As most of you know I recently celebrated my 100th blog post! To coincide with this I got in touch with a company called Personal Planner about creating my own planner for my blog.
Scrap pieces of paper are no longer (were they ever?) suitable for me scribbling down my blog ideas as well as important appointments so I was on the lookout for a planner. I could find nothing suitable in the shops so I was ecstatic to find out I could design a planner exactly how I want it online.
The process was very user friendly and were many different options for covers and internal layout. The finished planner package arrived after 2 weeks – just as they had predicted.
So here is my final planner:
I chose to have a photo printed that Mr Pixie had taken, it’s of Miss P and Miss E when they were playing fairies in the garden. It’s looks so ethereal doesn’t it. There was even the option to choose the colour of the elastic closure.
I chose this quote that I had seen online for the inside contact page – appropriate for a crafter I think.
For the inside page design I chose green birds. I wanted my planner to start from September 2014, you can choose any month – very handy for those needing a non-conventional diary.
There are several page options available, you can put birthdays reminders and at the bottom of the pages you can put little boxes for notes.
At the very end you can choose pages to go at the back, I selected lined pages and colouring pages (for the big child in me). There is also a little ruler and a see through pocket included for keeping your notes in.
I would recommend Personal Planner to everyone, I’m really pleased with how my planner turned out, just perfect for me and my blog.
So here is some amazing news; the lovely people at Personal Planner have given me to opportunity to hold a giveaway for one of my followers to win a digital voucher to create their own planner/notebook on the Personal Planner website!

I love your blog… Makes me smile every time there’s a new post waiting in my inbox! Keep up the creating 😀 and the personal planner is a great idea. I really need to organise myself somehow 🙂
All planners should have colouring pages. This is clearly where I’ve been going wrong! 🙂
This is a very cool thing! Your planner turned out great! I live in the US and can’t be considered for the giveaway but I’ll envy whoever wins!
The giveaway is now open worldwide so you are now in the draw.
Wonderful!!
I’d love to win this giveaway! I’m a huge stationery fan.
I’ve followed for years as you know so fingers and toes crossed for the win!
Cracking idea. I’m always looking for the best way to be organized and achieve what I need to achieve in a week. The planner looks like just the job
wow that is so fun and beautiful. Now that I have two kids in school I feel that my disorganized ways are going to become a real stumbling block!
This is so wonderful! Even if I don’t win, although I would really like to, I may just save up some money and do this myself! Thanks for sharing!
Reblogged this on Kentucky Mountain Girl News and commented:
KMGN: I had never thought of looking for a place where you could make your own planner to specifications until this post. I am going to check them out. Read the blog to learn more.
Oh, I am also re-blogging so others can read about making their own planner.
wow this is great!
Thank you of sharing. I was excited about the planner and disappointed it was only available in the UK. Will continue to look for something comparable.
The giveaway is now open worldwide!
