One of my favourite things is getting organized, especially when I can partner that with having beautiful illustration to admire. Illustration ranks up there with super powers to me- I would much rather be able to draw whatever I have in my mind than leap tall buildings in a single bound. I've been getting so excited to get calendars and planners set up for new year that I can't get them out of my head these days! These are some of the beautiful pieces that have been catching my eye…

Do you have any rituals that help you prepare for the new year?

For a start, I make myself a new calendar for the next year. This year I am planning to make new pages for my filofax as the shop bought ones never perfectly suited me. If anyone is interested, there should be a tutorial up on my blog in a bit. I already sorted through my belongings, getting rid of some things and clearing up some space for new projects. I am still planning on reflecting on the past year and making some goals for the next one but I still have a bit of time for that.
You’ve made my day… I LOVE CALENDARS!
Oooh! I love ’em all. Especially that last one. I am a huge sucker for calenders of all sorts, and planners and basically anything organizational. I’ve self labeled myself an organization geek. :P
I feel like I need to start everything with an extra-clean house, a stocked fridge/pantry, and all of the organization I can muster. That “clean slate” feeling at the beginning of the year is so nice!
I like calendars with room for writing – I guess it’s the mom in me :D I always take some time on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day to reflect on the past year – major events, successes, goals, etc. This year I’m doing Radvent (http://princesslasertron.com/2011/11/radvent2011/) in my offline journal – it’s been fun so far! I also usually to Ali Edwards’ (http://aliedwards.com) “One Little Word” – though this year I completely forgot about my word by about March. Oops.
I wish I could draw too! I seriously think that must be so awesome and I hope all good drawers don’t take it for granted :) Great calendars! I always make a list of a few goals for the year- like what things I want to learn to do. Last year blogging was on there so I’m happy to have started that! :)
These are beautiful Kyla! Something like this will make a great gift for people on my Christmas list. Thanks for the idea!
Great selection of calendars.
Some of my rituals are…
(1) I try to wrap all the items I have been procrastinating on before the year is out. When I’ve put off a lot of stuff it tends to drag me down. Thankfully I have still have 30 days to complete my list. ;)
(2) I also tend to do a major clean/purge around my place. Like my to-do’s, clutter or disorganization drags me down. Clean space, clean mind I find. :)
I’ve never been this OCD with planning and staying organized until I got a blog. Now, I’m trying to create notebooks for ideas and possibly topics.. but I can’t stick to it because I get too wrapped in this idea of how perfect I want this planner. I’m crazy, gah.
Hahah, these are some amazing planners!
