I LOVE My Planner!

“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning.” 
― Gloria Steinem


I have been a journal writer,
Dreamer
and 
planner
most of my life.

All those stickers
and papers
make me HAPPY!



I have used everything from simple notebooks
to Stephen Covey.
My Planner these days
is the 
Happy Planner from MAMBI.
I am on my SECOND one!!




I belong to several Facebook planner groups and I have noticed one thing....

I am NOT your traditional planner girl.
Nope.




I tend to treat my planner more like 
a diary/journal, adding little treasures
that make me SMILE!




One of my favorite things to use in my planners
are vintage images.

These girls just speak to me.



Along with the girls I use and LOVE the quote stickers from MAMBI.
I have every single one!!




Project Life cards work great in my planner, too




I started keeping my Happy Planner a year ago.
It's always SO FUN going back and seeing what we were doing a year ago.

Along with planning and journal taking
I use my planner for fitness, writing down my Dreams,
making lists and favorite quotes that inspire me.

Are you a planner? Be sure and let me know!!

The Power of Art Journaling



I have always been a writer.
Always.

It was my dream to write.
And still is.

But I am 
SO
grateful
Art Journaling
came into my life.

I think if you take the quote above and substitute art journaling for the word write...
it's the same thing.

Art Journaling does give me strength
to
see.






 Art Journaling does give me an outlet 
to
be
someone
else.




Art Journaling does allow me
to
face
my
fears.



I am so grateful for the POWER in Creating!




Art TRULY does Heal.
