So I finally found the time to print my own weekly planner as well as get it spiral bound. There are lots of ways you can have this printed and bound. This is how I made mine. It took about 30 minutes to print and I just walked over to the local copy store to get it bound. So all in all it was pretty fast and easy.
I set my personal printer to print. This took about 30 minutes. I printed all my sheets single-sided because I wanted the opposite side of paper to be blank for notes and doodles. You could also glue a photo onto the opposite page for a photo-a-week project in 2010.
You could also print on both sides for all the weekly pages to save on paper.
I printed all my chore sheets single-sided as well because I wanted to trim them down to just each week.
Before Getting the book bound. I trimmed out all the chore sheets and taped each week onto the opposing page with that weekly schedule. Then after the book was spiral bound, I removed the tape. You could also just place a sheet at the beginning of a month or all together at the beginning of the planner. Whatever works easiest for you. I’d love to see how you’ve printed your planner. If you have pictures on your blog please post a link so I can go check them out!
I can’t wait to come out with a 2011 version with lots of new updates and tweeks, especially as I use mine this year, I’m sure I’ll have lots of changes! If you’re interested in purchasing the PDF file to print your own planner, visit my shop at Design House Digital

I’m so excited for Valentine’s day to come. Mostly I’m just excited for the paper and the decorations. You may remember when I posted about my Be-loved Paper. I now have some of it in my grubby little hands and LOVE it. I’m planning a few fun projects and free cutter files, but that probably wont be for another week. But for now I wanted to do a give-away of one full set of my Be-loved papers. That is 9 papers and 1 accessory sheet. The set looks like this:
It can be purchased at most any local scrapbook store. If your local store does not carry this line by My Mind’s Eye. Please ask them to get it in stock. Now is the time because pretty soon it will be too late for them to order in holiday merchandise. I have found that most shops are pretty accommodating and willing to order in pretty much any paper that customers ask for by name!
In the mean time though, I wanted to get this give-away show on the road. So if you want to be entered to win, please post a comment on THIS POST including your favorite thing about this blog! I’m going to pick a winner on Monday the 18th!

After quite a few requests for a more comprehensive planner, I created this 2010 Weekly Planner. Complete with yearly schedule of chores to keep your household organized.
There are 52 Week at a glance sheets that have daily chores, notes, menu, and a shopping list:
The best part of this printable PDF is the yearly chore chart:
Every day of the year is accounted for with all the chores that will keep your household organized and completely managed. Even items like backing up hard drives, filing receipts, scheduling carpet cleaning are all in there. If you can more or less stick to the schedule, your house will look amazing every single day, and you’ll wonder what to do with all your free time!
And that’s not all…the Printable PDF File also includes a Perpetual Birthday Calender so you can keep special dates organized and easy to access all year long.
This planner is a bit bigger than my normal PDFs – 67 pages! So I am selling it for $12.99 at Design House Digital.
Happy organizing!
