My life as a Planner DWEEB

Since my last blog post one week ago, I have been a busy Planner DWEEB and needless to say, I have been having a blast.  Let's do a little throwback to the DWEEB events of this past week.

My creative planning juices have been gushing out of my head at full stream!!  I have made stickers, used obsessive amounts of washi, stamps, inks and craft papers.  My craft table (my kids used to call it the dining room table) has been a beautiful chaos of planner supplies. It has been total creative planning bliss.





I even shared a looksie of my past traveler's notebook weekly layouts in my insert on my Instagram account.  It was great to look back and see how I have developed as a creative planner.

(Not high techie techie at all so forgive my ignorance for not knowing how to embed the IG video)

But the best part has been setting up my new Carpe Diem (CD for short) planner.  My addiction dealer of choice for this platinum beauty was Michelle McCosh with Everything Scrapbook in Lake Worth.  As soon as I pulled out this CD out of the box,  I just knew that her name would be Marylinn.  Yup, just like the platinum bombshell of the 50s.



Immediately, Marylinn and I set out to give her personality.  Now some would expect 50s glam with a name like Marylinn but her and I knew that she would be total geek chic and that Groot would be a worthy companion for her.  Her first accessory was a DIY dashboard that perfectly slipped into the back notepad slot.  Much more useful for me than the standard notepad it comes with.


Marylinn immediately became BFFs with my traveler's notebook called Ginger and with my Websters pouch.  They love to go on road trips with me and each other.  Together, we will rule the world!




But Marylinn and I have been more than busy giving her "personality".  I've made clips, dividers, bookmarks and form inserts that fit her and only her.  And all with a touch of geek chic!  



(This was me and Groot at Megacon in Orlando earlier this year!)

I was so proud of her look that I made a video.  Make sure to check out Marylinn's setup video on my YouTube channel.


So as you can clearly see, I have been a busy Planner DWEEB just having fun and getting creative with my planner companions.  So from me, Marylinn and Ginger ... thanks for sharing this adventure with us!

So from me to you!  Happy Planner DWEEB days.
Sending you love, Tabby
