Happy New Year everyone! ✨
I’m wishing you all an amazing 2019 full of love, laughter, incredible possibilities and precious moments. This is the time to start fresh, and take this opportunity to plan new beginnings and new ideas! I love January, because it’s the time of the year that I always push myself to try new things, and plan the rest of the year. Of course my bullet journal is always there to help me put my head in order and make planning and organising so much easier for me. 😊
I'm back with one more "Improve your Handwriting Challenge"! This is going to be the first handwriting challenge for 2019 and I’m super excited!!! ✨
This challenge is a fun way to practice daily, keep a photo archive of your handwriting and see how you've improved through time. You can also interact online with other people doing the same challenge, and also you can get inspired by others' handwriting too.
So, for January it's going to be 31 days of handwriting prompts that will hopefully get you to start practicing your handwriting every day. The theme for this month's words is ‘Words of the Year'. I wanted to make this one a bit more special and meaningful. I always like to choose a word for the year, so I thought to turn the challenge into a list of possible words that you could choose, in order to give you some inspiration.
The countdown has really started! With only 5 days till Christmas and 11 days till the New Year, everybody is crazy busy trying to plan and organise everything for the holidays. And don’t forget those last minute presents… oh, boy I don’t even want to go there! But even if you are incredibly busy, and caught up in the festive whirlwind, you need to set aside some time to plan and organise for 2019. It’s the best time to setup your bullet journal for the new year, and to plan January.
For January I wanted to try something different from the typical layouts that are related to winter. So, the theme I chose for this month is ‘Coffee’. I wanted to make this theme cute and fun, and I think that I managed to do that through my doodles and the little comments on them. I had so much fun creating these pages, and now I can’t wait to start using them.
With the New Year fast approaching, now it’s the perfect time to setup our bullet journals for 2019! I like to take this time to reflect on the year that is almost over and to plan ahead for the new one that’s coming. It helps me to put my head and thoughts in order and to get a head start before the 1st of January. Even if you’re not starting with a brand new notebook, it’s nice to dedicate a few pages in your journal to denote the new year.
Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the post, because there's also a video, where I'm showing you step by step how I've setup each spread for 2019. 😉
I love this time of year! Everything is in Christmas and New Year’s spirit. Festive lights are being strung around the neighbourhood, holiday music is playing at my favourite shops, and the season of giving has definitely begun!
December marks a time of reflection while we enjoy all the lights, sounds and smells of the holidays. I really can’t believe that we're in the last month of the year. 2018 is coming to an end, and it has truly been an amazing year. I’m grateful for all the opportunities that were presented to me and all the amazing moments and memories I had the chance to create. But I’m also grateful for all the problems and difficulties that came up as well, because they made me come out of my comfort zone and try harder.
As always one of the things that I love to do in the beginning of each month is to plan my weekly spreads, so that I have them ready to fill in all the information, appointments etc. during the month. That way I save time and I have space to plan everything. The theme for this month is 'Gingerbread Cookies' and you can see how I've setup my bullet journal for the month in this post, or you can watch the video here.

Today I came to the realisation that this is the last month we’ll be planning for 2018!! And that we have only 34 sleeps until Christmas!!! 😬 Eeeekkk!!! I’m ready for all the lights, and trees, and love, and family, and food, and presents, and parties!!!! 🎄 I’m also already setup in my planner for the rest of the month! I knew with all the Christmas shopping, decorations and events I won’t have enough time to plan as I want to in my bullet journal, so I took the time to do it now, that everything is more calm and relaxed.
Happy November everyone! ♥ I feel that the countdown towards the end of the year has officially started! The last two months usually fly by with all the preparations and the planning. Therefore, it’s the best time to focus and to plan the last 60 days of the year in order to make them count and to make sure that you achieve everything you wanted to before the end of 2018!
