Hello again! Here I am doing another Plan With Me with no video.
One of these days... I swear.
Anyway, this week the good ol' Erin Condren "colorful" presented me with yet another water-colored challenge...
Purple and orange all over the place.
Ugh.
After considering (once again) to ditch all this colorful crap and run back to my MAMBI Happy Planner... I decided to stick this one out and go with this kit called Let's Fall Away
It's over all scheme is more teal and pink but it has both orange and purple as accents so... there.
What's that - you ask, as you visually measure those decorative full boxes?
Aren't those a little larger than normal?
Well, yes they are, you sticker size expert!
You see, the boxes on the Erin Condren planners and the Classic Happy Planner are both 1.5 inches wide, but the Happy Planner boxes are just over a quarter inch longer taking each daily column farther down the page, and that's exactly what I wanted to try in my EC.
I started out as normal, flipping the book upside down because I find it easier to line the stickers up evenly in my official upside down stacking method. And just to go super crazy here, I started out with my weekend...
Actually that was because this kit has a two box spread that I wanted to see in place.
In the next pic, you can see how much farther the Happy Planner size stickers hang down.
My genius plan coming together... mwah-ha-ha!
Ok, it's not quite Halloween, yet.
But I truly like the way the Happy Planner size stickers came together in the EC...
The HP washi strips for the bottom of the page do not line up properly with the EC columns, but that didn't matter since the columns came all the way down. I didn't need the washi!
I really liked the way it turned out!
It's amazing how small things can make me so happy.
I'm a truly simple girl.
Anyway... you may have noticed all my little stickies on the page before I started my master plan?
That's how I keep track of up-coming events and tasks. When a child tells me she needs a ride to a club meeting, or has an after school function... I immediately put it on a sticky and stick it on the day it's supposed to happen. When a child tells me oops I didn't say Monday, I think it's on Tuesday, I immediately move the sticky to the new day. When the child tells me no, it actually was Monday, I don't why you think it's Tuesday, I immediately move it back to the original spot. And so on.
Usually, by the time I'm ready to plan my week all the stickies have settled into their correct places and I use them as my guide for the quarter boxes which I fill out before sticking them into the book so they might be somewhat legible in my horrendous handwriting.
And here's the pages that I used...
A few leftovers, but there usually are at this point.
That sampler page will be kept close and used up little by little as children come in with more to say.
Oh, did I say that meeting was Monday? Well there's another one Tuesday, of course. I'm pretty sure I told you that already.
And that's it.
All that water coloring didn't exactly blend in, but that's all right. I'm too busy focusing on how cute the Little Things look all lined up at the bottom.
Simple things.
