Faux Tag Spread

In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread. By tracing around it and then shading in the edges, I was able to mimic the look of layered paper and give my pages extra depth without the bulk. It creates a dimensional effect that makes the tags look like they’re tucked right into my notebook. To keep that “layered paper” look going, I added strips of washi tape from the Planner Kit to the top and bottom of each 'tag'  Washi is one of my favorite ways to bring in more texture without overwhelming the page. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule. On the left-hand side I used a Top 3 box to focus my priorities, then scattered in task lists, appointments, and reminders for the rest of the day. I also I divided my tasks into AM and PM lists I do this quite often because it makes...

"How do you do it all?"

"How do you do it all?

This is what people have asked me for years.

I'm a fairly task oriented, to-do list kinda girl. I like to plan out each week, have a family meeting about it on Sunday so everyone knows the schedule.  Of course things get switched around but as long as it's changed on the calendar, I'm happy.


I also like a tidy house, visual clutter drives me crazy. All the boys, not excluding my hubby, know that when mommy gets a little crabby, it's time to help her pick up.

But let's be honest....I can't do it all.  Job, hobby, kids, cooking, cleaning....you know the drill. I'm not Martha!


I  did try to emulate her in my early married years. Dessert every night, fresh baked bread and no dishwasher with a baby. Crazy stuff.


Now, I'm just like every other mom.


Piles of crap to deal with.



Fabric Scraps not put away from projects.



And I cook from boxes too. ~~gasp~~

See... I do live in the real world.
