Let’s plan a life we love, and create what we wish existed!
Welcome to Plans Creatively, a little sliver of the World Wide Web to be able to share and showcase some of what I’m passionate about. Created because I found a deep love for the world of planning and fell down a rabbit hole of the planner world – it’s a thing… doesn’t every hobby have a rabbit hole to dive into? Needless to say, planning is one of the things I love to do. However, this isn’t the only hobby I have. I’ve found my calling, who I am as a person, and what I’m meant to be with overall being creative with everything I do! Planning just helps keep it a little more … organized … if you will. Oh, I can get into great detail of the whole thing, but, why don’t I show you instead…
All you need to know about Plans Creatively is this is a place for me to showcase what I love, and what I’ve made, where I can be creative without judgment, and most importantly show you how I plan a life I love, and create what I wish existed.
Showcasing my creativity to inspire, bring hope, and love everywhere
If I can be completely transparent, and honest – something I am guilty of doing anyway – I have been bullied, ridiculed, and even harassed for being a creative, artistic, weirdo to some people. I never quite understood it when growing up, but I’ve blossomed into appreciating it about myself as I grew and as I grew older. I’ve had a lot of people judge me, tell me to grow up, and even look at me as though I’m a grown woman stuck into the life and mentality of a child. But, without getting all psychological and deep with it – I have always just loved to be creative and make things. And, no one should feel ashamed or less than others, especially as though they’re crazy or wrong for just wanting to be creative. Here at Plans Creatively, my goal is to showcase the work that has brought me peace, comfort, happiness, calm, and quite frankly a small smile on my face (and to others when they want something made). And, in today’s world, what’s wrong with finding happiness in the silly and “weird” things that bring you joy? No one should ever feel ashamed of that – doesn’t make you isolated, crazy, or even “in your little bubble”. It means that you’re strong enough to see the world through a colorful lens, to think outside of the box everyone wants you to fit into, and helps you embrace the inner child that has always been made to feel … wrong … for just being creative and happy with her art, even when no one else might understand it.
Growth Inspired, Creatively Lead
The goal for PlansCreatively is to continually see the progress that I’ve made over the years. I always have found it inspirational to follow people’s journeys and see their growth and progress! And, I thought to myself one day, why not do this too? I have been creating for almost my entire life, so why don’t I follow my progress and take a look at everything I’ve created so far, and how far I’ve come? I want to utilize this site not only as a source to share everything that I’ve made, but to share the tips, tricks, things I’ve learned, times I’ve failed, and everything in between as well.
I have been a blogger since I was a child, too. While blogging has fallen way down the totem pole of progress and the focal point of my journey, I figured I would incorporate a lot of what I have done with that as well. I don’t want this to just be a portfolio of the creative decorations and designs that I’ve made. But, I want to be a showcase of the growth, the personal outcomes and failures that I’ve gone through, the struggles, the ups and downs, and a lot of the things I have gone through as well. Mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Because when you base your life on planning and creative endeavors, you have a lot of things that come with the journey, including this too! I wanted to share all of this with you. The progress, the growth, the failures, and everything in between!
Innovative Ideas
I have always been so inspired by others’ works when it comes to their planning journey, their spreads, and everything that comes with them decorating their planners. I have many people I’ve followed over the years and I’ve watched their journeys as they planned their lives.
Creative Solutions
Starting, I started with the very first Cricut machine, that didn’t support online files or cutting. I moved into printable files that didn’t include confidence to ensure my customers had the right things included. And I grew into making an entire shop and online presence to share with the whole world.
Online Shop To Share
Customized stickers allow creative and decorative ways to help keep you motivated to keep going and stay productive or inspired. I have finally found the confidence in everything that I’ve created, and I use it in my planners every single day too! I love that I can share this with all of you as well!
