Hello everyone, I’m Jennifer Pohl and I’m thrilled to be on the SRM blog today!  SRM stickers have been a part of my life for *years*.  They are the perfect product for party favors, birthday designs, gifting, and now --- planners!  I’m absolutely addicted to my planner; it’s a lifeline for all that’s important to me.  It helps me stay focused, organized, and assists me in staying on track with my life goals.  It’s so much more than a date keeper.

  

It’s not my nature to just jot down appointments and events on paper – I need to be creative.  I need to make it pretty.  I need to look at my planner every morning and feel motivated.  Today I’m featuring my October layout.  My objectives for October are;

• Take lots of fun photos of my children enjoying the events of the month
• Continue to try new recipes and record them on recipe cards that I can refer to in the future
• Be on time, and not let anything “fall through the cracks” as it’s sure to be a busy month

October’s layout is all about Halloween, my family’s favorite holiday.  I’ve decorated the month with SRM Stickers but left plenty of room for jotting-down important information.

I inserted an embellished pocket to store backpack notes for my girls.  

(I’ve been tucking notes for years and my girls look forward to seeing a little something from mom.  They’ve kept every note throughout the years!)  

I got ahead of the game by premaking little inspiring tags using SRM’s ‘Labels by the Dozen’ and ‘Live Life’ school stickers.

Also tucked into October is a glassine envelope containing recipe cards – all decorated with SRM’s Cookin’ stickers.  I’m on a mission to try new recipes and memorialize my family’s favorites each month.  

By the end of 2015 I should have a collection to help me head into 2016 with lots of dinner options.

The last October insert is a clear pocket for photos.  Lots and lots of photos!  We’re planning a trip to the pumpkin patch, haunted house, and we’ll be attending a costume party… So many opportunities for pictures.  I needed something special to hold them until I could scrapbook them, so I fancied a banner using SRM’s Halloween stickers.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a peek into my planner.  Be sure to share your planner ideas on SRM's Flickr.  We'd love to see what you do!  And don't forget to comment for a change to winner some planner goodness from SRM!
