Erin Condren Update and Address Book!

Hello! I just wanted to update you that this has remained my current  basic layout in my Erin Condren Life Planner. Still finding my way but also still very much enjoying my planner.

Another item I wanted to share was my address book also by Erin Condren.

I chose to go with an alphabet initial cover but there are many other options to choose from. I love than this is the same size as the life planner. You'll notice that it also came with a ruler.

Just inside the address book is a perpetual calendar for special dates, I choose to use this section strictly for Anniversaries.

I love how each tabbed alphabet section features the letter all over the page and a quote on the opposite side.

Inside there is plenty of space to add all your contact info for your family and friends.

For the couples on my list, and there are many. I simply put their initial by the birthday portion so I could add both their special days.

In the back of the address book you have a folder pocket which I have placed my travel perpetual calendar from my life planner. Here I have written only birthdays for all my family and friends.

This may seem somewhat redundant however this way if you're not sure when a birthday is you can simply look that person up by name in the address book. Then if you just want to know who's birthday's are coming up in the next month you can just flip to the right month in the perpetual calendar.

 I am a huge fan of a hard copy of all this important info as I have heard of people losing their phones*knock wood* or they become damaged beyond repair*knock wood again* and you are unable to retrieve the info.  But most importantly I enjoy sitting down during the holiday's and filling out my holiday cards without having to constantly look at and refer to my cell phone. Sometimes we need to just break away from looking at screens all day.

Crochet Cowls

So I decided to crochet some cowls for Christmas... Well while I did get about half of them done and to their recipients I am still working on the rest of my belated gifts. It didn't help that I caught the croop or whatever it is that is going around however I do believe had I not gotten ill I still would not have been able to complete all of the cowls in time. They take anywhere from 6 hours to about 8 or 9 hours depending on the size. Eventually I would like to complete one for myself as well. Shown here I got 5 done before Christmas and I have another 5 I want to get done for gifts still to go not including one for myself. Whew....

What gifts did you work on this holiday? Did you get them done?
