Blogmas Day 21 - Happy Planner Christmas Week Layout

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. As some of you may know, I write in The Happy Planner weekly and use it to plan out my weeks. I have loved using the planner for the past three years. I love adding the stickers, and then filling in the to do lists with my tasks and also adding notes to remember. I created a layout last night for this special week of Christmas. I am excited to share it with you. Please join me as I discuss this special layout below.

I added a couple of to-do lists for Monday and Tuesday, because I usually get more done these days at the start of the week. I will also be busy Wednesday as well, but for this week of Christmas, I would like to have most of my to do tasks completed early in the week to enjoy Christmas.

For the end of the week, I just placed the big "Happy Christmas" sticker that takes up a few days. I always enjoy the day before and after Christmas as well because we are celebrating Christmas, so I went ahead and put the sticker to fill all those days. I love how it is so colorful and feels so special. I placed the Santa and "Santa stop here" sticker for Christmas Eve because we all hope Santa fills our stockings and makes our next morning magical. I added the gather sticker because we'll be visiting some family this year and gathering together. I am really looking forward to this part of the week!

I placed this "Merry & Bright" sticker in the corner of the first page which is my quotes or inspiration spot. I just love this sticker in the red and green with the holly. It makes me so happy.

I love this peace on earth sticker it is so pretty with the various colors. I hope there is peace on earth especially at this time of the year.

I just love this cute bicycle with gifts on the back of it. It is adorable.

I used this sticker book called Christmas Joy from Me & My Big Ideas and The Happy Planner. It has a lot of stickers to choose from and I got all the stickers you saw today from this booklet.

This is the planner I used this year. I loved the message "your year to shine".

Thank you for visiting my blog today for Blogmas day 21! I am so excited for this week leading up to Christmas it already feels so special. I had a lot of fun making this layout last night and anticipating the fun week ahead. See you tomorrow for another Blogmas post!

Blogmas: Christmas Market Trip and Happy Planner Christmas Layout

Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I have been busy getting ready for Christmas, finishing knitting the stockings, knitting gifts, going to the holiday market, and buying gifts. There are only three days left until Christmas now and time is running out to get all the things done. I went to the Toronto Christmas Market in the Distillery District last night with my boyfriend and my family and my sister's fiance. It was so  nice to see all the lights, look around in the stores, and get good food and drink mulled wine. It was my first time drinking mulled wine last night and I really enjoyed it.

There were so many lit up words around the market this year. They had joy, love, and there was also family which were all very popular spots for photos. I saw a big family huddle under the word for a group picture.

I feel so much joy for this time of year and spending time with those I love

All you need is love

Christmas countdown!

 We had such a great time going to the market with my family and having dinner at Mill Street Brewery. We always have such a nice time at the market with so much to see and I enjoyed the Christmas lights most of all this year. I can't wait to go back next year!

I planned out my spread in my Happy Planner for this week and the beginning of next week for the around Christmas and to keep organized with the busy schedules. I was excited to use the Christmas and holiday themed stickers from the seasonal Create 365 Happy Planner sticker pack. The photos below are mostly "before the pen" photos, which means they are photos of the sticker layouts before I write in my plans. I will add the details now that I have finished placing the stickers.

December 19th-20th

As you can see from the photo below, I left the remainder of my Christmas shopping to today. I had been planning on finishing earlier but of course that never happens! I still have one or two gifts to buy tomorrow.

December 21st-24th

I really love all of these stickers, the girl and the dog on the sled sticker is so cute. I love the "have yourself a merry little Christmas" sticker as well.

December 25th-27th

I will be getting a new planner for 2018 and I am looking forward to another year of planning in my Happy Planner. I really had a lot of fun this year using the planner. I love the vertical layout because I like the way I can organize my days using the squares in the planner and plan morning, afternoon and evening. 

Tonight I was working on knitting a gift for my boyfriend and got a lot of it done. I am keeping it a secret on the blog since he reads it. I am excited to share the finished project with you after Christmas and share the pattern I used as well. I hope all of your knitting and crochet projects are coming together nicely too!
