Mew~!

My oh my, oh my. I have recently gotten into planning! I needed a planner for quite some time but I never looked into getting one until now. I found that using my phone to schedule appointments were hard for me to remember what I scheduled. The calendar just wasn’t ideal for me. I’m also a pen to paper kind of gal. Writing things automatically helps me retain what I wrote. So I started looking into planners and organization and fell into this beautiful community! I especially love how everyone is so creative and love a lot of the same things that I love!

After some research, I decided on a Kikki-K. I really wanted a feminine color and since the ever popular, gold spotted lilac was discontinued, I had to find something else. Luckily, I found my Kikki on eBay for $85. It is the size “medium” and I found that it’s the perfect size. It’s not too small where it’s hard to decorate and it’s not too big to take with me on the go.

Once I ordered my planner, I knew it was important to get some cute stickers and journal cards. I have a lot of scrap booking paper but I wanted to save it for my inspiration journal. I went to Michael’s and found some super cute stuff!:

Project Life set. I love this since it fits in with my pastel and gold color scheme.

Note pad paper. I already have one of these but I wanted to get a backup because it’s so cute.

Stickers. I have some vacation style stickers and cute little sayings.

Washi Tape. I already have some but I thought having more would be great for decorating.

Here was my first week and first month of decorating. (I actually didn’t follow through with some things I planned because I’ve been so busy.) Please note I didn’t want to decorate my monthly view too much since May was almost over which was when I actually received my planner. My weekly view also looks blank but throughout the week it filled up very quickly. I think in the future I will do an “after” view since my days fill up day by day.

I’m sorry this is late but I wanted to post my first week before I continue on with my planner series! I’ll post my month of June and first week of June soon! I think I will be posting once the week is finished since I plan stuff as I go and my weekly view looks extremely different at the end of the week. Happy planning, darlings!
