Now, what do I do with it?
Typically, I go all out on decorating a new planner of this size. I have added a few stickers. Miss Moss Gifts has the best curvy girl stickers; my nameplate page has an Aphrodite sticker on it.
I added a strip of washi tape to the page edge where the blank pages begin, even though they are numbered (which I LOVE), so I can flip to that spot quickly without worry.
I even added a few little stickers (from Hubman and Chubgirl)on the December 2023 monthly spread to delineate various events and holidays. That’s it.
I had more issues trying to figure out what cover I wanted and what cover worked best with this common planner.
I ended up using a Sunshine Sticker Co pink glittery jelly cover. I then stick the planner in its jelly cover into my sparklely Weeks-sized cover I bought from PaperBoundCreations (on Etsy). I love her covers.
I have been contemplating ordering an embroidered cloth cover from my other favorite cover making/Etsy seller: MarieLeeCrafts, but this is not exactly the best time of year to be buying myself anything.
I am happy with what I have. I don’t need to have that many options to change things up. I have several Weeks-sized covers at the moment.
Now, we’ll have to see what happens once the New Year begins. I will begin using the goal planning/quarterly planning sections … as soon as I figure out what I want to set as my goals for the coming year.
