Love Today Planner Kit

I have always used a planner.  Even after I retired, I still always used a planner.  So, when SU put out their new planner I was so exited to get one.  I love it.  It's a little bigger than the one I have been using, but I like that so I don't have to squeeze everything into a little box.  I like the additional pages as well.  It is so nice to be able to write notes, directions, etc. and be able to read them.  SU gave a lot of stickers to use with the planner, but to be honest I'm not a sticker girl!!  My granddaughters are and Joe and I have always been wearing stickers on ourselves that they proudly stuck on us!!

When I started putting together my planner, I wondered what I could do to dress up the monthly pages.  I came across this post from The Cow's Whisperer's Creative Cards and was so happy.  Now why didn't I think of it!!  LOL!!  So I decided to try it out and this is what I did for the month of August.  I wanted to stamp sunflowers on the pages, but I wasn't 100% happy how they turned out, but I have11 months to practice!

The flowers were OK but I didn't like how the centers turned out.  For the rest of my stamping I used Over the Rainbow stamp set and some Washi Tape.  I can hardly wait to see what I stamp for the holidays!!

Twine Keeper

I don't know about you, but when I go to use some of my twine it usually turns out to be a disaster waiting to happen!  No matter how I try to put it away it always turns into a ball of worms!  I saw on several blogs different ways to organize your twine and decided to go for it!  The easy part was getting the clothespins - the hard part was unwrapping it to put it around the clothespins!  But - I persevered and am so happy with the outcome! 

 

 

All you have to do is wrap the twine around the clothespin.  When you get to the end just pinch it and it will keep the end nice and secure.  I then put them into a glass container for safe keeping!  Try it - you'll like it!

 

 

We had a great time at the scrap booking fair.  It wasn't as big as last year, but we still had fun.  This was Sarah's first year and she enjoyed the make n' takes.

 

Needless to say, my debit card took a bit hit.  Lots of new ideas and stamps.  I also won a $10 gift certificate to a vendor as a door prize.  I gave it to Sarah who refilled her supply of stickles!  She loves them.  We hope you have a great week!

Thanks for stopping bye,
