My Father’s Day Gift

June 20, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 1 Comment

Yes, you read that right. MY Father’s Day gift. I took my husband out Friday to try to get him to let me buy him something for Father’s Day.  We even went to Harbor Freight, he said there was nothing in the store he wanted. Really?  In a hardware store, nothing!?!? Oooo, the man is stubborn!  Well, not one to waste a day out shopping with hubby, we went next door to JoAnn Fabric.  Guess what?  They had DCWV 12×12 paper stacks on sale.  Half off! There were ones I had been dreaming about.  But did I need more paper, he sees all the racks I have now.  I kept saying how much I love the Generation Tech one.  I am a complete nerd.  The biggest geek he has ever seen.  Surely, that stack was made for me!  After sighing one more time and reminding him I do have an JoAnn Teacher Discount card for another 15% off because I home school, I walked away.

When I went to see where cutie-pie was, as he has a tendency to wander with a deer in the headlights look when he is in that store, he was loading his arms up with the most adorable stacks of paper.  I asked in amazement what he was doing, his reply, “you have a blog now, right?”, “yes, yes” was mine.  “Well, you have to do that stuff you do with paper to get people to want to look at it, right?”  Ummm, who am I to argue with that logic?!?  Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.  If I make it they will come.  I didn’t have the courage to tell him not that many people look at my blog. LOL

Aren’t they pretty though?  Yeah, I know, I’m spoiled.  But you know, he will tell you he is too.  I spoil him right back.  I love that man.  I loved him even before he bought the paper.  I just have to gush and say out loud how much of a man he is.  He loves God first and foremost which in turn makes him the most wonderful husband to me and father to our two boys.  Sometimes I don’t think they understand how much he sacrifices so they can have what they do.  He teaches them to be hard workers, responsible, honest and an encourager.  Love people more than yourself.  That you work to support your family not just to have material things.  Those things pass away eventually.  It’s nice to have things but what you need most in life is your family around, serving the Lord with you.

While he didn’t want any monetary gift I need to give him something. I will give him the best help meet he could ever have and be by his side till one of us dies.  Hopefully I go first, I don’t want to live one day without him.  Make his home comfortable and peaceful, clean.  I’m a little iffy on the cooking part.  But he will always eat, maybe just not cooked by me.  ^__^   I hear ol’ Bob makes a killer omelet!

I love you, Babydoll!! Happy Father’s Day! Oh, by the way, I bought paper this past Wednesday from Scrapbuck.com. hehehe  I didn’t know you were going to get me more!  At least I got a really good deal on it.  It’s the good stuff.  WorldWin DoubleMates.  $6 for 50 sheets.  Really good deal. hehehehe *runs and hides*

So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Per So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Personal size. This is for those of you who think it’s too narrow but don’t want to purchase a new PW binder. Franklin Covey Compact is the next best thing. 

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills Nothing ruins a perfectly good month like… bills.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

or
Lines (right side)

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
Field research, planner style. Since the Coach no Field research, planner style.

Since the Coach notebooks are sold out, I grabbed this leather cover on Amazon to test the fit.
Good news: it fits beautifully (and it’s roomy enough for tabs).

Bad news?
I got excited and didn’t read the whole listing.

No snap.
No elastic.
Just vibes.

Luckily I’ve got elastic on hand… but consider this your reminder from someone who learned the hard way:

Read the full listing, friends.

Sometimes the best combinations aren’t planned… they just happen.

The Aquarelle Sky cover paired with Candy Rush tabs turned out to be one of those moments. The colors line up so perfectly, it looks like they were made for each other.

Just a little unexpected color magic.
