Notes and Doodles
Yearly planners are one of the most wonderful items ever created. Having used one for the past 16 years, I have tried many types and brands, but I adore my 2011 Kate Spade Spiral Desktop Calendar.
Each month begins with a blank page and a festive image created by artist Jenny Bowers, along with a white blank page to keep notes for the month. This is perfect for my obsessive list making! (You know there is a problem when you write lists of the lists you need to make).
The back section features several pages titled Notes and Doodles, an appropriate space for jotting down all the notes for which you never really have a place (random Post Its on the fridge anyone?) Which brings me to the next topic... magazines!
I have four magazine subscriptions: InStyle, Real Simple, American Spirit (the official magazine of the Daughters of the American Revolution), and Texas Highways (up until this past December). Needless to say, this means there are many, many periodicals lying around... most of which I hang on to simply for one or two features.
In an effort to eliminate some of the stacks, I decided to put those Notes and Doodles pages to use by taping in the articles and photos I want to keep: historical information... items I want to remember to purchase... logical advice... attractive interior design... travel destinations... How To's... yummy recipes... awesome quotes... things that are funny or happy... fabulous clothing... and inspirational musings.
Not only have I been able to declutter our living room but it should be fun looking back at the end of the year to see the clippings I found important enough to keep : )
Aside from time management, how do you use your planner?
Unlike many planners, this one only has monthly calendars which I find to be the best view to organize my time. Even in college I never used the week-by-week pages and found them to be a waste of space. I love not having to fumble through them now!

Preppy Lane's Kate Spade Giveaway
Howdy Y'all... it is SNOWING (again) in Texas!!
The exclamation points make it appear as though I am excited but being stuck in the house since Monday evening has not been my idea of a good time (especially when we oh-so-desperately need to get to the grocery store)! There is currently one inch of ice topped with six inches of snow on my street... and it is still snowing!! BRRR!
Thankfully, it is no longer 8 degrees like it was earlier this week... we have inched up to 19... such an accomplishment...!! With the Super Bowl taking place in a few days this is kind of a big deal (both airports were shut down earlier this week)... although our friends from the North are probably amused by our inability to deal with this winter weather... not sure they would do so well in our Texas summers, though... several years ago we had more than 100 days of temperatures over 100...!!
Even though the weather is a bummer Preppy Lane has brightened up this winter day for me... with the most fabulous giveaway! Visit her page for details on how to win an amazing Kate Spade Big Apple Darla wallet in PINK... perfect for spring (which will hopefully be here soon!) Y'all stay warm!
