I hope this is the correct area for this, but anyway....

I have finally succeeded in making a planner for next year that fits my needs! You'd think I"d have done this before, but no..... Next year will be our 20th year of hsing, and I now have the perfect (for me) planner.'

Not to say that Michele's homeschool planner wasn't very nice (very nice indeed), but since we moved to an online family planner, I don't buy general planners anymore. Most school (and homeschool) planners are only 36 weeks long so I have to buy two which annoys me.

Last year I got the Tanglewood Corebook download, but I kept having to alter one page of each week. (English is a foreign language as far as my little guy is concerned, and there is nothing for PE.) Also, the binding I chose didn't work that well for the amount of abuse I put my planners through.

So, this year I have put it all together! I altered the page of the Tanglewood Corebook as needed, I had 55* copies of the pages I wanted made, I made a pretty cover with cardstock and clip art from Nippert Artworks, covered the cardstock with plastic covers, and the bound the ensemble with my (relatively new) binder.

Yes! I love it!

* I know there are only 52 weeks (and a day or two) in a year, but I like to have a few extra pages... just in case someone spills on my planning pages... as has happened. I can then just tear out the mussed pages and rewrite the weeks as necessary.

In Christ,

Hey, that's GREAT!!!

You know, I too much prefer doing my own lesson planner and building it the way it fits our family!!! It works for us...and if it's not working, I make a few changes and start printing pages that work better!!!

AND....I JUST LOVE making pretty scrapbook covers and embellishing my lesson planner notebook (I just use a 3 ring binder)!!! It's custom designed for ME!!

Great job on your success!!

I know what a boost a little thing like that can give the day!

Deborah-

thanks for posting this. I think sometimes we forget to share our successes as well as our concerns.

Well done!
