I have been adding to my boy's Recipe Planner. 

 He will get this when he moves out.
It will hopefully be filled with lots of his favorite recipes that I have made over the years.  

It is on the me & my BIG ideas blog today if you want to stop over!

November planning - me & my BIG ideas

Hi there!  I am on the me & my BIG ideas blog today,

 asking what do you think of when you think of November??  I think of falling leaves, 

Thanksgiving, and this year, our family trip to see some friends.  I wanted to focus of browns and oranges.  When some of the Rose Gold washi's get paired together with the orange from the Neon collection, they take on a slightly different color.  

It is fun to layer different washi tapes to bring out different styles.  

For  more details on what I used for this month in my planner, details on how it came together and more photos, head to the mambi blog.  

October Planning - mambi

This is this the first year that we are going ALL OUT with activities for Halloween.  We had a date night last week with an 'adults only' haunted house.  I am quite surprised that I survived being chased my a man with a chainsaw.  Anyway, for family fun, we had booked tickets to a trolley ride in Salem, MA (where the witches are)!  We also got tickets for a local park's Screamfest, last night we went to the Rise of The Jack-o-lanterns and Trick or Treat is on Halloween itself this year.  This CRAZY amount of fun requires diligent planning!  My layout looks busy, but there is still plenty of space for more tasks.

I have shared my planning layout on the me & my BIG ideas blog today with links to all the items that I used.  

Pumpkin Carving - Paper Issues

It is that time again where I create a mood board from inspiration on Pinterest.  It is called Pinspire Me Mood Board.  It is so fun.  Draw inspiration from anything in the board and create a project.  Upload it to the PIFF FB page and be entered to win a gift card to the Paper Issues Store.  Win win!  You can see more of the team designs on the BLOG today.  

Every year, we carve pumpkins.  This was our first year carving without our chums.  My friend Kathy seriously should offer carving classes or carve professionally.  Although our carvings are not perfect or exciting, we have so much fun making the mess.  Some of us take it seriously while others pretend to eat it for the camera.  Sigh.

I used Simple Stories Simple Kit for my papers.  A touch of mambi washi and Tim Holtz rub-ons.  I couldn't help but add black gemstones to the spider bodies from Queen & Company.  

Here is a peek at the mood board itself.

September 5-11, 2016 - mambi

Morning and welcome to my first week of September planner spread.  This is a huge week for my son and I.  It is his full week (minus Labor Day) of 6th grade and I have a simple surgery.  I decided to combine the two events in my Happy Planner with motivational words and practical documentation.  

Although my planner looks full, there is plenty of room for additional sticky notes.  I will apply them directly to the top of the base stickers.  Unfortunately, I don't think I will be doing too much towards the end of the week so having the large mambiSTICK is perfect way to decorate the base of my page. 

My to-do list is ever grown and I am running out of time.  I hope you are enjoying your planner as much as I am.  Thank goodness it helps me keep things in order and it looks pretty too!

August 14-21, 2016 - mambi

Ever have one of those weeks where you need to plan to plan?  Time slips away and you have to go back in time to complete the previous week?  That is what happened to me.  I blame it on Jimmy.  Jimmy Buffett that is.  What do you think of when you hear his name?  Sharks, cheeseburgers, parrots?  Sometimes you have to improvise.  I went with flamingos, pineapples, bright colors, glitter and tie dye. 

My husband and I met twenty or so years ago when Jimmy was huge.  Every time I hear him sing, it takes me back to my early 20's.  So did hearing him last week!  

Anyway, here is my planner spread for that week.

September Planning - mambi

August planning - mambi

Obviously I am a theme girl.  Whether it be a color combination or a holiday, I love to coordinate goodies that make me happy.  Today, I started with turquoise and pink and just so happened to add a bit of purple!  (My son's favorite color!)

More details on the me & my BIG ideas blog today!

Purple peace out!
