This week I used a lovely Valentine’s Day kit from
Futile’s Peregrenations, a French website. She offers some lovely free Happy
Planner kits. Her Valentine’s Day kit can be found below!
Due to some very bad back pain that I've been dealing with, I didn't get my journal page done. However, I'll be getting that done later today. I have a HUGE Etsy and Freebie Haul coming soon. I've been absolutely in love with glitter stickers and also Kawaii stickers; oh so cute!
On my side bar, I have some pretty love birds deco and I kept the fancy "Notes" that was on the page and put down a heart check list, then my Meal Plan tracker and a personal habit tracker for something I'm working on. I added some pretty pink polka-dot washi from Michael's and some lovely deco. Some came from the kit and the little sparkly silver hearts came from the Dollar Tree.
I love adding in a cup of coffee at the top of Monday to get me energized to start my week. On Monday's I always post my planner weekly spread across social media, Instagram and here on my blog. I also have to make a phone call today and I have my daily duties that I partake in every morning for my work. Top if the list, of course is tending to my adorable cat, Cello and getting my coffee!
Here's a pic of my darling, Cello.
Every morning, he get's a little saucer of Cat Sip milk, that's specially designed for cats, as they are lactose intolerant and can't handle milk. Whilst, he's drinking his Ceam as we jokingly call it, I have my coffee :) Then it's off to work, where I do a lot of author promotions, blog tours and any editing that needs done. Also, I take time to pray daily and in the afternoon's, around 3pm I have Teatime and reading!
Tomorrow is Valentine's day, so I decorated my spread for that day, of course, I have my normal work. However, for dinner, my fiance and I are getting Chinese food and I'm going to be changing my meal sticker and putting in a cute Chinese take-out box sticker instead. Also, for the first portion of the week, I'll be working on cutting out and organizing my stickers. I found TONS more freebies and lots of Etsy stickers; so huge Haul is coming soon!
Also, on the author front, I'm still working on re-vamping my writing craft course. I'm putting it officially into action starting March 1st, so I have lots to plan and prepare for! No slacking, this book WILL get written and published, no later than October 1st! Because NANO will be coming in November and all of October, I'll be preparing my NaNoWriMO plan and it's Get Ready, Set, Write, come November 1st! Lots ahead, my friends! Just a side note, I realized I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to have this book out like real fast and not realizing, hey ya gotta have a lot of this knowledge under your belt. To me it's not different than teaching, you can't walk into a classroom without a real strong foundation under you. So this is my version of Writing University and classes LOL Begin March 1st! I really want to put great work out there, yes, I have talent, but talent is only part of the equation.. ya gotta have the craft down pat!
Also, I love history and the Regency period and I'm going to be working on getting out bi-monthly Historical Articles for my blog Marie's Romantic Quill. Also, I'll be doing the same thing with bi-monthly Writing Craft articles. So essentially every week I'll be researching and posting in one of those to subject areas. In college, I fell in love with research and writing papers and yes I'm a geek and LOVE APA formatting, so that's how I"ll be approaching this History and Writing Craft project!
So these next two weeks will be focused on creating my schedule and here again, March 1st will begin the official posting of these articles!
Here is the second page of my weekly spread, and I've started a dusting schedule on every Thursday. I want to dust my dresser and night stand upstairs in my bedroom and dust both of my desks. I have my computer desk and my beautiful writing desk. I also, want to dust my book shelves. I may have to break these up throughout my day as I suffer severe back pain and fibromyalgia plus chronic nausea due to gastroparesis. However, I really want to strive to get these done every week. God give me the physical strength to endure! Then on Friday's I take the time to chose my stickers that go along with my weekly spread and this coming week, I will cut and put them all in a ziploc bag for on Saturday when I put the spread down and all together. I absolutely LOVE decorating my planner, I wish I'd found this years ago, what fun!
Sunday is my future Mother-In-Law's birthday, we are planning a very special dinner for her and we've got a lovely gift and card for her. We got her a CD (shhhhh can't tell her! ;) of one of her favorite singers. Then Sunday is a day where I rest a lot and do some reading as well as watching Plan With Me Videos, yes, I'm addicted! Oh Yes, of course I'm going to be creating my reading list for March soon. I have SO many books to read and so little time!! But I do have some reviews coming up in March, so I'm dedicated to those books!
One of my FAVORITE things about this spread, si the Typewriter full box. I LOVE it! I miss the days of using a typewriter, that awesome classic tick tick sound! I used a typewriter back in College and gosh back then was when I'd started my first full-length novel. It was about a young new doctor who began resuming piano lessons, she'd taken them as a child, but gave them up in her young adult years in order to focus on med school. Well the young dashingly handsome piano teacher, who is currently finishing up his Doctorate in music, well you can imagine, they both begin to fall madly in love. However, he gets a professorship job in another state and she's at her dream hospital, can their love prevail and will they remain or will their deep passions for their work, overtake the love they have for one another? Perhaps one day, I'll return to that book and finish it. But I remember the long hours in the night clicking away at that typewriter as the words flew across the page. How I'd love to find that story again and see how different my writing style is now from then!
So my friends, lots to come this week! I hope all of you have lots of Happy Planing and a Wonderful Valentine's Day!
