project my life | february 2020

Today I'm sharing the month of February in my album that is all about ME. ⁠ Feels like it was almost forever ago now to have so much freedom and February I had achieved so many goals I'd set.  I guess I need to get back in that mind frame as I can STILL do that.  ANYWAYS for the month of February I used the TN kit from Cocoa Daisy as it's absolutely gorgeous and I just wanted to use it over and over again.

project life 2020 | week #1-9

Welp I was going to have this blog on the down low with only really sharing my freebies with using instagram as pretty much a blog format.  But with everything going on right now, I'm starting to think it wouldn't be a bad idea to start it back up again and to do so I've back dated some creative projects and decided to share weeks 1-9 of the family album in the one blog post to make it slightly easier.  So here we go, week 1 - 9 looked like this for us Winnell's.

WEEK TWO :
Week 2 for 2020 and I was out of here! Off on my yearly holiday where I spend a week with my bestie.⁠  It was all about selfies, laughter and FOOD. You don't even want to know how much we spent on food, wow, WORTH it!⁠

My plans for 2020 family album.⁠

I mean in her own sisterly loving way, haha.⁠

WEEK NINE :

Week 9 in the family album is smaller. I decided that if I didn't have photos and stories to fill a full spread then I would only do the one and not two and make it work.⁠  Lucky for me it worked out week 8 was also lacking photos and together it looks like a full weeks spread.⁠  I used the February kits from @cocoa_daisy and they worked in perfectly for all the photos of my cat, Valerie for this week.⁠

self love and gratitude | cocoa daisy

The month of February is the month of love and so I had a thought of loving myself a little more and reminding myself of what makes me happy.  I instead of jotting down my day in this section of my planner.  I decided to instead use the daily for documenting what I’m grateful for that day and on the opposite side I wrote a short note to myself on the CUTEST sticky note pad paper EVER.

January didn’t turn out fabulous for me and I really didn’t want to bring that into February and so I wrote this note that I could always go back and reflect on.   I actually enjoyed this process so much that I’m considering taking it on again in March.  It’s also fun to grab out your stickers and have a play and I did just that for the first week.  I absolutely love that cute little dog and hope he makes an appearance later on again.

The next week was a full week.  the thing about gratitude is there is always something to be grateful for.  Even the smallest thing can brighten your outlook for the day.  Something as small as your coffee.  I decided to keep with the theme of the sticky note macaroon and do it every week.  I did plan to decorate a lot more, but I felt the weekly page with a few added die cuts of stickers was all that was needed for this week.

This week was all about being grateful for getting a spring clean started in summer and technology allowing me to keep in constant contact with my eldest whom recently moved state.

I’m a sucker for pink and this months kit had all the pink feels!  The thing with typing on the typewriter and acrylic nails is that sometimes you hit a key by mistake while hitting the right key.  I’ve learnt to just go with this and accept it as a happy, funny flaw.  This week was all about  being grateful for a trip to get new blinds, a supportive husband in my never ending ideas on achieving my goals for February, creative mojo coming back finally after having a struggle for some time and lastly a lazy Sunday.

I think we all need to hear this at some stage right?  I love the quote that is below as it feels like it ties in, a little progress each day adds up to BIG results.  Motherhood described if you ask me.

I challenged myself this week to try and use both a sticker and a die cut and not just one and not the other.  Fair to say, while only small with the sticker I did achieve this.  I was grateful for so many different things so far this week.  Grateful for the support of my parents in trying to achieve me goal and the help they are offering, grateful for painting a coffee table with my youngest and is now proudly out of storage in the lounge room with all our favourite family games stored at arms length.

My dear self this week was to remind me to STOP feeling so overwhelmed and to remember how far I’ve come with our goals for February that I set.  I’m the type of person that wanted it all done, yesterday…

If you consider after reading this of starting next month or heck RIGHT now, I can highly suggest that you do write down one thing you are grateful for everyday or write yourself a note.  Something you would write for someone else, do it for you.

my planner line up for 2020

I'll be sharing below the planners I'll be using for 2020 from top to bottom in the photo above.  Oh and one I'd forgotten.  But is it really a planner..... mmmm you decided.

I was actually going to try and trim down on the planner game and focus on mainly just the one for 2020, let's all laugh about that.  When I was trying a few sizes I got the A6 from Cocoa Daisy and I was SOLD.  I got my cover from Australian brand Mumsy and Bub and I knew that this was going to be my go to, in my bag planner. So you'll be seeing more A6 from Cocoa Daisy in 2020 from me.
Personal size is my size.  I'm loving it.  I actually thought I'd prefer the A5 size, turns out the personal size is more for me.  I got my cover from Mumys and Bubs and right now I'm trying to figure out how to add the rings in a TN style cover.  This was just a quick mock up and I've got some ideas.  No doubt I'll be sharing a finished style soon.  I'll only be using inserts and more from Cocoa Daisy of course, even if I wasn't part of the amazing creative team, I LOVE the style of inserts.

This Happy Planner is different than your average happy planner style.  I'll be using this planner as my social media planner.  I know this might sound silly, I get it, but when you share as much as I do, Kellie Stamps, blog and looking to film more in 2020, I need to have a place to have it all in the one spot.  I like using the monthly spread to figure out my instagram, facebook and blog posts.  Something about getting things on paper and having it in front of me, helps.

The inside works for my social plans and then the rest is daily lists check list, which HELLO this list girl is in love, haha.

My daily go to planner, will always and forever be my, Get To Work Book.  It's NOT pretty inside, lol, because there are scribbles, highlighter and daily to do lists, all go on within this planner.  It's pretty much my dump all.

This planner 2020 Happy Planner I'm going to be using for my memory planner. After starting it up again in 2019 and LOVING it and actually finishing "most" of it, I knew I had to have a dated one this year.

happy planner | November 2019 | week #4

I love having crafty photos within the week.  It's like crafts on crafts, haha.  I did go with the large numbers again for this week.  Not on everyday, but enough.  Look not everyday has a story.  I mean they do, but can be a little repetitive and I've still after documenting for going on almost 10 years don't know if I document like I'm talking to myself and my own memories, my girls or to anyone that happens to read them.  So while the days are getting busier, it's the everyday constant hustle and bustle.  My point to that is, something I'll work on for 2020, but also still have a BIG love for the number stamp set.

GUESS WHAT? I'm up to date with all my projects. I mean not is showing them all just yet, lol. I know I'm bragging, lol. This literally never happens this time of year.

31 minutes for 31 days | october | day 30

31/30 #31minutesfor31days. For this week I decided to go and use all the off cuts from Cocoa Daisy that I'd already fussy cut, because boy do they take some time doing, haha. So I'm going to be sure to use them.⁠  I've used the Bishop Street Alpha from Kellie Stamps to date the week, which was not something I'd done before and loved the result. But then this alpha is my fave for 2019. BIG call, sticking with it.⁠

I'm one day away from 31/31.  I can DO IT!

31 minutes for 31 days | october | day 28

I was determined to use every stamp from the NEW stamp set, Mama Life from my store Kellie Stamps.  I almost got there, so close.  I did the before typewriter a few weeks before filling it in.  Sometimes I'm feeling the creativity, but I'm not so much feeling the journaling side at that point in time and there are absolutely no rules in this craft and that's what I love.  Daybreak was binged by myself and younger two girls, but we did it in our own time separately, wasn't a race, but I won, lol.  I absolutely loved it and SO hope season 2 is in the works.  Here is how it looked after typing.
