I gave myself a present.

I love mail that is JUST FOR ME.
This designer can customize anything you can think up!

AND... the bird necklace goes to help Nie Nie. Double darling.

Also, this week I made myself a personal assistant. It HAD to be done. I'm always disappointed with planners and organizers from the store. So, I opted for couture.

I named her Lois. This is after my grandmother who also made a custom home/family organizer when her four daughters were small. I think I got this gene.
I used my experience in wife-hood and motherhood to decide how awesome to make it.


It is my new BFF.

Way cute! I am so jealous; I miss your creativity! I wouldn't know where to start. My idea of a planner is a piece of paper I carry around with various lists scribbled all over it.

Hey Emily that looks neat. I bet it's handy to keep things organized and in order. Those necklaces were very cute, too!

I want one, will you make me one? You know how obsessed I am about organizing. I'll name mine Emma, after my grandma. Eliza, Elenor, I have a lot of good ones to choose from.

You need to show more pictures of your organizer and tell us how you made it!! LOVE love organizing and I'm always looking for a better way... I can agree that I'm never satisfied with the stores' planners either.

Um, Wow.

Actually, I love organizing too. Not quite as much as you do, but I do love to have things written down. Seriously, how did you make it?

p.s. Or just make me one.

Ok. You're my idol. I just want to know - what's inside? Really. I want to know. I kind of did the same thing - only not as cute. Dang. I think I'll name mine Maggie - just for fun.
