Back in the day, I would buy yearly planners.  I’d use them of course, but the planners were always very blah and plain.

As my creative weed started to grow, I realized I couldn’t continue buying planners and be moderately satisfied with it (they are expensive too).

At the end of 2016 I decided I was done with buying pre-made planners and was going to start 2017 with a plain book and make my own.  I am so glad I did. Now, I make my own weekly spreads. And I love it!!

Some of the layouts are extremely basic while some are a bit over the top. The cool thing about it all is I made it myself and the colors are bright and chipper.

Here is my current layout for the week –
