Goodbye, July

Hello, August! I figured I would show you my little monthly Hobonichi calendar spreads lately. I think I’ve mentioned before that I like to decorate my monthly pages with some washi tape and stickers. Sometimes there’s a theme. Last month’s was neon fireworks. The August theme (below) is garden and baseball. I usually pick something seasonal, but sometimes I just go with a washi tape I’m feeling happy about at the time. During the last week of the month, I flip ahead to the next month and start plotting out my plans. This helps me to see if there are any birthdays coming up so I can get a card in the mail in time. (I’m still not 100% perfect on timely birthday cards, but I’m improving!) As things come up in future months, I write them on little page flags and stick them on the appropriate dates. It saves erasing/changing things that are planned far in advance. I’m still enjoying summer so I’m not ready to set fall activities in stone quite yet!
