What a whirlwind of a month! We’ve been busy here planning projects, coming up with article ideas, and meeting new, amazingly creative people! I can tell you that I would not have been able to handle it all without some serious scheduling and planning.

I thought I was old school because I still use a planner. And I freaking LOVE my planner. I mean, I tried to go digital. I really, really did. With all the todists, the evernotes, and the wunderlists, and there was just always something missing. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a creative person and it’s fun for me to highlight, color code, and add stickers or what, but I can tell you that none of those digital calendars or to-do lists did it for me. So I went back to my trusty old planner.

Well, when we went to the Craft and Hobby Association show in January, I was pleasantly surprised to find out I wasn’t the only one! There were so many paper companies with SO many cute planners. Luckily, I had the perfect one gifted to me earlier in the year otherwise, I would have had to make some tough choices.

Don’t believe me? Just look at these adorable planner pages and decals from Carpe Diem. Yea, that’s right, you can pick a planner in whatever color you want and then add the decal that’s calling your name. Customizable planners? Genius! I love the Carpe Diem Robin’s Posh Egg A5 Planner Boxed Set and the Carpe Diem Posh Basics Stickers!

Or what about the completely personal and customizable collection from Webster’s Pages? I honestly wasn’t familiar with this brand until the show, but I LOVE how easy it was to turn these binders into planners, albums, or even scrapbooks.

There were even really cute stamp companies that had planner pages and adorable stamp collections for calendars, invites, or other planning. This collection from Waffleflower really caught my eye!

Of course, Me & My Big Ideas had such a cute selection of planners and stickers. Their planners look adorable just on their own, but the stickers are made to fit perfect within the pages so even if you’re not super creative, you can make it look like you are!
