Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal.  But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks.

I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl!  The printables that Lamberts Lately developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use!

Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder.

Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder.
I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already. 


It was such a happy coincidence that my new tab dividers coordinated so well with the pretty headers on the blog planning sheets!


After each planning sheet, I added some lined paper for me to free form thoughts and ideas into my blogging binder.  I'm actually not using all of the sheets that Lambert Lately offers.  I picked and chose a little bit for ones that would fit me and my blog best.


I love the way it turned out.  Now to put this bad boy to use!

I love all of the great things that you can find on Pinterest.  What a great site for crafters!  I spend more time than I probably should on Pinterest, so please come follow me for quilts, clothing, inspiration, and more great pins like these!

    This is exactly what I've been needing for my blog. It's been on my mind for weeks! Also, I love shopping at the office supply store too. :)

      I'm glad my post helped inspire you. I really like mine and find it very useful. Sometimes the prints on office supplies can be just as cute as printed fabrics!

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today.    After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing.   I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s.   Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one.   I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind.   These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson.   I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co.   “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines though.   The colors are right up my a

Tori's Pillow

My boyfriend’s little sister had her 11 th birthday this week.   We’re taking her out to the movies tomorrow afternoon and I wanted to bring her something hand made with her birthday gift.   She’s already a crafty little girl and loves to make beaded bracelets and necklaces.   When I am there doing a little bit of hand work, she loves to watch me sew, too!   So, I picked up a little bracelet kit and a peace sign cross stitch kit that I plan on working on with her, as well as the first Harry Potter book.   She’s at the same age I was when I started reading those books and I hope she comes to love them as much as I do!     I debated for quite a while on what to make for her to add to her birthday gift.   I contemplated making a big floor cushion for her or a quillow for travelling on the volleyball bus next year.   Both of these would be great gifts and I will probably still make them for her soon, but I needed something quicker, smaller, and something that required little t
