DLP Planner - Ideas

I'm always looking for new ways to add dates to my weekly planner pages.  This time, I used ledger paper. Cut some strips, stamp the days... attach to the page. Easy and simple.

I have also mentioned before picking up these pads of paper at the dollar store.

This time of year, the calendars and planners are out for next year, and with that comes some new pads to look over.  I got this one recently, again, just a dollar, and more pages than I will ever need for my planner.

If they don't fit exactly, I can always trim them down a little, as I did for the daily blocks here.  And I like to start the week with Sunday, not Monday, which is another reason I usually cut them apart to use them.

These two weeks added a lot of color to my planner!

Bits and pieces

Honestly... who saves things like this:

I guess the answer is, people who are distracted by anything with color on it!  And people who might also be inclined to save things like this....

Or even this.....

But if things like this pile up in your kitchen junk drawer, just put them on a journal page and pretend that you planned it that way all along. 

Tip of the Day

Where have I been?  I have no idea.  Seems like all I have been doing is working and sleeping.  Next thing I know, we are well into October and I haven't posted anything all month!

My tip of the day is to look around you.  I'll bet there are things in your home that you see every day, but you have been looking at them so long, you no longer "see" them.  Take some close-up photos of them.  You will love those things all over again!

This is from a gift I received many years ago.  I've been trying to get some good close-up shots of things like this and having fun doing it!

Candy Corn Chronicles #1

In honor of October, I present tips from the Candy Corn Chronicles.

Tip One:  You can stamp on candy corn, if you so choose.  (But you might not want to tell people you actually sit around stamping on candy corn.  They might think you are, um, weird or something.)

Tip Two:  If you like free clip art, you might want to head over to Retro Cafe and download this sheet of Halloween images.  It is only available through October.
