Keeping it Together

There are some things that technology just can't improve upon.  In my opinion, a good old fashioned calendar is one of them.  I want to touch pen to paper when jotting down an event, meeting, or get-together I'll be attending.  There's something about putting it in writing that solidifies it as a legitimate commitment in my life.  I know that my best friend Laura shares my sentiment.  As long as I've known her, Laura's planner is only a reach away.  So, when I stumbled upon this fantastic paper company, I knew I'd have to design an "On the Go Life Planner" for my BFF.  And oh, it was so much fun!  From creating personalized tabs for her activities (i.e. church event, date with Josh, Kentucky trip) to photo stickers of all of her family members (and me, of course) to put on their birthdays, I had a blast.  Interestingly enough, just a few days after I ordered the finished product, Laura called to let me know that she and her husband Josh had just been chosen as the new children's pastors at their church, making their lives much more full.

So here's to a planner that doesn't make you feel like a high school student, but isn't as rigid and boring as the calendar on your phone or at your office either.  I liked it so much, I may have just created one for myself.
