If you are like me you love the current paper planner craze for a number of reasons. One of those reasons propels you to overcome procrastination by viewing the creativity of those in the planner community. And the community never ceases to amaze me at how it uses graphics, 3D elements and bright colors to give planner dividers the magic touch. Here are some of the best dividers I’ve seen in the past month. Be sure to share photos of yours in the comment section if you’d like them featured in a future post.

Neon brightness of the Filofax Fluoro Pink always boosts my mood. Juxtapose it against polka dots, plenty of bows and a hot pink tassel and I’m feeling that much happier!

Right now we’re in the midst of Milan Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2016 offerings. When a polished designer wants us to pay for the privilege of looking worse than we do when we awake in the morning, that’s where we should draw the line.

My Favorite Planner Pens: Pretty Writing in Filofax, Erin Condren, Kikki.K
Being a pen addict is in my DNA. After church every week, Dad would stop off at the convenience store for ice cream and PaperMate’s Flair markers. Mom, my three siblings and I would wait in the car shivering in the Erie, Pennsylvania winters, anticipating the new colors he would choose. My favorites were hot pink, purple and green.
I still love Flairs yet somehow continue to raid the aisles of stores and online for the next pen that will make my writing experience that much more enjoyable. Here are some of my favorites, not because of their outward appearance but how they feel.
