Next week on the Pretty Organised blog I

I’m a through and through Moleskine girl. And then I saw the Kikki K gold personal planner , and I knew that I had to make a few adjustments. That was also why I contacted christmas decorations Vanessa and Kristy and made the Pretty Documented Planner . Most of my printables stemmed from a need of mine, and this one was just a more specific need.
I ordered the Kikki K, had it shipped to a friend in Sydney on work, and waited the months for her to come back to South Africa. My baby took her time getting to me, but she’s worth it. She is pretty much perfect. I’m smitten. So smitten, in fact, that I’m too darn excited about this, so I’m breaking my one post per day thing right before Get Messy happens.
I thought that I’d be waiting until the weekend to set her up, but as it turns out, I could barely wait an hour. There was a lot of trial and error that happened with the printing, but I’m ecstatic with how she turned out. Plus, I’m going to be sharing all of my printing tips on the Pretty Organised blog so that you don’t need to make the same mistakes that I did.
I knew that I was going to use my planner mainly as a calendar. I already had Moleskines that went in depth for the things that I needed (blog, shop, projects, etc). I love using them, and I love the separation. I am using my planner to give a broad overview of my life at the moment.
My main issue with getting a planner was the fact that I am unable to write on non-Moleskine paper. It feels rough, I don’t like my handwriting on it, and I needed something smooth. Amen for finding Moleskine printer paper. So I’d use that for pages to write on, and a bright HP paper to keep true colours for the dividers. I also knew that I’d have a mix of floral and minimalist – I adore that floral pattern that Kristy made, but it was overkill for every page for me.
The Kikki K default pages are, quite honestly, shocking. The paper is thin, I don’t enjoy the design, and it has “Kikki K” all over them. Whaaat? I was so happy that I made the Pretty Documented Planner because it suited my style way better. I immediately christmas decorations took the Kikki K papers christmas decorations out.
Of course the first bit would open up to my day. I’m keeping my MITs Moleskine for those three little tasks, but this is nice if my day is particularly busy. I trimmed down a Becky Higgins plastic divider to mark my place.

Printing in this way was difficult for a number of reasons, including 1. I used A4 sheets christmas decorations to print at A5 2. My Moleskine papers were rounded on the corners and I had to factor that in too because I didn’t christmas decorations want the corners in the middle of the binder 3. Those monthly calendar pages were a trick and a half to get right! 4. So were the dividers 5. I wanted to have my tabs not mess up the floral pattern.
Next week on the Pretty Organised blog I’ll be sharing a mini review of the Kikki K Personal Planner, and how I printed all of this. I’m going to be doing a lot of organisation posts and videos on that side, so you might as well subscribe ;)

So so pretty and so you! :) I wish I could have a planner as pretty as this, but right now I need a really big teacher’s planner to fit everything in (timetable, planner, students’ grades etc) and because christmas decorations I didn’t have the nerve to make on myself, I stuck with an ugly one I bought from a teachers supplier..

It’s my first Kikki K and it’s such great quality. I’m thinking of getting a personal sized Filofax christmas decorations and then I’ll be able to compare. I’m so happy with how well the planner pages suited it! I was worried about the lilac bits, but am so glad I could remove christmas decorations them all.
A gorgeous planner, but I’d forget to use it! I’ve been using a bullet journal since February, and love it! I’ve already set up one for the new year, writing everything down in one book just seems to work best for me.
I think is the 3d time I read this post… But you are inspiring christmas decorations and I am planning something for december and I am terribly excited for organizing myself! I tried to print your habit planner 2 A5 in one A4 and I couldn’t. I need to take another look to your post about it. xo
