    So earlier today I posted this...a post about staying organized and keeping your ideas in order - mainly because I kept coming across so many great ideas. Some very lovely ladies posted and said to do certain things...

    So tonight I went out and bought myself an old-fashioned (dare I say?) notebook, printed off ALL of my ideas and thoughts from the ceremony to flowers to gifts and made a section for each of them in the notebook.I left myself space to include more pictures and thoughts and enough space to write down what I want. Hopefully when the time comes, I can just rip out a page and say, "This is what I was thinking!" Tada!

    I realize we live in a "technical" world and spreadsheets, bookmarking and saving is heavenly...but man this helped. Especially if you're more of a physically visual person like me.

    Thats such a good idea, i do the same thing, and i'm a super unorganized person, but working on it!

    It has helped me to do that though, cause a notebook can't crash on you! i like to remember where i saw things on the internet at also! so i wrote them down in there.

    I do that too! Mine's in a 12x12 scrapbook that cost me all of $5 at Michaels during a sale, hehe :)

    And if you're kind of avoiding a planner, persay... here's my flickr where I have some planner pages and headers to kind of make your own. :)

    @LaborOfLove Wow thats a great idea! I kind of have a book like that except its about 5x6 so i obviously can't put pictures in. I used when I first started out - been almost a year now. But it was a good beginner thing!

    I bought myself a diary and at the front of it, I have written my to do list for DIY in the back section I downloaded a month by month planner and put that on colorful card and inserted into my diary. Each day I look at my planner and I cross off whatever Ive completed and I check out what I have to do for each month.

    Works for me.. as for the visual stuff. Thats what I got my blog for :)

    I'm using a combination of online and tearing out things...it just depends on where I found the idea, but most of my stuff on the computer gets printed out for vendors anyway.

    @Janana I know what you mean... it doesn't happen to be the simple stunning one does it? That one was just toooooo tiny so I gave up on using it and made my own. Lol!
