~Crafting~

I promised myself when I got the Silhouette that I would get into my craft room and play more often.  It’s hard when I’m working every day but I’ve found that even if I sneak in there for half an hour a night I feel better.  This weekend past I went into my craft room for pretty much the whole day on Sunday and had a blast!  I used my Silhouette, my Zutter, my printer, and all kinds of tools I haven’t used in awhile. 

I had been surfing the night before and ended up finding templates for creating my own daily planner.  Now I LOVE planners, something the nerd inside me loves to use!  Unfortunately I spent a lot of money on one last year and it ended up not getting used as much as I’d like when I changed jobs.  So I wasted that money! 

With my new job now a lot of my planning is done electronically so I don’t find myself writing things down as much.  I sync my work Outlook with my Blackberry and it keeps me going!  It works but I still wanted something for personal stuff…

So I made this:

It’s fun, and has a monthly planner, to do list, menu planner, shopping list, and blank note pages in it.  It took me less then 3 hours to whip it up!  Love it!  I will mostly use it for planning our house stuff, activities, menus, shopping…If I like it then I will make a bigger one that will last a couple of months at a time.
