I love planners. Not as much as I love Christmas though. Hence I thought of doing the obvious. Create Christmas themed daily and weekly planners. And considering this is the season of sharing, I would like to share these planners with all of you.

You can download these planners for free. You do not need to provide any email address or do anything else. Just download and use them as you like.

Why I love Planners?

Apart from the usual reasons that planners help me stay organized, know what’s coming up and not miss out on anything important due to getting side-tracked, there is another important reason what I love planners.

I actually like to leave messages for myself in my planners. These are not necessarily messages related to the task to be completed. I write motivational messages. Sometimes I write quotes that have moved me. I know it sounds weird but I use planners to talk to myself sometimes.

Overall I feel planners help me stay happy. They let me focus on what’s important and see the bigger picture with all the messages and quotes I leave for myself and sometimes for my family.

Thanks to my absolute love for Christmas, these particular planners bring even more joy to my life. Just viewing the planner with the Christmas delight just makes my day.

About These Christmas Themed Printable Planners

1) There are three planners in total for you to download as of now. Two daily planners and one weekly planner.

2) I have not marked or written down the “Day” of the week. This is so that you can use them the way you like and add your own day. You can start the week at any date you want. This makes these planners quite versatile and can be used on any day you wish for.

3) The planners are in printable PDF format. You can print them using any printer and on paper of various sizes. The recommended size is A4.

4) You can preview the planners below before downloading.

5) Download link and instructions are given below.

Final Thoughts

I really hope you will enjoy using these planners. I will try to create more and upload them on this site whenever possible.

I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season. I pray all of your days ahead are merry and filled with joy.

You asked and now it’s here – Christmas subway art submitted with words chosen by you awesome THRIVE readers! 

Several of you who emailed me about the Thanksgiving design were disappointed when it sold out so quickly. I’m not a professional vinyl lady and am limited by the amount of time and materials I can cut. So when I got emails asking for a Christmas design, I asked my awesome neighbor Heidi to handle the cutting and shipping for me. That way I can work on more no-cost holiday projects to share with all of you – deal?

Here’s what we came up with using the suggestions submitted on THRIVE’s facebook page.

I love it! You guys picked the best, most fitting words to describe the season!

The picture above is vinyl on red painted canvas, but you can apply it to a board or wall. And to accommodate the reader requests for different sizes/colors, here’s what’s available: 8”x10” – $8.00, 12” x 14” – $10.00, 16”x20” – $14.00. You can pick the color when ordering HERE.

And as always, I’m all about the freebies and rockin-what-ya-got, too.

You can download a free printable 5”x7” of either version below.

Where were we?

Oh that’s right … the naked wall under my Chevron wreath.

My favorite, favorite quote/phrase/scripture for Thanksgiving is the 100 Psalm and I knew I wanted to have that displayed somewhere in my home. The words are so beautiful:

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:

be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I thought about making a plaque with wording, but decided to apply the vinyl right to the wall since it won’t damage the paint and can easily be changed for Christmas. I planned on using all white vinyl, but my awesome neighbor had this beautiful copper/bronzy vinyl that she hooked me up with that I am smitten with.

Here’s how it turned out:

I love how the colors work together with the Chevron Wreath and the way the copper vinyl glows as the sun streams into the room.

(Love the still unfinished trim work in the living room, eh?)

Have you ever tried using two shades of vinyl on your projects?

I hadn’t.

I cut the whole scripture in white vinyl first and then removed the letters I wanted to display in copper.

The I recut a few of the words from the copper scrap …

… and carefully applied them to the wall.

And just like that, one of my favorite scriptures came to life on my wall.

And as I sit here typing this, I can’t help smile at my view:

Now I realize that a lot of you don’t have Silhouettes so having a bunch of these projects can get frustrating. So … to make this project assessable to everyone and keep a Rock What Ya Got vibe, I’ve created several versions of this scripture in different formats so you can pick the one that works for you.

Option A: FREE COPIES

(yeah FREE!)

Silhouette users: email me at choosetothriveblog at gmail dot com and I’ll send you the file to cut your own. This should save you a couple hours of formatting and/or paying for a designs for the Silhouette store. A little tip here: weed slowly.

Non-Silhouette users: below are printable 8”x10” and 5”x7” versions that you can easily print out and pop into a frame you already have for a similar look.

5”x7” version: download HERE

Option B: Order Choices – SOLD OUT

1) If you need vinyl, my neighbor has kits for enough white and copper vinyl for this 12”x24” design for dirt cheap: $5. That way you don’t have to order a full role for a color like copper that you may only want a little piece of.

2) If you’d like to purchase a ready-made 12” x 24” version, I will cut a small number of these for $15 since they take quite awhile to feed and prep for application on a wall or board.

Again, email me if you’re interested.

So there you go …

lots of options for a beautiful reminder of this season of thanksgiving.
