As the end of the year approaches it’s time for me to start updating the blog planner and small business planner with new calendars for 2013.  I’ll be updating one planner at a time as I have some other projects on the go as well.  I will keep you updated as each new planner version is released. If you have purchased a planner in the past month I will forward you the new version when it’s released, you won’t miss out!

As you all know I LOVE blogging and over 18 months ago I create my ‘Blog Planner’. As I like to be organised at home, I find the need to be just as organised with my blogging.  This planner allows me to brainstorm blog topic ideas, create a schedule for my posts, keep track of my advertisers and so much more.  I would be lost without my planner.  

I’m thrilled to release Version 2 of the blog planner which includes more pages than version 1.  Please note this is a digital product and will be emailed to you instantly after purchase.  I have included divider pages (which can be laminated) for you to be able to organise the planner in your own A4 folder.  Apart from the divider pages, there is minimal colour on each page so you won’t use too much colour ink.
