. The monthly spread has been perfect to write my reoccurring monthly bills, birthdays, blog post dates and books I’m reading for the month. It’s a perfect quick glance of my bills, birthdays and special dates. I still write these out in the weeks they happen but having that overview has helped and my monthly views used to be blank all the time! Love your personality, beautiful planning. God Bless 🤗
I’m with you too! Loving the color schemes also! I’m so proud of your honesty of being confused at first! Loved your uplifting video! Kudos to you and Xx&oo’s!!
I have a mini happy planner but I use mine for function. Each month’s appts go in as soon as I make them. (Hair, dr, meetings, whatever). I mostly only decorate special occasions ( birthdays, anniversary, girls days, parties). I keep track of what I cook daily because it gives me inspiration on days when I can’t think of what to cook. I just look back and get ideas. I track my daily steps. At beginning and end of month I chart my weight using the scale sticker. I’m not one who likes planners with all the page filled with stickers. I love and use my white my spaces!! I think I’m notbusy but at the end of the month I can see all I’ve accomplished and feel satisfied. I’ve only been plannings going on 7 months but I grab my planner for everything. In the back I keep a log of books I want to read and then check them off as I read them. I have medications I take listed. A suggestion... I think you might benefit more from a horizontal layout. Put your important things scheduled on your monthly calendar and then break each week apart on the weekly addingthibgs that need to be done during each week. A few timely well placed stickers are all you really need for a functional planner. I hear you about liking pink and purple!! Me too!! Girlie girl colors. :-) Hope you find what works for you!!
Great vid. I'm new to the planner community, but I love that you just jumped right in. I agree, gotta have white spaces in there for ease of view. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and talent 😉💕
I started using the happy planner last year, but I was on such a tight budget it wasn't as nice as I would have liked. I made almost everything . I'm a scrapbooker. I really loved your planner layouts. I don't have kids or a lot going on. We are at the empty nester stage in my life..but I love decorating it. I like looking back on the previous year. Can't wait for more. Thank you for sharing. I use my monthly for bills and things I'm great fun for.or something's that I may not want to share. Where did you get the planner girl from?
I know this was years ago but somehow I came across your page and you had me laughing the entire time. You are the woman I want to be friends with in real life. You are a trip and I'm so here for it because: SAME! definitely have a new subscriber.
This video was so awesome! You have a beautiful spirit and wonderfully warm personality. I laughed out loud so much! I also appreciate you sharing about your struggles. We all have them, but it sometimes feels like we're alone because people don't talk about it. I appreciate your sincerity, and I look forward to more videos!
This is the 1st one of your videos I have seen. I so enjoyed it. Your planner looks so much better than mine. Thank You for sharing. I look forward to watching more.
You seem like you are more of a memory planner. I love that you were able to identify when you weren't feeling your best. You can use the monthly calendar to track things like moods, budget, wellness....Thanks for sharing...I love your Happy Planner share♡♡♡
My background is art, drawing, painting and scrapbooking. I started with my happy planner in Oct. 2017. previously I used franklin covey since college or notebooks in highschool. So my monthly is barely decorated also but functional for Appts, kids game schedule and payday. I guess I will figure it out how to use more in 2018. Nice video .. and learning what u like and don’t like 😊
I enjoyed your video and I liked your washi tapes especially the eye lashes washi and the coffee cup washi. Liked your personality, and keep going forward, life is a challenge to everybody.
It was great to see someone else just starting out planning. Sometimes I get stressed about planning. I'm unsure yet if I am strictly functional, decorative or both. I have multiple planners for different things and I think I am more of a one planner girl. I guess when I find my grove I'll know. Thank you for a wonderful video!
I loved your video !! It is sooo funny to see the first few planner setups and get better my first spreads were not as good 😅😅😅😅 The clapping had me laughing😂😂😂😂 New subscriber here and shout out from oklahoma !!!! 💞💟💞💟💗💟💗💟💗💞💗💞💗💞
I loved your video! I am just like you! I am trying to get into planning with stickers and washi and this year I want to stick with it! Hope you have a blessed new year also. Thanks for sharing!
Its so funny. I just bought my first planner EVER never have I owned one before today. I dont even know if this is for me, Im amazed by the amount of people that are reallly into deep planning...... i came onto your video in hopes to see what your did with your monthly over view and im really laughing out loud because you sound just as clueless as I am right now with what to do and how to decorate. 😂
Oh my goodness..... I am totally laughing out loud at your commentary! You sound like my 'inner' voice as I'm going through my planner stuff. Absolutely hilarious and you have a new subscriber!!! :) .
I use my monthly for appointments and big events. Essentially I use it for pre-planning. But I have been considering using it as a fitness planner or a habit tracker.
You are hilarious! And sooo creative! Love the video and it’s realism, because I can never keep up with mine and here I am comparing myself to these journal gurus 😪.
This is lovely. You are very creative! Your commentary really made me smile. May the Lord give you His blessing in 2018, and may He fill your heart with peace. x
I'm waiting for mine to arrive on Monday. I agree with leaving white areas. I really don't like the ones that are all tape and stickers, not very creative. Those are nice looking pages with all the white. Mine is going to have the first three months empty, but I have an idea on what to do. I do a lot of gardening and growing some of my food. I figure than I can cover the month and year and use them to plan all the things I have to do before it's warm enough, again. (Where I live it gets extremely cold, -35 degrees F, so I start many of my vegetables indoors and then transplant.) Hopefully that will help me and I won't have to waste all those months.
GIRL You are hilarious. I loved this video Gonna try to find more. Loved all your washi tape, too. You are really good. Your pages are perfect. Prayers and love to you.
For your monthly: pay days for budgeting, bill due dates for bills that aren't on same day every month, birthdays, days off from work /school, events, parties, church, bible study plans. One important thing about each day for a helicopter view of your month. Fitness, meal planning...
Loved, loved, loved your video!!! You sound like such a GOOD person! Your style is great! And your planner shows your ups and downs, it's refreshing to see a planner like yours, meaning an actual person USES it. Now an idea for your dashboards and monthly views: if something doesn't work for you, just cover it up. Glue paper on top of it and use it for whatever you want. I used to draw habit trackers on graph paper, but nowadays it could be just cute stickers or a single image. I once cut out a page of a coloring book and stuck it on the page. The drawings my kids make me and recent pictures of my family work perfectly, too (a little bit of memory keeping can't hurt). And if you want to use the extra months left in your old planner along with a different brand new planner, Frankenplanning to the rescue, that's what I say. I hope you'll find a good way to put all the pages in your planner to use!
It looks good to me girl.....do your thing and don’t worry about other folks stuff lol because I was doing the most at first but I do what works for me hun!
