My “November” And “I Like Books” Planner Layouts


And then, all of a sudden, it was November. The next-to-the-last month of this crazy year. There’s no better time to give thanks to God for His abundant mercy and grace, and to those in our lives who love us and support us when we need it most. That’s what my November planner spread is all about.

Have I ever mentioned that I like books? That’s not exactly true - I love books. Some of my best friends are books. That’s why I adore this week’s planner pages - because they’re pages full of pages! Very little could make me happier than books in my calendar book. One more time ... books!!!

I’m allergic to real cats - incredibly allergic - but this kitten had to go in my planner anyway. He coordinates purr-fectly. Get it? Purr ... sorry. I couldn’t resist. This week, the left hand page will be for my home to-do lists, and the right hand page will be for work stuff. On this side, I need to keep track of a custom card order I’m working on, as well as notes for some upcoming youth lessons and social media posts. And now that our Butcher Box is here, I can do some serious meal planning in that food space. Fun!


 Monday is going to be a super, wonderful day because Danny will be celebrating the Big 5-1! I’m making sure it is an incredibly special day for him, as I’m praising God for the husband He has given me. At the office, we’re hosting a few important meetings that I need to be prepared for, so these spaces will be perfect for planning ahead. These happy stacks of books will definitely get me through my work week, especially my weekend is booked. Get it? Booked ... sorry again. (Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Tip your waitress, try the veal.)

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
