DIY - Organise!

An "I Love Stationery" Blog Post
Picture
I have the very lovely Tracey Livesay on the blog today - talking about her love for all things stationery! Take it away Tracey...
I love stationery.
 
Guess that’s nothing new. A writer who loves stationery. Big whoop. That’s like announcing cops like donuts or judges like early tee times.
It’s not exactly breaking news.
 
But that doesn’t make it any less true. I love post-its and note cards. Legal pads and note pads. Spiral notebooks and journals. If it has paper and it’s bound, I’m all over it. 
 
Recently, with the release and promotion of my debut novel, The Tycoon’s Socialite Bride, and trying to keep up with my family, I realized I needed better help with organization. My digital organizers weren’t cutting it; I needed my old friends pen and paper. I went on Amazon and looked at the daily planners, but they were all so… plain. I was reading reviews on one
planner and I saw “DIY.”
 
Was it possible?
 
I could make my own daily planner?!
 
Heart pounding, I typed “DIY daily planner” into Google and smiled in bliss at the list of blogs and articles that appeared on my screen. I do not exaggerate when I say I spent hours looking at the articles, reading reviews, weighing the pros and cons until I found exactly what I was looking for on the I Heart Organizing blog. It was perfect. It was colorful, inclusive, organized… and expensive. Between the binder and accessories and the custom print out pages, it was going to cost more than a regular daily planner. But
like I am with my purses (Have I mentioned my purse addiction? No. Okay, good.) when the right one calls to me, price isn’t an object.

What do you think? Do you use a daily planner? Paper or digital? What do you like best about it?

A  big hug and thank you to Eve, for hosting me today.

Blurb:  To avenge his mother’s mistreatment at the hands of her upper-crust employer, self-made real estate tycoon Marcus Pearson needs
entree into their exclusive world. When D.C. socialite Pamela Harrington comes to him for help, Marcus realizes the golden admission ticket he’s been seeking has suddenly fallen into his lap.

Pamela will do anything to save her favorite
cause, even agree to a marriage of convenience. The altruistic “it-girl” isn’t worried about the pretend passion with Marcus turning real; she’s sworn off powerful, driven men who use her for her family’s connections.

So  she’ll deny the way her pulse races with one look from his crystalline blue eyes. And he’ll ignore the way his body throbs with each kiss from her full lips. Because there’s no way he’ll lose his blue-collar heart to the blue-blooded beauty.

Tracey, thank you so much for being on here today. LOL - on the needing pen and paper. Sometimes all the technology in the world and you just need the act of writing it down and seeing it in front of you to remember. This planner looks so gorgeous - I think I might need to do one :)

Thanks for having me, Eve. :-) I feel like I'm a tech girl; I have all the gadgets and my hubby is all about tech. But there's something about writing it down that imprints itself on my brain in a way that thumbing it into my phone doesn't.
And I can't say enough nice things about the planner. It's so pretty and colorful. The one thing I would change is I'd prefer a more colorful binder, but my Staples didn't have one available.
