This week’s planner spread, another Freddie Mercury tribute

I was inspired by the Freddie Mercury birthday spread I did in my planner last year – his birthday is the 5th – that I decided to do another one this year. I paired the printable stickers that I ordered from Etsy with some scrapbook paper and the functional sticker book from the Happy Planner 😁

Freddie Mercury Birthday spread in my planner

One of my favorite Happy Planner spreads that I did last year in honor of Freddie Mercury birthday on the 5th of September. I had used a watercolor technique that I learned from one of the squad members and wanted to try it out. I paired it with some stickers that I purchased from Etsy. 😁

In memory of my grandmother

My grandmother passed away the day before July 4th in 2018 and I made this memorial page for her in my Happy Planner. I included some family pictures. I also found stickers that represented her favorite things and reminded me of her.

Jo Ann Walker 4/8/27 – 7/3/18

I wrote the following poem and read it at her funeral. I also included it on my page.

I wrote this little poem to say how much you mean to me 
I’ll miss your love for chocolate milk, Judge Judy and jeopardy 
You were always there for me 
whenever I needed you
You always made me feel better 
whenever I was feeling blue 
Your love for history 
made you the perfect candidate 
To help me with my school projects, 
so they would not be late 
You were a very strong woman, 
one whom I admire 
Your knowledge, wisdom and generosity are some things to which I aspire 
It really hurt to see you suffer, 
you just wanted the pain to cease
I’m sad to see you go, 
but I’m glad you are finally at peace

A gift from my dad

My dad gave me this Bible on my 15th birthday, the same year that I became a Christian and I shared it 6 years ago on the 10th year anniversary of his passing. I thought it was really cool that it showed up today in my memories the day after Father’s Day this year. I especially love his inscription to me in the last paragraph, “whenever you need me, I’ll be here for you and when I can’t be just remember Jesus is in your heart now, so you can talk to Him!!”

The Bible says in Psalm 68:5 that God is “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” (NIV) So, I’m grateful that even though my earthly father is no longer with me, I still have a Father in Heaven who looks over and cares for me! 🥰🙌
