my two planners

as you may already be aware, i did a silly thing this year.  i committed to doing two planners.  i admit i may not have really thought it through all the way.  there has been some overlapping of a few things, but basically each planner theme is different and that helps me keep them both up to date.

i had intended on doing just the me and my big ideas planner this year. i had it prepped it early on and then decided i needed (and i really mean that...i NEEDED) a hobonichi planner.  so i ordered it.
 
my "me and my big ideas" planner has a theme of a random photo a day of something mundane in or around the house, with a few people photos scattered about.  here is a sample of a completed week from this planner.

and my second planner is my hobonichi planner.  that theme is for drawing and watercoloring in.  each page is a day and every day i draw something whimsical, put the weather, and draw my supper, and of course, let's not forget the washi tape.  that's a must!  here is a sample page from this planner.

and that little man is my grandson, benny.  he is so proud of his bagel pizzas he made.  he says he wants to be a master chef.  it's always so great to capture these precious moments during the year.
do you keep a planner?  if so, i'd love to hear what you do.

this year planners

yup.  you read that right.  planners is plural.  i have never tried to keep two planners at the same time so this is a first for me.  i always prep a planner during the year for the following year but there is no commitment to write in it.  

i had planned on doing a me and my big ideas planner for 2017.  i always have a different theme for each year.  so i decided that mambi planner this year would be a year of mundane and ordinary photos from around my house.  a photo day of things i probably don't pay too much attention to at any given moment.

so here is the first half of the week started.  i like the fact of the photos each day but i believe i prepped it with too many other things because i write big and there isn't much room left over for me to write about my day.  other than that i think it's going to be a great planner and i couldn't be happier with the theme i chose.
my second planner came about because of my obsessive/compulsive behavior.  i saw some people using a hobonichi planner about two years ago and i loved it.  but since i had already gotten a midori planner that i hadn't used yet, i just couldn't bring myself to justifying the purchase of a hobonichi.

but as my mind would have it, or wouldn't have it might be better said, i couldn't let it alone.  so i ordered one.  i'm so happy i did.  i knew i wanted this planner to draw and use watercolor, stickers and washi tape.

  so here are my first few days, although i will state, there is still some tiny spaces i may have to fill in with something as time goes on.
