Hello 2022

WOW. It's been a minute. I even had to update my age over there on the description 😳

So how does one begin blogging again? Do you just update a few things, decide what's still relevant, and start writing? I think that's what I'm going to do! 

So what's been happening since 2019? Well covid. Duh. Working as a health care provider during a pandemic has been... interesting to say the least. I'll skip those 2 years and just focus on the right now! 

We continued being Passholders and kept going to Dollywood, Disney, and Universal.

I became a planner babe.

here's a lil link for ya

We finally found our perfect camper and traded in our old one.

I become a plant lady.

We discovered (and fell in love with!) Buc-ee's! They're currently building the world's largest less than 2 hours from us, at the Smoky Mountains exit. #cantwait

I continued collecting vintage Pyrex.

I kept scrapbooking but mostly switched to Disney layouts. In fact, I joined a Disney design team. I've been part of Disney Creative Co for 2022 and it's amazing! I've received a ton of fun products from Scraps and Ink Crafts.

There's probably a lot more updates that I can't think of currently, but I'll get to them eventually. I'll be updating the blog with lots of posts with projects I've worked on this year. Hope you'll stick around for more!

I love reading each and every comment! Be sure to keep up with me on Instagram, and Pinterest

Let's talk Planners - and a freebie!

Happy New Year! I spent the day straightening up, finishing products, cleaning up my craft desk, and hanging out with hubby. I also made some Happy Planner stickers!

I started using the Happy Planner last year and I love that it's a disc bound system. That means I can add pages, remove them, add photos, and more. I'm not a big decorator but I do have a ridiculous sticker stash and I plan on using it a little more than I did last year. I need room to write, people! This is a functional planner.

So I'm using two planners this year and made stickers to go with each: a mini Shake it Up Happy Planner that I'm using for fitness (got it at Michael's). I made scale stickers and yoga stickers. I do a weekly weigh in and will add those stickers to the weekly pages. The yoga stickers will be put on the monthly pages on the days I do yoga. It will be neat to see those calendars at the end of the year!

My other planner is the classic Striped Floral Happy Planner for my every day stuff (it was a Hobby Lobby exclusive). I wanted a way to keep up with when I finished books so I'll add the book icon stickers to the bottom section of my planner on the days I finish a book. I've found that my week goes SO MUCH SMOOTHER when I make time to plan my week on Sundays... so I'll be adding these cute "Happy planner" stickers to my Sundays!

I made these stickers a couple of ways and thought I'd share in case you were inspired to make your own. In all cases, I opened the pictures of my planners in the design file so I could use the eye dropper tool to select colors from the planner. Then you have color coordinating stickers!

Scale: I bought some printable scale stickers on Etsy, copied and pasted one scale into Silhouette software, and traced it. I made the scale "no cut" and then drew a square around it for the cut lines.

Yoga: I took a regular cut file from the Silhouette store, made the lines "no cut" and then drew a circle around the yoga girl. I just had the circle lines as cut lines.

Book: same as the yoga girl except I made a square shape around it for the cut lines.

Happy Planner: I just drew this one out of basic shapes! I made a rectangle for the book, added a heart and drew little skinny rectangle boxes for the discs. Again I drew a shape around the whole thing for the cut line.

If you're like me and need a little reminder to schedule some planner time in, feel free to download the Happy Planner cut file for your Cameo! I left it editable so you can change the colors to match your planner if you want!

Do you use a Happy Planner?
