I’ve received my refund in full and am grateful that this.
I love how your planner turned out!!!! I wonder if the listing ever got updated!!
Wow she did finally update her page but the way she did it sounds so crazy. She said it has 30 daily pages per month because you could use a day or two off. Lol 😂. Im glad you said something. Thanks for sharing
@Maggie Mcdaniel wow. Really what an idiotic thing to say.
I just checked the site. This is what it says now. "The Shelby includes 30 undated daily pages per month. You deserve a day (or two!) off, we know you don't plan every day, why waste the pages?! If you need more days for the longer months, you can always use the dot grid separator pages or create your own custom coil using the link above." I wouldn't want that planner without 31 days each month. Glad you got your money back and I will not be ordering one of these.
That’s crazy! Better not schedule a doctors appointment or social event on the 31st of any month because your $66 for 6 months planner can’t handle that 😆.
I would never, ever purchase ANYTHING from that person! The description on the site is snarky and passive aggressive, and that is extremely distasteful. And this chick is asking for your money! Had you not made this video, she would have been very happy to let this fly under the radar.
@@atlladyleo1 I agree.
@@martham9980 Right?! What about those poor people that have their birthdays on the 31st...
"we know you don't plan every day"? What kind of remark is that? Honestly, I don't plan everyday, but I'm sure I would like to have a full calendar planner. I know for sure I wouldn't use hers. I'm glad you've stand your ground & got a refund. It would be nice if they could admit what they did wrong. This might be a additude problem from their side. They might think you're to objective. But they better have customers who are honest enough to tell right from wrong, so that they can and will correct their faults. That's how I would want my customers to be. I love you for your great attitude. And your videos are awesome. I've learned a lot from them. Wishing you lots of blessings 🙌 and joy 😊 with your wonderful own created planners. Kudos
For $66 that thing better be planning my day for me and doing half my chores 😅 I'm glad that you got a refund!
🤣 Riiiight!
🤣🤣🤣
"A planner isn't subjective to artistic freedom - it's the CALENDAR." Love that line. 😄
I also love that paisley interchangeable cover you made ❤ and I can't wait to see some plan with me's or flip throughs of your super cool planner.
My gosh I love this line too.
Love that line, too!
That it the PERFECT line 😂💗
I will bring out a monthly planner for next year with only 10 months in it, because 10 is a nicer number than 12. Of course I won't tell customers, because strangely, they don't agree with me that 10 months make a full year, so better leave that out in the description. Please don't tell anyone!
Hahaha!
😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Actually made me laugh
I felt like the responses you received were a “live with it” attitude. I love supporting small business but not for something like that. I love that you stood your ground and that you took a crappy situation and used your own creativity to make exactly what you wanted, which, in my opinion, is way better than the original! Awesome job!
I stumbled upon this video accidentally and watched the entire thing because of how well spoken and how descriptive you were from beginning to end. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Exactly what I was coming to say!!
Right? Same here! I was looking for some ideas and I got more than that. I usually would scroll further, but it got ally intention. It was very interesting. Love it. ❤
I gave up on "Planners"designed by other people years ago. I started making my own. I do it for relatively low cost, and since I enjoy it, I created my own for work as well. Customized to who I am and what I do. I was frustrated by lack of attention to details by companies that create planners. Besides you know what you need better than anyone else. So you got 2 - 6 month planners for under $30. NICE!
I made one too! (^•^) How did you make yours?
@buggieboss2899 I designed my own pages on my Mac.
But there is an incredibly easy way to do one now. Canva has loads of templates to pick from, and elements (pictires designs etc)
I used it to create a custom planner for a friend who is very active in our community, and is Mary Kay consultant as well. She loved hers.
I am super curious what other buyers thought when they ran out of daily pages on the 31st. Can’t imagine they can stay in business selling something like that and not disclosing that info.
When life gives Robin lemons, she makes new planners 🍋.
😂❤️
Hi Robin. I appreciate your honesty, so please don’t hold back on topics like this. I look to my RUclips content creators when I consider purchases and more, and your honest reviews are important to me. You mentioned “Raging Robin” - please don’t say that like it is a bad thing! I’ve enjoyed your channel for quite some time 😊
the big message here is how you turned the anger to productiveness ... constructive anger and im proud of you too,,,
Thank you. I agree. Got blamed for trying to stir up drama but if people are truly paying attention I didn’t do that at all. Just made lemonade😂
You handled this situation with a lot of class. Thank you for sharing great content with honesty and integrity! And your daily planner is fabulous! You should be proud. Lemonade from lemons 😍
Totally unbiased here. My planner style is very different from LPA, I’ve never shopped there and I don’t know the owner.
My humble opinion… I see both sides. If this were a dated planner I would 100% agree with you, that would be ridiculous. But since it’s undated, I get what she was going for by having all months include the same number of pages. She could have picked 31 instead for sure, and maybe that would be better, that’s why I do see both sides! But personally… the point of an undated planner is so I have freedom. I am an undated lover because of my planner style! I cannot use a daily every single day of my life so therefore I skip around. I use them when I’m most busy or have something scheduled. I would never use all of those dailies in one month, I know some people would, but I think those people would be better suited for a DATED style if they truly need every single day/page. Undated is for freedom - to not use the planner daily and not have to deal with wasted blank pages! That’s the biggest reason I go undated over dated - I hate wasting a page. In my planner one daily page is June 10th and the very next page will be June 15th for example.
I also sometimes start a planner randomly (so not in Jan). If I bought this planner and it had the proper number of days for each month and I started it in April for example, I’d be all messed up (if I used one daily every single day, that is).
I hope I am making sense! Full respect to your take, just adding mine too. For an undated planner I understand why she chose to just stick with 30 pages of dailies for every month, because most people gravitate towards undated when they plan like I do.. aka need the freedom to skip days and don’t like wasting pages like you would in a dated planner. For someone like you who needs one page per day, I feel like a dated daily would be more suitable (and would save you time in having to date the page since you know you’re going to use one every single day of the year!)
You were unsatisfied with a product and deserved a refund so I’m glad you got it! As a self professed undated aficionado, I don’t personally find a lack of page count description misleading. This design is something I would expect in an undated planner having purchased MANY throughout the years. However, not everyone thinks like me, so I think saying that in the description is the safest bet so everyone knows exactly what they are purchasing before they do so. When in doubt, always add as much detail to product descriptions as possible!!
Wow! This video is so old I didn’t know people were still watching it. Thanks for watching.
LPA updated the description (it’s bad 😂).
The shop really just threw away the 31st of several months AND updated the description to say “we know you don’t plan everyday” 🥴
Who in their right mind wants to be charged full price for an incomplete product??? 🥴
IT'S EXHAUSTING! And so lazy on her part. Just fix it! It's a cute layout.
Wow. I used to get planners for decades, (before the internet even), from Day Timers. You could Select the type of layout you wanted, one page spread per month, per week, one day across two pages spread, or a single day per page. I used to do the full 2 pages per day. And you could select which hours. I really wish they had a 24 hour format because there ARE 24 hours in a day. I got the closest to that I could find. It still focused on the 9-5 day, which I had for work, but I used it for all day and non work things too.
You could select the size of the pages, from small pocket size to full binder size. You could select the type of binding. You could select the cover. Add extra pages and features, get personalized note paper. You had a spot daily to track expenses, and a monthly spot at the end of each month to total things. It was designed for travel expenses reimbursement, like meals, mileage,hotels etc. But I used it to keep track of every penny I spent.
It was my backup brain. And it was predated. So if I made a dentist appointment 6 months out, I could flip to that long range planner and pencil it in. By the time a new month started, it already had so many things written in there. IF they're still doing planners, they're only online now. There used to be some limited formats available in some office supply stores. Depending on the format, you could choose which month for it to start.
I loved the little features like the moon phases being shown, the holidays listed, which day of the year and how many days left in the year...
I tried bullet journaling but I had to create the calendar. We already have an existing calendar each year. I admire people who can do that with the fancy artwork. But for me, the whole idea of planning is to better manage your time, not to waste time
Back in the ‘80’s we school PTA moms would make planners like this for each teacher as thank you gifts! The cinch machines were electric and a dream to work with.
Got us hooked on doing our own❤
Love your creation!!! Our struggles often lead to our breakthroughs. I think your new planner is perfect for you since you laid it out and made it yours. The colorful cover is gorgeous. Enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing it in more videos!
I usually just watch your channel and never comment...but... I would have been livid, I'm the type of guy who just says, it's ok, it'll be alright, my word for the year is courage, and I have spoke up a couple of times and it feels good! You were totally in the right to have pointed out the incomplete planner, they're are many people who probably ordered that planner and didn't speak up! I admire your COURAGE...yes I do!!! To the person, who commented about you being a bully...is pure bullshit, you informed us with a wise decision, not to waste our hard earned money! I enjoy watching your channel,keep up with the two thumbs up videos.
Thank you for having to courage to comment! You’re gonna do great! I will pray for you that you have wisdoms when to step
Forward and be courageous because that’s a key ingredient. And thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Yeah I left some thoughts under that comment. Thanks for watching.
This is a very therapeutic video for anyone having a bad day. 😂 That being said, I have yet to find a planner that can organize a person who has a brain that looks like John Nash's secret room in "A Beautiful Mind." I have thought about making my own and printing it out since I have all of the hole punches and everything, and I even have tons of images that I plan to laminate to make dividers and paper for pockets. However, I'm still at a loss for what will actually work for me, starting from chaos. I can't decide if I need a planner or therapy.
PS... You can also use Word shapes or even Excel to create a form. In Word, you should be able to add shadows to the shapes. I think there are other programs that will work as well. You can set your page size or print size in the page setup, and all of your lines will be nice and straight and aligned, plus shadows if you choose that option. It might be a bit easier for you. :)
We all need some therapy❤️ and maybe try to make your own for just a month and see how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Did you end up making one? 🙂
I don't know why anyone would think it is ok to sell planners with missing days. I can understand printing errors and such but she did it on purpose. It's mind-boggling. I am glad you figured something out and I hope she refunds you. Thank you for sharing.
For that price!😱😱
I love your solution! It looks AWESOME. And it's so much better getting something you've made and for a fraction of the cost of what it's replacing! You're such an inspiration! :)
Im 2 years late to the party but I’m truly inspired, I’ve bought so many planners and the layout just doesn’t seem to fit my routine or thought process, spent so much money and have a lot of leftover pages lol. Thank you for the motivation.❤
You should be proud of your new planner. It’s awesome!
Thank you for telling us about your consumer experience. It was enlightening, to say the least.
Thank you so much!
Ohhhhh your planners are beautiful. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment with them!!!! ♥️
I got a planner one time that only had 11 months and since I didn't end up using it for a year, I was poop out a luck. I'll use it eventually. I like making my own 1/2 letter size sheets and I put them in a small 3 ring binder. I might try taking them to a copy place too. I ❤️ coils. Thanks for that idea. Sorry you had issues with an order.
As Plato said Necessity is the Mother of Invention, you created some awesome planners. Congratulations!
Yes! Thank you!
Just want to say I appreciate so much that you put this out there because you’re right! That’s not ok, it’s false advertising and honestly it just goes to show the type of shop owner that person is. I make EVERYTHING I want because I just can’t afford the mark ups that some of these shop owners sell things for but when I want to support a shop I do. Rarely is that the case these days due to the greed or lack of honor and decency lately in people. I just don’t understand how some people work or how they think things like what you spoke about would be acceptable to put out there and blatantly falsely represent?! Thank you for always being yourself and for speaking the truth!! Great job on your gorgeous daily planner design!!
Love your own creative planner. I've been wanting to make my own but I'm computer challenged but seeing you do it freehand is giving me motivation. Thank you. Great job!
Did you end up making one? 🙂
Hello Robin! As a maker from time to time for friends and myself i can tell you that i would be angry to pay that price and not having all the days: a daily planner has to be based on the calendar, that's it, there's nothing they can argue against like they did. But in the end i am very proud that you made inserts that suits you better with all the days you needed: bravo!
You are the bomb. How awesome to take a bad situation and turn it around for a positive result. You did the right thing. Very proud of you.
Thank you.
I love how you do your measurements! I’m the same way. I also love how you made your planner. Thanks for sharing.
I love your planners, well done :) Can't wait to see how you feel working in them over time :)
As someone who has been around the Australian print industry for over 2 decades, I can say with certainty, there is nothing to adding those extra pages. Especially in the smaller planner. 6 pages = 1 A3 print face = 4 pages per A3 print face, so .... 6 pages = 1.5 A3 print pages, that .5 will be absorbed in the overall print run so it's not at all messy.
Now, assuming it's a basic print on A3, with standard cuts; it's around $0.26c per A3 sheet, up to $1.50 depending on choice of paper.
In a nutshell, even here in Australia, it wouldn't have cost her anything to correct those months to 31 day months; and she could've kept the price at $66 OR, here's an idea, introduce a 2nd product line with the 31 days in there :D
Lazy, or .... unfinished printing bothers me, I try to not let it, but it does.
I worked for a printing company for ten years, I feel every piece of this comment!
Thank you for sharing your process. I would never have thought of something like this. Very inventive. I love it.
You have filled my head with ideas! I like weekly layouts. But no planner has just what I want in them. I have played with the idea of going digital and making my own layouts. But I know I would miss the tactile of using paper. I am 73, I love many digital things but... So now I know to spend this year working out exactly what I want. Then for next year I will be ready to go to office depot, that is my only choice in this back water town. I will copy the number of pages I want. Then go home and arrange them for the months and sections I want. Then take that back to have them punch the book and spiral bind it! Now to create a project plan and start planning my pages. I will set a goal of next fall for completion. That gives me time to work around my cancer treatments. I did and sold calligraphy prints in the 80s, so I have experience with dealing with copiers. Thank you.
Hi. I made my own planner during college and got so many compliments on it. I couldn’t read through all the comments so not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but you could scan your design into a PDF and take that to the print shop where they would print it front and back for you. Have the same design on 2 pages to make sure it would line up properly.
You could also create text boxes in Word or Publisher to get the same look and can save it in your computer to print at any time.
My own planner needs were to have the day broken down into 15 min increments so I used Excel for that and merged cells together to make the boxes. For example, column A had the time and I widened column B to be the width I wanted the line to be. Then I just formatted it to add the line. I duplicated these columns to make it 3 times on a page and on the “opposite “ page of the planner I had 2 of these formatted columns along with 2 text boxes for Sat & Sun. This way I could see the entire week across both pages when the book was open. Then I added areas for month at a glance, doodles, trackers (again, just formatting the cells to make little boxes), and added some inspirational quotes spread throughout. This wouldn’t be ideal for the size of planner you enjoy but I wanted to share my experience with using Microsoft programs to help me with my planner.
I think it’s great you stood up for yourself. More people should do that, then the scammers can’t get away with as much. I hope you have fun with making more planners in the future!
Thank you for all of the information. For your time and honesty. I love your videos because you are real and passionate, not just you personally but about the products you choose. You continually inspire me. Thank you for sharing your geeky love of paper and stickers and for all of the time it takes to make these videos. And to people who leave lengthy comments that challenge you I think that they need to be reminded that your channel is called Talks From The Heart.
Well this time it was facts
Way to go girl. Love your response I totally agree. You should get all pages regardless of how many days are in the month. I like your idea. 😉
Glad you put this out there, I will steer clear of that non sense. Your much better than I because I’d bad review that everywhere. Who in their right mind can say having 30 days in a month is ok? Not sure how that shop is still in business!
Thank you for sharing your story! I love how your planner's came out so very cute!
This is terrific! I appreciate your honesty and choosing your words so carefully! We have too many that rage on about a negative experience without regard. I agree this would not be satisfactory but your approach and resolution showed great character and creativity. Awesome job!!
Thank you. I wanted to rant but honestly what would be the point.
Wow! Beautiful planners! While my story isn’t quite the same as yours, I, too, decided to make my own planner! I tried EC and looked at some others, but they were full of sections I never use, and way too expensive! I wanted an 8.5x11 binder type system that was simple. So I designed my own and published it on Amazon! Much cheaper, totally functional for me, and allows me to keep one binder and switch out the pages every year! 🥰. Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s important to have quality reviews of products and shops to consider when investing in something that will be a part of everyday life!
Girl, that turned out awesome!
You know the old saying, necessity is the mother of invention.
Wowza… one of the main factors for me being so slow to open a shop is that I want to be 110% sure I can provide the best quality for anyone who decides to shop. So it boggles my mind how people have no regard or care for the feedback they are given on their products. Props to you for putting a positive spin to the situation! ✨
Well maybe that's what would make you a great business owner is because you've thought things through. I don't know Bess at all but can only tell you what happened to me with my first purchase experience with her.
Just have to say I am sorry this happened but also glad it did...your planner is adorable!
What a fantastic idea! I would never have thought to take it to get coiled. So creative! Thank you for sharing! 😀
Love this. All I can think is that when you get to month 4… you might want to have rebound so that you have many months in the future isn’t he planner - since it’s so easy to have that part done. (That way you aren’t carrying around 2 planners in the summer.) OR - have a few pages at the end where you can write the future dates of things without having to look at the future planner??? Such a GREAT idea!
Thank you for sharing this. I am going to be honest I never really thought about counting the days to make sure they were all there. I had always taken the last day and moved it to the next month witch always bugged me, I always thought it was my fault and "I" counted wrong.
I love the way your planner turned out and you have inspired me to try and do one myself. Can't wait to see some PWM's using your planner. Hope you have an amazing weekend...
I COUNTED THREE TIMES CAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING IT! UGH!
This is really cute. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but at least you were able to make something that is functional for you. I never thought of laminating something to put as a cover for my printed planner. Thanks for the great ideas!
I’ve always heard that you should always over deliver but these people have under delivered or in fact short changed their customers, totally unacceptable. You handled it well and came up with a beautiful alternative. Good Job!
I agree!
I think you’re right on the money with your responses to all aspects of this situation from the lack of calendar accuracy to the curt “it is what it is” response…not the least aggravating of which would have been spending your time planning daily through the initial month of January only to find yourself a day short. Even undated, you need an accurate number of monthly pages. Though disappointing, at least you were offered the option of returning the product and receiving a refund. In the planner community, reviews about products, service and attitude can either bloom or burst a small business and I can see that planners would certainly skip the purchase of an intentionally flawed item. As you said “It’s the CALENDAR”.
Thank you for this! I always think I want a planner, but I can't find just what I need/want. I've been working on my own printouts in binder. They are still evolving. Eventually, I'll be able to print and bind!
I'm proud of you, too! Your planners turned out amazing--you'll have to update us on how you like using them. 😊
That's such a cool idea. I honestly had not thought of taking my own to do to bond it. Thanks
Your experience is absolutely ridiculous but what you’ve done to make up for it for yourself you did an awesome job I love it
I'm glad you stuck to your guns and explained your feelings and her mistake. Hopefully she learned a life and business lesson. I love your design so much! Can't wait to see what you do with it. I just got a Hobonichi style dot grid notebook to use for health/selfcare/me. Because it's without a format I am designing my own. It's fun but challenging,
Thanks for posting this, very helpful in deciding which planner shop to spend my money with.
The website has been updated to say that there's only 30 days a month, but not without a sarcastic remark about how no one plans every day and it's preventing waste 🙄
Yeah we are not the only two who were not impressed with her weak effort to add "wording" to make the customer aware.
She was totally unprofessional! Reminds me of a 12 year old trying to write mafia plots on WhatsApp... I blame it on the politics in the school system! (Having seen behind the seens, just how bad it can get from an inside perspective!)
She really should have just apologized for the inconvenience and fixed the planners to accommodate 31 days!
You are a freaking genius! I love your solution!
That is great!!! I have found that the easiest way (for me) to make something double sided is to print another page, cut the new page to size (so make two since you are doing two spreads per page). Take those and glue them directly to your master on the other side in the area that you want them. Then you can make a two sided new master. I hope that makes sense. I also made my own planner pages that I'm going to use for work next school year (not enough time left this year to make one). I also disc bind mine just because it's easier and I can do it all in my house...but I also will not have that many pages.
Stumbled across your channel this morning and agree that you can’t short change on days in a daily planner. I love your layout and think it could easily be converted to a digital format so you could print on both sides.
I went to the buying page today not sure if the update was done in the last 2 days but she directs buyers to watch the VIDEO to see how the planner is laid out. She clearly states 30 Daily Planning Pages in the flip through but I am not sure why she doesn't just add it to the written description. Wanted to thank you for this review it always is nice to be aware of what to expect. Plus this is VERY pricey not to add that extra day in the first place or State it CLEARLY in writing.
The description has been updated and says " we know you don't plan every day, why waste the pages." And then directs people to use the dot grid pages to create a daily page if needed. ???
Also, I mean, it's a planner. You can expect the number of months to change, but not the number of days per month XD
She went through the trouble to make a video? instead of fixing the root cause of the problem?! Talk about stubborn, hard-headed, rigid, inflexible person...
I 100% agree with you about the whole situation. And your planner design is so simple and beautiful. Personally I would buy that from you. Amazing design job. Love it!!!!!
Yeah Sarah warned me that if I showed it people would want to buy them. But I gave the measurements and honestly it wasn't hard to make. So you should try it! If you need a daily planner. Thanks for watching.
I'd be furious too! Your solution was soooo cute! Good for you sticking up for what's right!
Robin! I adore the planner you made 😍. Way to go!!!!
Genius how you made your own daily planner! Great job. I also don't understand how it is ok to have each month at 30 days and not 31 days.
I am thrilled you were able to come out of this situation with a big positive!!!
thanks
"I AM SO PROUD OF ME!" my favorite quote of the year so far!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I love that you made your own planner! I definitely want to try this for next year and work on it being double sided.
Did you end up making one? 🙂
I love your planner! And this is such a great idea! I feel like I’m never 100% satisfied with my planners
The planners you made are beautiful! Thanks for sharing, hug from Uruguay ❤️
You made an absolutely Beautiful Planner. I love it. Very Inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
I love your planner. For myself, I would add lines on the backs of the pages for notes or trackers. Well done!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your experience with the seller. Moreover, thank you for showing us how we can overcome this type of challenge by making our planner to meet our needs.
Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate that you made an achievable DIY planner. I always see these as DIY and then it looks so artistic and my stick drawing self can't do anything. So thank you
Thank you so much!
I love your planner. I'm in the frustrated stage right now. I've had planners before. My life changed so much, that I felt the planner wasn't needed. HA! It's been THREE years, in which time I retired from doing home daycare, had two knee surgeries and an arm surgery. My husband has also had some medical issue develop. I was between not having any energy to do the stuff I should have done, much less depress about planning to do it and failing. 3 years later, I am coming out of a blue brain funk. I need a planner to not tell me what to do, but encourage me as to what I did and be proud of it, so I want to do more. I seriously was going to buy a planner. I looked on line, but really wanted to touch and see it in person. I went to a variety of stores. I just couldn't FEEL it. I'm here to day, looking at ideas to make my own. I have no problem using some of the parts from older planners, but over all, I need something that I can call home for myself.
Nice work! A huge achievement. I know the work involved because I've been making my own planners for years now using Print Shop Publisher Pro. It's not the best software but VERY easy to use. Once you have your template and EXACTLY centered on your page, I run the pages through printer for the other side. I make A5 size. Sometimes I bind myself and sometimes I use a 3 ring binder. I never make them with printed dates.
Over the years I've customized for my life at the time. I'm on meds now and so I added a space for checking off those along with exercise and water intake. Special space for the three most essential tasks of the day is key for me. I target those tasks and (if possible) get them checked off asap. I made a dashboard insert that works as a book mark too. I cut it out from a Dollar tree cutting mat and use same material for over front and back covers when I spiral bind. A zippered pouch insert holds my pens and sticky notes.
Everyone's needs are different and changes in our lives happen. However, last time I checked, we all have the same amount of days in a year. 😁
What you didn’t mention, was you now have a FULL YEAR planner for the price. I’m so impressed with your creativity and ingenuity. Watch out, Hobonichi here comes Robin!
Haha! And yes I forgot to highlight that detail.
I LOOOOOVE your new planner!!!! I want all the set ups!
Thank you for letting the rest of us planner girls know, Robin. That's the craziest situation I've ever heard. Love your idea. I cant find an affordably priced budget planner I like. Guess what I may try doing?!
Have you looked at Plum Paper? I’ve been using them for three years now, and they give the best quality for the price.
I buy perfect one year planners at Winners for from $7 - $12 dollars. They have beautiful covers, fountain pen friendly pages and extra pages for notes. My son was upset that I didn’t get the $Store planner. So glad that I found these planners about 10 years ago. I hope they continue to carry them for the rest of my life. 💕🥰💕.
I did the same thing! Mind is still a work in progress but I love it more and more everyday. 🙏💙
100% agree with you on all points. Good for you letting people know.
I’m hoping that you do get your money back ☺️! I like how you handled it all! I’m glad you created your own planner that works for you💕! I’m looking forward to seeing you plan in it☺️. I’m not going to order from that shop any time soon😬! Thank you for sharing, take care and have fun 🤗💕!
Thank you so much!!
You did great. I am glad you found daily planner peace.
I found Agendio customizable planner and LOVE it. It’s pricey like this one you’re featuring, but it is 100% custom and you preview before you order. Nothing but happy with it.
Thanks for the heads up on this brand.
Thank you for the brand suggestion we always appreciate that.
I make my own planners, as well. I use Excel to create the page layouts, including a monthly grid, then save as a .pdf file. I open that with Preview (the pdf program that is standard on Mac). In that program I can copy and paste pages to get the correct number of days per month, add or delete pages, etc. Then, when I have the pages laid out the way I like them, I save the file and close it out. Then I open it with Adobe Acrobat and print using the Booklet setting (Preview doesn't have this option).
My printer doesn't automatically print both sides of the sheet, so I I have to run the paper through twice. It's pretty simple though. I choose the option to print the fronts only, then put the paper back in and choose the option to print the backs only. I print only one month at a time so if something isn't correct I haven't messed up the entire year.
I love being able to create a planner that is specific to my needs.
This is marvelous! I need to make my own planner to accommodate what I need to have in a planner. I am so proud of you. Thank you so very much for sharing.
Thank you!
I love the paper you used for the covers! I would be happy looking at them everyday. Great job!
Thank you so much!
You really took the long way to do this! Very proud of you tho. I'm on the same journey of crafting my own planner.
There are many programs where you can set up one page then copy and paste to others. Also if you have a duplicating printer it will automatically print double side. I think you did a fantastic job!!
You handled the whole situation very politely and calmly. I was hoping that maybe they had made a mistake, it was an oversight, but when you contacted them they doubled down. That's horrible. Not sure how they can justify to themselves that their product is perfectly fine. They obviously don't take pride in their products. Your planner turned out awesome, good on you for going for it and making your own.
Super strange how she’s ok with it. I was hoping I was counting wrong which is why I counted it three times….but NOPE
I love that you made your old planner. It’s a very very good idea.☺️☺️
Thank you!! 😊
I love this and I love your attitude! You rock. I can use that template idea. Thank you!🥰
