Plan with me - August 2024 monthly view
Hi friends ! Come hang out with me as I set up my monthly spread in my planner … I haven’t done much planning this year at all and haven’t filmed it in forever but in an attempt to like my planner more and use it through the need of the year I decided to try to make it pretty again ;)
Let me know your thoughts and if you would like to see more planner related videos … I have already chosen my planner for next year and am already having second guesses 😭🤦♀️😎

Ah! I love this! This was so fun to watch.
Ugh travel delays are the pits!! I’m glad you’re safe though and didn’t end up traveling into the storm. I really liked your thought at the end of the video regarding “writing history books” that’s such a great analogy.
Ye, hello, of course 31 days! 😂 Love that others have sticker ' buckets'. The blue numbers looked great when all done. Fun to see you trying your planner 😊🧡
Hi Allison hope both kids have a great year at college👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 my older brother loves Dolly Parton's💜💗💛💚 going have make the Blueberry muffins with The grandkids they love💜💗💛💚 baking with grandma 👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day 💜💜💜💜
You have inspired me to do a monthly view on the calendar in the front of my hobonochi and it’s been fun and added to the creative process for sure.
I agree!! It's a little peeve of mine, when things don't include 31, for longer months! It is so limiting.
I was staring at that “feet on the ground, head in the clouds” sticker willing you to use it bc it would have been perfect. 😂 canceled flights are the worst!
🤯🤯🤯that’s perfect! Sorry I didn’t hear you !!!
WOW beautiful journals👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much ! Yes it was fun to look back at them and remember the journey . Have a great day!
Hope you would able to go see Axel the next day. Hope both kids have a great year at college. ❤ Great journal session as always!
Thanks! Wasn’t able to leave until Thursday but finally got there! Thanks for watching and for the well wishes! Hope you guys are having a great start to the school year!
One of my favorite quotes for when I run into a delay and get frustrated is, "Sometimes a delay is a blessing.". I might have to repeat it to myself multiple times but it eventually settles me because it is so very true! I was wondering about your trip during Debby's trip up the coast. I feel blessed to live on the east coast but i can't say it isn't nervewrackimg when these storms are predicted, especially since I lost my husband.
We love Tennessee and Portland My husband wants to move there. I work from home so it’s okay with me. He has not pick wish one . We are still working on it .
Oh, wow! I started watching some of your videos from 2020 because I’ve been meaning to go back and watch some and you being away was the right timing but now… I’ll watch both as I’m also in the middle of setting up a new area in my craft room, backing up pictures to an Ext HD and thinking again about starting to post videos on my channel. Hard for me to start posting as I overthink everything and I’m a little on the shy side. I would really like to do it to make some crafty, memory keeping friends. Not so much that I have that much to bring to the channel that’s not already out there. 😂 If that makes sense. Interesting that you bring up 2020 in this video. My son is also class of 2020! Different situation here with the kids in our lives and all they were and still are reverberating from. The after shock and new reality. I’ll say no more here but just wanted to share that we have a son graduating high school in the same year. Have a great week!
Oh no! I didn't realise you'd had that delay to your trip. Ah! The curse of gluing preemptively in your journal! Hahaha. Hope you've had the best time with your kids. ❤
Beautiful pages👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 love all the stencils👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 love and hugs 💜🤗💗🤗you and your family take care have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much! Yes the stencils were a fun challenge … I just never bother with getting them out. Thanks so much for watching and hope you have an amazing day! 🤗
Oh no, how frustrating. 😆 Debbie was a serious storm. Question : would heat remove stickers / card. Great recovery. A fun page / memory.
Thanks so much Yes Debby was a doozy for sure ! Thanks for watching !
Have a great trip Allison!! I look forward to seeing you when you are back. I’m sad that summer is ending, but this will be my last school year before retirement-
Yay!! I’m so glad you decided to take your journal. But did you find time to use it? I hope you’re having heaps of fun
Hope you're getting organized & ready to go on your trip. It's hard to decide. Have a great time & prayers for a safe trip.
Thank you so much! I’ve gotten my journal out twice 🤦♀️why do I never learn 🤷♀️
Lovely journal with so much life in it and captured. Love that sketch girl about wearing shorts. Thank you for sharing your creative journaling and your days. 😊 Big big hug for missing your dad. 💜💜
Thank you so much! Appreciate your feedback and sweet words 🤗
WOW beautiful pages👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 love it💜💗💛💚 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thank you! I always appreciate your kind words ! You too!🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for flipping your perfectly sweet June journal. My heart still aches for you and I cry right along with you, I feel it too friend ❤
Thank you sweet friend I appreciate your compassion and understanding
I have been so busy with August since my mom sold her house and moving to Mexico to retire. I did t or have not done much 😢. I will get ready with September and start so I stay on top of it
Oh yes life can get crazy for sure ! Yes prep a journal and get ready! Sept is around the corner already! 🤦♀️
WOW Allison beautiful journals👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 love it 💜💗💛💚thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much! 😊 I always appreciate your support and hope you are having an amazing day! 🤗👏
Great video👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thank you! You too!🤗🙌☀️
Copy the pages and then cut up the copied pages! Saves the nagazine😊
Oh yes I guess that’s an option also ;) thanks 😊
Love all the stencils! Your June journal is amazing!
Thank you so much! It was a lot but really enjoyed the challenge and working with my supplies !
Great video👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 our youngest son used to work at Texas Roadhouse he was a cook 👍👍👍👍yes they do have good food👍👍👍👍 thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
That's 😎 awesome . Yes the food was super yummy and that bread! 😋
You're doing better than me! Hahah. I journaled almost nothing in June. I just gave up. Hahah. June got away from me. Your journal is just beautiful. I love it. Sending you love always my friend ❤
Aww thanks friend! Yes some days just pass quickly and don’t get documented…. I get it . Hope you are enjoying this cozy season . Always inspired by you!
I'm glad that you had a great school year. We get out in May after we start. Loved the memories about your dad. ❤ Hugs my friend. Great flip through as always!
Thanks so much! WOW May is early for young kids… that means you prob go back earlier also? Hope you are enjoying your summer!
Great job. I understand the sad that goes along with no more soccer. My daughter played from age 5 until 19. She decided not to play in college. I was really disappointed, but her choice. Love your journal. You are so fun to watch & listen to. TFS
Yes.. similar indeed. Their lives have been such a big part of our lives so when they move on we must also…. But looking forward to the next chapter for sure! 🙌🧡
Love this journal, Allison! Thank you for sharing - and I'm so sorry that you still are so sad about your Dad; it's the worst, isn't it. Lovely way of honoring him though, and giggling at the Victoria's Secret bag!! My family always says that humor is our coping mechanism....and thanks for the shout out, so glad you liked your shrimp!!!! xoxo
Thank you so much! Yes humor is very healing and my dad had a wonderful sense of humor ! Thanks again for generously sharing your amazing talent! It’s perfect!
I love this junky junk journal! You always have fun bits to put in. Did you finish the challenge?
Thanks so much - yes that journal was a chunk of love ! No I didn’t complete the challenge 🤦♀️
I think the journal harvest idea is brilliant. You asked what we do with unused journal pages… I don’t think I have any like this. I tend to make a whole page at a time, in other words, I don’t really prep pages ahead of time… but if I did i would definitely pepper those pages through out a daily journal.
Thanks … ya I was playing with designs and paint and never added to them so seems like I’d use them better this way ;) we will see 🤗
Wrote the other comment before I got to your emotions about your Dad. Thank you for being vulnerable with us. Sending you strength on your grief journey. It’s long, isn’t it? ❤
Thank you so much for understanding. Grief is something we all experience and will forever be a part of me so I am learning to allow it to come when it needs.
Hate wasps but the would love to make a bee journal one day. I know we’ve talked about that in the past. On the big to do list….😊-- Melissa.
No for real… the to do list 😭🙌🐝
Hi Allison love💜💗💛💚 watching your video👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 beautiful pages👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much! Cant believe how fast this year is going! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day! 👏🙌💗
This was fun to watch you go through your old journals but couldn't believe you actually ripped the pages out of them. Love the two journals you made. You are so good at matching pages. I love the front covers on each if you leave them as such!! TFS
Thanks so much! Yes it’s hard for me but I was clear I would never go back and use them so thought it was worth a shot! I do like the new journals and hope to put them to good use ! Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Fun journal. Love watching you stumble through your journaling but it turns out cool!!! TFS
Thank you so much!yes it’s sometimes a process to actually get started but I enjoy when I complete the pages 🤗
Recycling ♻️ the recycling ♻️!!!😁
🙌👏🌱♻️
Thanks for sharing, Allison - it was so fun to see your old journals (and scary to see you rip the pages out!!!) I adore the two little journals you put together; made me wanna dig out my paint! xo
Aww thanks for watching and yes it was a bit hard to tip them up but felt good to create a new space that will be used 🙌thanks for watching 🤗hope you are well 🧡
Oh so fun Allison! I think this is a fun idea!
Thanks! I feel good that the pages will now ( hopefully) be used …🙌thanks for watching and have a great day! 🤗
I think what you're doing is smart. I bet we all have a lot of unused pages in our journals. I know I do because I love starting new journals . I think one of them should be a new art journal and you should give us prompts for a month. You asked.😊
Thanks for watching ! What fun idea… let me think 🤔 that might be fun !
I did this a few years back and it reduced a lot of clutter from unfinished pages and created a lot of new beautiful pieces/journals ❤️
Yay!! That’s what I’m hoping ! 🙌
I think you are at the beginning of a fun journal. The pages would be a great background for photos. Maybe of you doing art with kids
Thanks 🤗 and yes totally fun for backgrounds!!! 🙌
That journal is beautiful. Could you use it for a current daily journal? It’s the journal that didn’t have any writing. I didn’t watch till the end before i commented. I love the journal you made!
Thanks and yes maybe …. 🤔 have a great day 🤗
WOW beautiful happy👍👍👍👍🌼💐🌷🌺🌻🌹🌸🦋🦋🦋🦋 mail 📬📬📬📬thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗 have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
Yes it was wonderful and will be out to good use! Have a great day! 🤗

I have to say, I admire you for trying so hard to make the sticker basket work. I just don’t think I could do it. Mine are in a basket, but they stand up instead of lay down. Just seems so much easier to me to flip through. I hope you are having a really great time on your vacation. Thank you for leaving us with videos so we don’t miss you too much.😊😊
Haha that’s funny ! You are one of the people I know that uses baskets 🤗😖🤦♀️ I’m trying it - at least they lay flat and don’t all sink to the bottom of the folder 🤷♀️ what really need is to get rid of things and destash like you did!
