Hi everyone! This is my last blog for PopFizzPaper for the 2016 year and I am going to show you a Plan With Me using the PopFizzPaper Charming Horizontal kit for this last week of December in my Erin Condren vertical.

I kind of wished I did a video because it would have made this Plan With Me a little more easier and fun but you all are going to get a detailed description of how my process works. Yes, it'll be a little long but it's a great read; I promise. Everyone plans differently and I noticed my first steps are always the same every week that I plan even if in my mind I want to try a different process. What you're going to need is all your planning supplies; I am going to be using the Charming kit stickers from PopFizzPaper, an exacto knife, and some glitter washi tape from the PopFizzPaper shop.

I always start with my washi whether I am using washi tape or bottom washi stickers that come in the kits. Since I am using a horizontal kit I decided not to cut that bottom washi that comes in the kit instead I wanted to use these blue and gold glitter washi tapes that I got from the PopFizzPaper shop. After I placed down my bottom washi, I grab my exacto knife and trimmed the corners of the washi so that it's even with the weekly boxes above it. I added my "Today" headers to the top boxes. Next, I like to do my side bar. This section varies from week-to-week depending on what's going on. I start the side bar by adding a deco full box sticker to the top left corner of that left page to cover up the "Thankful Thoughts" box. 98% of the time I do not cover the Erin Condren flag that comes on the page because it usually matches the kit I use and I just think it's cute so I let it be. This week I added my "To Go", "Next Week", and "Habits" headers with a weekly checklist full box or weekly strip with a couple of habit icons next to it so that way I know what I'm tracking for the week in this case it'll be workouts and cooked meals.

After my side bar is done I fill in the week... I start with Monday and work my way to the weekend. I always fold my planner in half when I do the first half of my week because I flip the planner in many directions when I place stickers down because certain angles help me place down my stickers more evenly and precise. Personally, if I didn't do this some stickers would come out crooked.

Starting with Monday my "Today" section is for any bills due or for important things that have to for sure get done while my "To Do" section is for things I "want" to get done that if I don't I can just do it the next day. First section, I added two small flags with an icon, and a bill due sticker. Middle section I added a "To Do" header with a flagged half box with an icon, a blank pastel green header, a deco full box, and another flagged half box. Tuesday- I added a "Not Today" sticker [usually if one of these stickers appears it means I want a lazy day], a flagged half box with an icon, a blank pastel green header below that, a deco full box, a "To Do" header, and a PFP CT blog full box checklist. Wednesday- looks busy especially since Tuesday has that "lazy day" sticker on it. I added from top to bottom a "Payday" sticker, two full box checklists, a blank pastel green header, and a deco full box with a flagged half box ontop of that. First half of the week stickers are DONE!

Now onto the second half of the week. I add my glitter washi tapes to the bottom and trimmed the sides with my exacto knife. Placed "Today" headers at the top boxes of Thursday and Friday only. I like to add a weekend banner to the top of Saturday and Sunday boxes instead of "Today" headers. Since this kit is again a horizontal kit the weekend banner in the kit is vertical so instead I used a glitter "Weekend" banner from PopFizzPaper. I added yellow pastel blank headers to the top of the weekend boxes and placed my "Weekend" banner on top of them. Next, I flipped my planner on the side because it's easier for me to place down my checklists more precisely. I used two mini checklist flags and I separated the two with a thin deco washi strip because I plan to use one section for cleaning to do's and the other for calls I need to make.

Then I continued filling in the rest of my end of the week. Middle box of Thursday I added a "To Do" header, a full box checklist, a PFP CT half box checklist, a deco washi strip, and a half checklist box with a TV icon because those bottom checklists are for shows I plan to watch or catch up on. Friday, I placed down two checklist full boxes and separeted them with a "To Do" header. I also placed a "Friyay" banner sticker right below my "Today" header. I added my PFP CT half box checklist, a deco full box, and a half checklist with a TV icon for my shows. Saturday starts with a deco washi strip, a CT reminder, a "To Do" header, left some white space in case something important comes up, a flagged half box with a paw print icon, a blank pastel green header, another flagged half box with an icon, and lastly a half box checklist for TV shows. It's New Year's Eve nothing too exciting is planned as of right now other than celebrating the new year probably at home with my little family and some fun noise makers and decorations but this plan could change! Lastly, is Sunday; the 1st of 2017! Can you believe we are going into the year 2017!? It's so crazy. Okay, so again it's the first which means bills are due! So as you can see I have "Bill Due" stickers, a "To Do" header, a flagged sticker with a dollar sign icon, a deco full box, a blank pastel green header, left some white space for extra planning, and a flagged half box with a football sticker because the Packers play in the evening.

Everything is placed down for this week and my final touches are to add some decorative stickers from the kit onto the bottom washi and to the top of the week above the dates as well as any other little PopFizzPaper stickers from my collection that need to remind me of something for the week. I decided since this week the Erin Condren colors matched this kit I didn't add any date covers just some small decorative heart sticker to the top for extra cuteness. I also like to add above the dates some icons of the most important things happening for that day whether it's a bill due, a birthday, happy mail, dollar signs to remind me to pays bills, etc. I need the extra reminding some times in case laziness kicks in.

Last but not least is to grab a pen to fill in the details of what's going on. I went ahead and penned in my plans for the week and as you can see not everything is completely filled in because I'll fill more in when that particular day comes.

I hope I was detailed enough in this "readable" Plan With Me for you to try out my planning process.

Let's grab our supplies and get started with our journaling. I choose to journal for the holiday week of Thanksgiving. I was traveling this entire week so I didn't have anything to plan out that week since everything I did was just spur of the moment since I was on vacation. All you need is basically a notebook or even a sheet of paper folded in half; you don't need to go out to buy any thing for this. You will also need monthly PopFizzPaper journal prompts sticker sheet(s), decorative stickers if you please, days of the week and date stickers [optional] you can totally write the days in as well, a pen and some cute washi tape.

If you already use PopFizzPaper journal prompts we would love to see how you journal so come inspire us by tagging @popfizzpaper on Instagram and come show us all in the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group.

What do you do with your left over design paper? Don't throw it away! I've got a cute little DIY for you that you can do in a matter of minutes. Grab your left over PopFizzPaper design paper from your planner kits, any scrap paper, or construction paper don't worry about the size whether it's an 8x7 or 12x12 or even smaller because...

I'm going to show you how to make a folder with two pockets out that paper. This little folder will be perfect to put stickers in and mail to your friends, hole punch and add to your planner, or use it to store stickers or sticky notes for on-the-go. The possibilities are endless!

Materials you will need are:

Design Paper, Scrap Paper, or Construction Paper

A ruler, adhesive tape or glue, and a pair of scissors

Decorative items such as washi, embellishments, stickers, die-cuts, etc.

First, you will need to decide what size of folder you want. I am going to be making mini folders that will end up being about 3 in x 6 in . I started with about an 8 in x 8 in sheet of paper. Measure with a ruler or use a paper cutter to cut down your sheet if you want feel free to start with a 12 in x 12 in paper or an 8 in x 11 in sheet.

Once you have your sheet fold it in half from right to left, then fold it inside out [both ways] so that you are making a deep crease down the center because you'll be needing one of the folds for later on.

Next, fold the bottom part upward about 4 to 5 inches. Whatever your size of your sheet is you want your bottom part to fold upward about half the height of your paper because that part is going to be your pockets and you want to make sure you have enough height to put items in securely once the sides are glued down.

Lay your paper flat after you've made your folds. Grab your ruler and place it on the right side of your paper and you are going to measure 1/2 inch and fold at the 1/2 inch mark. Do the same thing to the other side.

The bottom part that is going to be folded up you are going to need your scissors to cut a small incision. [See photo below where to cut] You're basically going to be cutting a 1/2 rectangular off the bottom sides so that the bottom sides don't over lap onto the pocket because it's going to make those bottom corners thicker which in my photo I kind of forgot to do that so I want to make I informed you about that before you do the same thing. It's totally fine if you do forget this step the bottom sides will just be thicker and you'll have to add some extra glue to hold that thickness together.

Now we are going to make the pockets. So, fold your paper in half from right to left again and in the middle part start at about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom and cut upward to the fold part of your pocket line. Put your scissors down and fold the bottom part up; you should have two pockets that are the same size!

And, it's time to glue the sides down so make sure you're using a stronger glue or adhesive tape because you don't want the sides to peel up. There you go; you have your folder!

You can stop here if you want to keep your folder simple or if you're like me and like to decorate things then grab those craft items you have next to you and craft away!

I added some washi to the bottom corner, some puffy heart stickers, and in the center I just got a piece of gold sheer design paper and cut it into a small square; added die-cut feathers to the corners and alpha stickers in the center. That's it go ahead an add your goodies to the inside of your new folder!  

If you made one of these folders, we want to see it! Tag @popfizzpaper on Instagram or come show us in the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group.

Hey everyone, Sabrina here! How many of you are horizontal planners? And, how many of you are like me and have wondered if vertical stickers fit into the horizontal planners? Raise those hands up high. Well, guess what... they do indeed fit with just a little tweaking. Today’s blog, I am showing you all how you can use a vertical weekly kit in a horizontal planner!

Let’s get planning! All you need for this is a fresh week, any vertical weekly kit of your choice, a pen and of course your planner! If you are planning with Erin Condren sheets in a Kikki.K like myself, you’ll need a hole punch to just re-punch those holes you covered up with a sticker.

I am planning ahead and using the Merry and Bright full weekly kit from PopFizzPaper for the end of November/ early December. The blue and green colors in the Erin Condren colored horizontal didn’t match with this kit’s colors so I am going to be using a week from October and turning it into a different month by covering the month and dates with stickers to use it for any week I want. Then I did the left side by adding date covers and dates, a quote to the top left, a November month of the year sticker, and a decorative sticker.

I went ahead and finished covering up my October with another quote, added a December monthly sticker, and used the rest of my date covers and dates. I then placed all my decorative full boxes to the right side. I liked using the entire sticker even if it did overlap a bit but you can totally trim the top and bottom of to fit that space more precise. I got my weekend sticker down, added my payday and bill dues, another quote, and a weekly full box to the bottom notes section. As you can see, everything is fitting nicely for being a vertical kit in a horizontal layout.

Now that I kind of got the hang of placement and the imagery in my mind of where I plan to place the rest of my stickers I went ahead and just had some fun placing everything down. For me the middle section is for all my to-do’s, the right side on the decorative full boxes is for my work schedule/ anything important that has a deadline, and the left side is more to-do’s or things that I would like to do that day.

That’s it! I think it turned out super cute I cannot wait until the end of November to finish filling in this week. This kit is a perfect transition into the next holiday season. Whether you try out using a vertical kit in a horizontal spread or you use one of PopFizzPaper’s new horizontal kits we want to see it! Come share it with us over at the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group or tag @PopFizzPaper on Instagram!

One of the first crafts I ever did and mailed out was a pocket letter. After creating my first one, I was instantly hooked. I absolutely love pocket letters; to create them and to send them! So today's blog I am going to be showing you all how I create a pocket letter using the November "Colors of the Wind" Planner Kit from PopFizzPaper.

Let's just jump right into this fun activity! Below are materials that you are going to need for a full 9-pocket letter.

1-3 sheets- cardstock or design paper

1- 8.5 x 11 postbound or 3-ring album pocket protector sheet [I use The Paper Studio]

scissors, pen, glue or adhesive tape, ruler or a pre-cut pocket letter square measuring 2.5 x 3.5

Decor: stickers, sticky notes, sequins, empheria [cut outs], washi tape, etc. [Whatever you want to put into your pocket letter]

What I do first is I cut out all 9 of my squares; I used the PopFizzPaper "Colors of the Wind" design sheets. Either grab your pre-cut pocket letter square that measures 2.5 x 3.5 and trace that square over your design paper OR if you don't have a pre-cut square use your ruler to measure 2.5 x 3.5 and do that 9 times on your papers so that you end up with 9 squares.

Tip: I always put the squares into the pocket protector sleeve before I go onto the next step to make sure that it fits properly and that I didn't cut the sides too short or in case it doesn't fit and needs be trimmed down. I also use this as a pre-planning method to be able to see where I want each square to go and what I plan to do for that specific pocket.

Now the FUN and also my favorite part... Decorating! Choose your theme: I obviously went with the nature / travel theme. I love shaker pockets; I think that they are so fun and super cute. So I always start with my center pocket and 99% of the time I create a shaker pocket. I basically just threw in some sequins that matched with my card for that pocket and took a piece of washi tape to seal the top part so that no sequins would fall out. Once that was done, I start from the top left corner and work my way to the right and then onto the next row until I get to the bottom. I also really like simple yet detailed decorating but feel free to get as creative as you like.

Pocket Details:

First pocket; I added onto my gold square a PopFizzPaper sticky note as my background and PFP watercolor washi along the left side with an puffy heart sticker, a globe cut out, and an arrow cut out.

Second pocket; I cut a piece of arrow design paper to create a pocket that I filled with PopFizzPaper deco stickers and feather cut outs and at the top added a "Happiness" cut out.

Third pocket; is a movitational pocket with "Follow YOUR Arrow" using gold glitter alpha letters, a gold puffy heart sticker, arrow cut out, and PopFizzPaper feather stickers.

Fourth pocket; I added a piece of blue glitter washi to the bottom and a "and, we're off!" sticker ontop of the washi, a sun sticker and an airplane cut out.

Fifth pocket; is my shaker pocket.

Sixth pocket; is my hello pocket with a gift tag, a "hi" corkboard sticker, a PopFizzPaper feather and it's all in a little pocket that I made using a piece of design paper.

Seventh pocket; is another motivational pocket with a gold puffy heart sticker, PopFizzPaper feather stickers, puffy arrow stickers, and "Faith, Hope, Love" in gold glitter alpha stickers.

Eighth pocket; I did a washi banner at the top of the square, a piece of gold glitter washi at the bottom and with PopFizzPaper feather stickers ontop and in the middle a PFP "Colors of the Wind" sticker.

Ninth and final pocket; I did the same idea as the first pocket where I stuck a sticky note down as my background, a washi strip on the left side of the pocket, a gold puffy heart sticker, a PopFizzPaper quote sticker from the "Colors of the Wind" kit, and a cork arrow sticker that I added gold feather washi onto the bottom on the arrow for a little more dimension.

Lastly, I went through my collection to see if I may have missed any items that I wanted to have in this pocket letter and just stuck those last minute items in the pockets. And, that's it! It's not a hard craft at all. I absolutely love how this pocket letter turned out and I hope you do too!

Now you know how to create a pocket letter if you didn't already. And, if you do create one we want to see it! So, make sure you tag @popfizzpaper both on Instagram and on our Facebook group- PopFizzPaper Fans!

Today’s blog is all about using stickers on your hourly inserts for your personal planner(s). Personal planner inserts in my opinion are really small pages so you can’t write big or have too large of stickers on it because it’ll take up a vast majority of your space which will look cluttered. What allows me to be able to use stickers on such a small space is using mini stickers along with a few regular sized functional stickers. I don’t use full boxes and only half boxes when I have something important and I have the space for it. Using hourly inserts you have consider what will fit and what you need to use for that specific day because you're scheduling your day by the hour.

First, go through your collection and grab all  your minis and functional stickers. I know I took out a lot of stickers in the above photo and I may not use them all but for me it’s convenient to have them all out anyways so I’m not having to go back and forth in my collection trying to find stickers. Now that you have your stickers all out it’s time for the FUN part … can you guess what that is? Decorating time!  

Placement is key; it’s very important that you look you at your sheet and decided first what you’re doing for that day and grab those functional stickers first before anything else. So in my planner I like to have a horizontal “This Week” insert on my left side and my right side have my hourly sheet. You’re probably looking at my photo thinking “Girl, I thought this was a post about hourly planning.” It is … I promise! I do this for extra space and because I like to see what else I have going on during the week. Plus, my hourly sheet stops at 9:30 PM [like most do] which is early for me because I’m a night owl and I don’t go to sleep until really late in the AM so I need an extra sheet so I can write down what other things I have to do later in the evening. You can even place a lined paper or graph paper on the left side if you want or just have your hourly insert it’s totally up to you and your planning style.

On a typical work day my schedule may look something like the photo above. Early mornings for work I need a “wake me up” sticker so this PopFizzPaper “Treat Yourself” mug will always be the first sticker to start my day. Next to it I'll add what I'm doing while I'm having my morning drink. I use a header sticker to block out the times I’ll be working so in this example it’s from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm; yay for short days! If your schedule is longer stick another header right below the one you just laid down. I put my header to the far right because that day I have a meeting so I need the space to write in next to the time it’s happening. If there is no meeting or nothing else important that needs to be submitted or attended, I’ll then add the header down the middle. I continued plugging in more stickers next to the times that I need to do something until I got to the bottom. Check it out even label stickers fit on either column; awesome right! I love those labels with the boots on them to mark for when I go rock climbing or even just to take my dogs to the dog park. On the left side column on the top; I use stickers to remind me of things I NEED “To Do” like using the “Hair Appt” to remind me to make an appointment and on the bottom half I like to add a fun journal prompt question [in the middle] and try to find a sticker that matches my answer just for fun. As well as things that I NEED to do later that evening after 9:30 PM like using that dollar sign to remind me to pay a bill and that “change air filter”. On my horizontal “This Week” sheet I add whatever else doesn’t fit on my hourly sheet basically anything else after 9:30 PM that I want or need to do like using that bath tub sticker and TV sticker. 

Now that I have all my stickers down I’m able to go in and write things down. The reason I don’t write things down before I place my stickers is in case I decided I need to swap a sticker around or I just change my mind and I don’t want a particular sticker it’s easier to remove a sticker and replace it with another one or remove it all together than it is to correct your writing mistakes. You don’t want a bunch of white-out on your paper, do you? I know I don’t. The above photo I placed all my stickers down and I filled it all in. I’m all done planning just need to stick these inserts back into my planner.

See you can do this too to your personal sized hourly inserts! So, get to planning and once you’re finished we want to see how cute your page came out so make sure you show us by tagging PopFizzPaper on Instagram and come post it on the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group so we can all heart it.     

Tell me I am not the only person out there that uses an actual wireless optical mouse for my computer instead of the built in mouse pad attached to the computer? I guess I’m old school because my little Logitech optical mouse is my favorite because I just don’t like the flat built in mouse pads that come on the computers. Plus, there are so many cute mouse pads out there that just add cuteness to your desk area.

So why am I talking about computer mouse pads? Well today, I am going to show you a really quick DIY mousepad using some items from the October PopFizzPaper Planner Kit. How quick you may be wondering? Like 5 minutes’ tops! Let’s jump right into this DIY project and make a cute mouse pad for our desk.

Supplies you will need:

• 1- Cork board or cork tile [you can also just use a piece of wood, thick cardboard or thick cardstock]
• 1-2 sheets of design paper
• 1-2 sheets of a clear pocket protectors
• 1 foam brush
• Mod Podge
• Pen or marker
• Paper cutter or a pair of scissors

Intentionally my goal was to make a cute heart-shaped mouse pad however I went to 4 different stores and couldn’t find a large cork sheet I only found actual framed cork boards. Finally, I decided to check one last store, Office Depot. They did have the large sheet I was looking for but they had these cute, squared cork wall tiles that were 6” x 6” my first thought in my mind was “this size is perfect!” I have a small desk so realistically I couldn’t have a large mouse pad anyways. I grabbed the 4-pack of 6”x 6” cork wall tiles for $5.99 and I figured I could either make wall décor or make 3 other different mouse pads that I could swap out throughout the year with the extra 3 tiles.

Ok, I rambled enough … first thing you are going to do is decide the shape of the mousepad that you want. If you have a large sheet [of cork] then cut out the shape you want. I took my pre-cut, ready-to-go cork tile and placed it onto my design paper and just traced that way the paper will be the same size as the tile. Then grab your clear sheet… you can go out and find a thicker, clear plastic sheet to go onto of your design paper so that it glides over the mousepad better OR you can a clear binder protector sheet. You know the pocket sleeves that most of us use to store our stickers in in mini binders; those work just fine and they are inexpensive. Put the tile onto the sleeve and trace also.

Next grab your paper cutter or scissors and cut the lines that you traced with the pen on both the design paper and pocket protector sleeve. Don’t worry if there is excess on the sides because after you glue everything together you’ll be cutting all excess off anyways.



Take your foam brush and add some mod podge onto it and put it all over the top of the cork tile. Place the design paper right on top of the cork and smooth out any bubbles or bumps.

Add a thin layer of mod podge on top of the design paper and place the pocket sleeve on top. Smooth out any imperfections and place something heavy on top of the mouse pad until everything dries.
*This is optional: but I added the exclusive PopFizzPaper Beauty Babe washi along the sides of the tile so I didn’t see any cork and honestly this black and white stripes washi looks so cute paired with the Beauty Babe rose design paper I chose to use. LOVE!

So that is it! Told you this would be quick! Now, grab your mousepad put your mouse on top and start using. You just made a cute DIY mousepad that cost you less than $5-$10 to make [depending on how much supplies you already had]. So how many of you students and planner girls are going to try this fun DIY?

PopFizzPaper was one of the first orders that I ever placed and I have been obsessed with PopFizzPaper stickers ever since. In this blog, I am going to be showing you all my Top 5 PopFizzPaper stickers! This was actually not that hard even though I love all of the PFP stickers 4 out of the 5 I will be showing you have been my absolute favorites since my first order that included #1-4. And, here they are my top 5….

1. Social Media Tear Drops – Instagram

2. Footballs

3. Bill Dues- candy color and brights are my favorites

4. Small Birthday Circles

5. Appointment Labels- Brights and Neutrals

I wanted to show you up close how I use my favorites. My number 6 favorite would definitely be the half boxes because I like the way these icons look inside of the boxes. I usually stick a Happy Birthday inside of a half box or on the left side of an appointment label just so I can be able to write down whose birthday it is. Same thing with the football stickers I stick them on the left side of a half box and right in the game and time.

Appointment labels I like to use them at the bottom of my checklists for anything important and I’ve been using them a lot to keep track of my blog schedule on my monthly calender it just gives the calander a more cleaner and organized look. By usuing a sticker it just makes preplanning in my monthly calender a little easier because I can just remove the sticker and replace it with a new appointment label. If you're a student like me try using the appointment labels for scheduling due dates for assignments or even upcoming quizzes and tests.

Here is a before the pen using the Midnight Galaxy kit and my top 5 favorites. You can see I have a birthday and football stickers both in half boxes, Instagram tear drop icons for the days I plan to post photos on Instagram, there is an appointment label which I plan to use for what assignment I have due for that day, and there is also a bill due because this week was the week of the 1^st and rent is always due on the 1^st for me. That’s it these are my top 5 and how I use them!

Hey everyone, Sabrina here! Here to show you a quick, easy and fun way to create your own framed calendar. I don’t know about you all but during the fall my bod definitely is in a hibernation mode; hiding that food I’ve been storing from holidays or special events all the way until middle of next spring.

As a personal goal for myself I decided to start eating healthy and working out again. Because if I let myself I could eat pizza every day which is not good. So what better way than to start at the beginning of fall instead of waiting until a month or two before summer. Yes, I am one of those people who do that because I love all the delicious foods that come with the fall season. But not this time this calendar is going to help me focus!

I am going to show you how to create a calendar for… you guessed it; a workout schedule! Enough babbling let’s jump right into this…

So here are some supplies you will need:

1. A picture frame
2. A blank printable calendar
3. Washi tape
4. Stickers
5. Dry erasable markers
6. Optional: Tape runner or glue

First off, put aside your picture frame and dry easers all you need to begin is your blank calendar and some stickers. You can create your own calendar in word or excel or you can print one off the internet. In my printable collection I had a blank Day Designer calendar that I printed months ago so I’m just going to use that. I grabbed my PopFizzPaper sticker collection and pulled out some days of the week stickers, a month of the year sticker, lots of icons and some summer vibes quotes.

Start by sticking down your days of the week. Next is optional but it’s to grab some washi and decorate around the calendar. I ended up putting down my “August” month of the year sticker first before my washi and guess what… when I peeled it off I wasn’t careful so I ripped it a little. No worries though; no need to waste the sticker just grab a tape runner, put some tape on the back and you’re good to continue! If you make a mistake with a sticker gently and patiently peel it up don’t be like me and just rip it off like Band-Aid. Once you’ve gotten your washi down, either write at the top the month or use a sticker like me. Next is grab those workout icons and start pre planning your week [or entire month.]

For fun, I made each week a different color. I always end up having left over icons from my weekly kits so those are the icons that I am using in case you’re wondering why the sizing of some icons are smaller than others. Since my calendar boxes are small I could only fit one icon inside; I originally want to do two icons one related to work out and another for meals but I figured that would just be too cluttered. I actually like having this calendar just for my exercises that I plan to do for the week. I used 3 different icons:

• The shoe is for the type of exercise I plan to do that day

• The dumbbell is for cardio/ gym [if I decided to go to a gym]

• The scale is for weigh in to check how I am doing; which is a personal preference

Now that I have placed all my icons on the week days that I plan to work out I went ahead and just added a few motivational and fun quotes. Along with a couple of emoji stickers and since it’s Olympics month I’ve add a couple of Olympic symbols for extra motivation. I will be out of town one weekend this month so that little road sticker reminds me that even though I will be out of town to get that work out in and more in likely I will set a reminder alarm to get my workout in. When all your stickers are set in the perfect place you want them to be, grab a pen and write in the number of the day or feel free to use a sticker if you have the space. Once the decoration process is complete its time to place it into the picture frame.

You may have to cut down the sides if need be but make sure when you place it into the frame it’s exactly how you want it be because remember you’re going to be writing on the glass of the frame itself so line it up good and give yourself enough writing space on the sides. Now that your calendar is in the frame you’re ready to grab your dry easer marker and start filling in your week [or month.] Since I like to switch it up with different exercises I ended up categorizing what I plan to do for that specific day. Example: Mondays are leg days, Tuesdays are arm days, Wednesday is abs, Friday is cardio, etc. I also like to have at least one or two rest days a week depending on how hard I work myself. But you do you! Because you are writing on the glass you can remove, add or switch any of your work outs. Awesome, right? Well, that’s it! Go ahead and place it up on the wall behind your desk or stand it up on your desk.

I hope you enjoyed this cute idea feel free to use this for anything else like a meal plan calendar, work schedule, school schedule or for events; this idea works for all.
