This Little Planner of Mine

My name is Paula and I am a planner / Stationary addict

I like the idea of being organized tho many thing in my home are not. The one thing I like to use to stay organised is my planner or as i like to call it "My Bible"

My Bible is a large Kikki -K Mint planner (A5 size planner), It has 7 dividers split as below

(Not sure why but it looks Blue in this pick)

Front of the Planner - I know this isn't really a divider but this is where I house Business card holders, plastic pockets, Emergency Information Page, Physician Contacts, Year Overview, Special Dates, Annual Appointments, Annual Renewals

Calendar - This section is self exploratory - I have my weekly planner in this section which is a 1 week over two pages.  This is a vertical layout starting on a Monday.  I found these on a website called Calvin was Right and the planner is called The Pretty Pretty Planner the box's in the vertical layout are 4cm x 4.9cm so the perfect size for all those Erin Condren sized stickers out there and best of all its a free download.





To Do's  - This section holds my Bucket List, To Do's, Things to make, Recipes to try, Notes, Books to Read & Buy, Movies to See & Buy and lastly my Password Tracker







Well-being - In here it's all about Health and Fitness, the pages in here are my Step Into Life timetable, Goal Tracking, Weight Loss Tracker, Measurement Tracker, Run/Walk Tracker and a Fitness Tracker




Finance - Show me the MONEY!, We have a Bank Information page, Budget, Bill Payment Checklist, Account Register for each of my accounts






Cakes By Paula - This is my fantasy business, This holds Pages like a price list from my local cake
decorator supply shop. Gift/Giveaway / Discount Tracker, Order/Profit Tracker, Monthly Expense Tracker, Yearly Expense Tracker and a Mileage Tracker





Seasonal - I think I need a better name for this section.  This section is where i am keeping pages that i may not need all year round. At the moment i have Job Application Tracker in it but i may also use it for things like Christmas Trackers or Notes for an upcoming event.

School - As I went back to school last year I am using this section to keep my  timetable and a map of the school. I am sure there is a lot more i could do with it just not sure what.  (feel free to offer some suggestions)

Most of my inserts are from ThePolkaDotPosie on Etsy (unless otherwise stated), I have a mix of a couple of planners from this store in my Bible including Direct Sale's Planner, Budget Planner and Health & Fitness Planner.  Jennifer also made me a custom cover, She also has a website and if you head over there you will find some awesome ideas and some free printable's like a 4th of July Treat Tags, Outdoor Scavenger Hunt, Christmas Printable's (I have these, just not in my planner at the moment), Thanksgiving Printable's, Halloween Treat Tags and lots more. I also have more of her planners on my Etsy Wish list.



I have  not gotten into the full decorating of my planner however I do like using stickers in my planner. I have two main Etsy stores I like to order from, The first one is HipDigiChick this was the first shop I ever purchased from and  I fell in love with the range straight away. My must have's from this store were the Washing Machine, Weight Scales, Cleaning Bucket, Go Walk Running Shoe, Yoga Frog Vacuum Cleaner and Workout Bottle.  When my order arrived they kindly added in some extra stickers which of course have now ended up on my Etsy Wish list.




My Second Sticker Store is Lime & Mortar, This is an Australian store so postage is much cheaper for me, and the customer server is the best I have ever had (online or in store) I have ordered lots of stickers from Leanne and she has even made custom stickers from me too including forklifts, Tupperware blows, Weeks of the year and Girl Guide logos.  I have also purchased some of her sets which if i order the "Short" size fit nicely in my planner and as you may guess yes i have a lot of Lime & Mortars range in my wishlist too.

Hello Again Friends

Hi All,

I know its been a long time and for that I am sorry. So much has been going on good & bad, and to be honest like a lot of first time Bloggers I had no idea how much time, planning and commitment  went into a Blog.

First thing I would like to say is I did not succeed as much I hopped I would of at the 100 Day Challenge. I had some issues with my foot  which did not allow me to exercise, I aggravated the new joins in my foot and was put back on rest for a week and after that week I found it very hard to be motivated to do anything. I also stopped doing a food plan and weight loss journal and therefore I stopped writing my Blog.

In regards to the 100 Day Challenge I found that 20 things to change was WAY to many to start off with straight away. I was finding that I was forgetting half of the challenges were.  The only one i would remember to do consistently was "Save $1 a day" I know that 100 Days are up and
I did not get to achieve everything I set out to do, in fact I have even picked up some of my old bad habits including drinking soft drink, eating junk food and not having a regular sleeping pattern but that dose not mean i can't get back on the bike again (metaphysically speaking) I plan to set myself another 100 Day Challenge this year with more achievable goals.

Now I did say I had some good things happen. I hosted a very successful Afternoon Tea I sadly didn't get any photos taken, I have also had some cake decorating jobs come my way from family and friends.   The best news of all is I have started Certificate IV in Patisserie at William Angliss. I have already completed 10 Subjects in term 4 of last year. Some of those subjects were Cakes, Produce Yeast Goods, Produce Cakes, Coffee Service and Methods of Cookery.

              

So whats the plan for 2016??? Well I will be continuing with school, my blog, getting back on the fitness wagon and because I thought I didn't have enough to going on, I signed up to be a leader with Girl Guides Victoria in my local area, I will be unit leader for the 14+ girls. I look forward to sharing all of this with you.

Please feel free to ask me any questions

Talk to you Soon
