Daydreamer

Here's to those who choose to dream in the daylight.

I love to get caught up in the beauty of this world and

magic of creation. Today I was reminded of my Father's

love and with that came the inspiration of a lifetime.

I hope inspiring thoughts come flooding in all the day long.

Be blessed lovelies. Melisa

DIY Summer Planner

I know you all were expecting this last night, but

time just got away from me {tsk tsk} please forgive

me. Now i'm here to show you a very easy and cute

DIY summer planner. I don't know about you, but

I love to plan and I love to make things so this is

just perfect. And plus a homemade calendar beats

out all those silly ones you can buy at the mall.

agreed? Okay, lets begin!

You will need:

colored cardstock

white printing paper {approx. 20 sheets}

scissors

a hole punch

pen or marker {I used a sharpie pen cause they're the best}

yarn or ribbon

colored tape {optional}

Step One:

Punch holes through the top of all your paper.

I did four holes.

Step Two:

Draw in your calendar months. I just did June through

August, but you can do all 12 if you want!

Step Three:

Draw in your calendar weeks. There are many ways to

do this. I chose to do two weeks on each page, side by side.

Step Four:

In between every week I placed a blank sheet of

paper for my to do lists:) I like them and I thought it would

be handy to include them. This is optional.

Step Five:

To make the back of your planner, cut out an interesting

border {you can get as creative as you'd like} and tape it

along the bottom edge of the back sheet of paper. If you'd

rather just use your piece of cardstock by itself that works

just as well. This is just a nice little decoration:)

Step Six:

Decorate your cover! I just put a strip of my fancy tape

and wrote Summer 2010. I'm a simple girl.

Step Seven:

Cut four strips of yarn {or ribbon}

and loop them through the top holes that we punched in

earlier. This will keep all your sheets together.

note: be sure to leave your loops wide enough so that

when you turn the pages they won't be too snug.

And voila! Your summer planner is complete. Enjoy:)
