As I’m sure many of you know, life with two kiddos under two can be a little crazy!  Add in uploading 1-2 youTube videos and a couple of blog posts each week and it’s very easy to lose track of things.  So in an effort to stay on top of everything I finally started using a planner.

I went to a few different stores and finally found some inserts that I liked.  They are colorful and allow me to fill in the dates myself.  However there was only one binder that fit the inserts and it was gold and black dots which in no way matched the colorful inserts.  So after nearly an hour in the store trying to figure out what to do, I decided to make my own cover.  I considered making a cover with a full spine and everything, but decided to keep it more simple.

The entire project took less than an hour and can be made using any paper or decorations you like.  Plus if you get tired of the cover after a while, it’s easy to make a new one!

Want to see the inserts I’m using?  You can find them HERE.  The rings were found at Dollar Tree in the office supply area.

Now I need to get back to planning what you all will see on Whitney Sews in the weeks to come.  Until then, happy sewing!
