Every year, around this time, my dad used to say, "Well, we're finally on the right side of winter."

I always loved that expression...and I'm in full agreement! The end of winter is definitely the "right side" as far as I'm concerned.

As we move closer & closer to spring, I get more and more excited about all that lies ahead.

Warmer weather, of course, but also longer days, the sounds of the kids playing outside, and weekends spent on the patio with friends & family.

I've created this planner dashboard as a way to dress up my Memory Planner in anticipation of spring, and as a reminder that now really is the perfect time for a new beginning...


Take a look at the following little video to see just how I created my newest planner accessory...




Here's all you'll need to create your own!

• The dashboard .pdfs below (download one of these, or create your own!) - these are available in both Classic & Personal Memory Planner sizes. If you're printer can't print custom-sized paper (i.e. 6x8 or 4x7.25), download & print the 8.5x11 option and trim around the outline provided. If your printer CAN print custom-sized sheets, feel free to download the .pdfs without the 8.5x11 tag...these options are pre-sized to fit directly into your planner.
• Laser Printer - to print a "Minc-able" image. See Heidi's favorite HERE.
• A Heidi Swapp Minc Foil Applicator
• Minc Reactive Foil
• Stickers/washi tape/other embellishments. Mine are from the new Heidi Swapp Fresh Start collection
•  Laminating pouches
• Hole punch/Planner Punch Board/binding machine

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello, hello!

Can you even believe it?

Here it is the middle of April, and, while I'm getting this March walk-through video up a little late, I'm STILL completely caught up with my daily documenting in my Memory Planner!

It's the first time I haven't fallen behind with a project like this, and it makes me so happy!

Wanna see how I completed March?

Here, take a look...



And here are some close-ups of a few of the pages...

Here's a secret...

I'm not the best project-finisher.

It's true.

I'm GREAT at starting them.

But finishing?

Meh. Not so much.

HOWEVER!!!

I actually kept up with my Memory Planner all through January & February and I've just uploaded a video of walk-through of my pages to my YouTube channel!




Here, take a look!



Woo hooooo!

It's my plan to do a walk-through at the end of each month...but I'm taking it one week at a time...(smile).



Thanks so much for taking a peak!

Guess what? Today is the 10th! So you know what that means, right?
