My First D.I.Y Planner
Hey Everyone!
I have been wanting to create my own D.I.Y planner for the past couple of months. I adore projects like these because I am able to be create not only a unique product but memories as well. In order to learn how to make your own planner, I watched a variety of videos on YouTube and read numerous blogs. Most people had purchased an Erin Condren, MAMBI or a Kate Spade planner to customize. I was hesitant to spend a lot of money because I was concerned whether or not I would be able to keep up with decorating and customizing my planner. I decided to purchase a notebook and customize it completely; I thought this would encourage myself to keep up with this project for the many months to come. The notebook I used did come in an agenda format, but Chapters was out of stock when I went to purchase it.
