More planner stuff

I told you about my {Word of the Year} in a recent post.   The word {More} was supposed to be about more creativity, more connection and more moving about.

Well, two weeks in, it seems to be about more Happy Planner stuff especially stickers!!!  I now have 7 books of stickers with another 4 in transit.  I really recommend hifivergirl on eBay for her excellent customer service.

I made myself a bookmark using some paper I printed out and the acrylic backing that came on the planner.  It has the holes ready punched in it.  In Happy Planner terms it's called a Dashboard.  I have no idea because it's a bookmark!!!

I stuck in all the boxes I made that I told you about in the previous planner post.

I bought a digital print of books on a bookshelf from PeaceBasket99 on Etsy.  My plan is to record the books I read.  However this is a list of my favourite authors on Kindle Unlimited.  They all write detective fiction.  I will be doing other lists.

Here are the pages for the month.  For the last two years in my journals I have only filled in the calendar at the end of the month so that I only recorded things that actually happened.  I thought I would be safe this month to put things in ahead of time.  Wrong!  Textile Explorations was postponed due to Liske's boys having Covid.

On to my weekly layouts.  This was my first ever spread. I'm still not sure whether to cut the 2022 numbers out of coloured paper to cover up the not quite black ones.

The first week of January

This week.  I used the Miss Maker stickers because this week was going to be heavily creative but that didn't happen.  However I have cleared the table so I can work on it.  And I cleared up a bit of the spare room.  Need a lie down now!

Here's the layout for next week.  I've hardly anything to do next week so there's more stickers than ever.

How are you recording your life this year?  Journal?  Diary?

Looking back, looking forward 2022

Thank you so much for reading this blog, making comments both here and on Facebook and generally staying with me throughout 2021. I really do appreciate that you spend time with me.

I have mostly posted twice a week throughout the year - on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I hope that wasn't too much for you. 

That said, I write my blog for me and only me. So if you find things of interest here, it's a bonus.

I don't usually look at the Stats but for the benefit of this post I thought I would. I wrote 96 posts last year. In checking the numbers I found a post that I’d written in July but never published. You’ll be able to see it next Tuesday. 

The most popular post in 2021 was Journal 2021 which received 166 views. And coming in second was Committed to Cloth with 153. It is astounding to me that so many people are interested in what I do. Especially, as I've said, I do this for me. 

So thank you again to those who find me by chance, those of you that follow by email or by blog readers or my Facebook page. I appreciate each and every one of you.

So what is to come in 2022? More of the same really.

Photo tutorials.
Recording my creative journey.
The occasional post on mental health.
Photos of my travels – if I get to do any!
Journaling my Word of the Year 

Sometimes I wonder if I should change it up a bit. But if it isn't broken - why fix it?  

If there are things you would like to see on my blog, please let me know in the comments below. 

Thank you again for sticking with me
