Planners: Pretensiously Decorated, Prettily Prized

My Story:

One of the most precious items in my handbag is my Moleskine page/day lined 18-Month Planner. I have always been a planner girl, beginning in high school with a black leather Coach planner before experimenting with FiloFax, Quo Vadis before becoming a faithful Moleskine fanatic.
My collection has since grown to: The Boston book, an 18month 1 page/day planner (have used the 2 page/day that has a notebook page for each day before loved it too), three XL unlined soft-cover cahier journals – one of which I use as a scrapbook and a ruled notebook I use as a list book to organize health and financial goals. I am currently using the 18 month hardcover daily.

Decorating:

I use an acid free glue, Staedtler pens, a black ball point and cut from a variety of fashion/decor/organizing magazines, Real Simple being my favorite.
If I find fun stickers, especially ones that correlate with my life or have some organizational value I snap those up as well.
