Looks wonderful. I wish you bountiful sales.

[@squairdplans]

Fingers crossed!

[@lorasnyder2384]

I am IN LOVE with this! Let the Holiday planning begin!!

[@squairdplans]

Woot! Woot! 🤗❤️💚

[@amberrichards8078]

Very nice seasonal planner. Thanks for sharing.

[@squairdplans]

Thanks for watching!

[@michellebee1117]

Like you, our holidays will be on a smaller scale. I love this idea of a smaller section.

[@squairdplans]

Totally! Trying to keep things from becoming overwhelming. :)

[@annbrowning]

You are a thinker! How smart this is. Great job!

[@squairdplans]

Glad you think so!

[@niteleit]

This is amazing. Thank you! I would love to see a Thanksgiving planner too.

[@squairdplans]

What pages would you like to see in it? I've never used one before so I need some guidance.

[@niteleit]

@@squairdplans some of the same things but for Thanksgiving: a one-page monthly calendar, a weekly one page (something to put weekly tasks on), guest list (with maybe a spot for allergies or if they're bringing something or if they have kids and you need a kids table), menu planner, recipes, a day of planner for an hourly view of what needs to go into the oven when and for how long, grocery list, notes page, maybe a supplies list (ie, do you have enough flatware for X amount of people coming), maybe a chore list.

[@julielundberg354]

Wonderful idea! Looks great too😍

[@squairdplans]

Thank you! 😊

[@JustScribble]

Perfect timing. I’m adding a section to my new mini size for holiday.

[@squairdplans]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@wendyhoward2699]

This is absolutely amazing! I love it. You are so creative!

[@squairdplans]

Thank you so much!

[@ericamason7777]

This could work really well for me! Thanks for creating this!

[@squairdplans]

Great to hear! Happy Planning!

[@tinaferguson672]

This is so great! I can't afford to buy but I really love it. ❤

[@squairdplans]

I understand. Glad you like it, though. :)

[@renattanangle4112]

I think I’ll try this. You did all the work for me. Thank you!

[@squairdplans]

Happy to share!

[@britiabradshaw3878]

Stephanie, this is PERFECT! I've already purchased it and am printing it now. Thanks so much for this great resource!

[@squairdplans]

Yay, thank you! Happy planning!

[@korkeshaarrington7223]

Nice! Thank you for the freebies ❤

You are so welcome!

[@pathamm5834]

So cool... I will be buying this if I can get Staples to print it as I only have I pad

[@squairdplans]

Awesome! Happy planning! 😁❤️💚

[@michelletufau9556]

Have you thought about extending through New Year’s. It doesn’t matte much this year but for future years past COVID it might be nice. New year’s event planning sheet, just a thought. The pages are beautiful and well thought out , thank you!

[@squairdplans]

That's a great idea! I hope to expand on it for next year, so I will definitely add that to the list.

[@pnutdolly]

So cool! Where did you get the red dashboard?

[@squairdplans]

It was part of a teacher stickerbook/dashboard combo I got from target during the school release. I couldn’t find it anywhere online...sorry. 😔

[@pnutdolly]

@@squairdplans No problem. I love taking bits and pieces and moving them around.

[@wynter_abney]

This is the best

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! ❤️

[@viconmypc]

Awesome! 🤩 One day, I hope to be as organized as all that when it comes to holiday planning! 🤣 Totally #inspiring though! #Goals 👍👏

[@squairdplans]

Thanks! Looking forward to having everything all in one place this year! 😁💚❤️

[@almaflores4410]

Do you have any suggestions on how to print 2 sided when you are scaling down to classic size? I'm having trouble getting it to line up right. I love all your work. Blessings!

[@squairdplans]

Start by using Adobe Reader to print (it’s free). Then in the print window, be sure that “actual size” is selected AND “auto portrait/landscape” to center the printable on your page. You can scale it in the page settings and you should be all set. Hope that helps!

[@almaflores4410]

@@squairdplans Thanks, I'll try that.

[@vanjavanja10]

Thanks! 😁

[@squairdplans]

You're welcome 😊

[@atlladyleo1]

Thanks for the freebee! But am I doing something wrong when printing? I reduced it to 84% for my classic, but the red line on page 2 won't line up correctly at the spine when printing front to back. 😟

Love your insert but I use a digital planner. When trying to import to GoodNotes it asks for a password. Help.

[@squairdplans]

Gail, email me directly and I'll see if I can help. [e-mail]

[@squairdplans]

Yay! Thank you!

[@thehoys9412]

Okayyy. This is AH-MAZING. BUT, would you consider adding more months to this? Say....July to December for us crazies? If so, I'm down for 2021!

[@squairdplans]

Umm, yeah! I am working on 2022 now and will implement your suggestion!

[@thehoys9412]

@@squairdplans wait, no 2021? Love your stuff!! repeat buyer!! Haha, I'm starting my 2021 plan for Christmas and holiday projects.

It will be for 2021…I’m just working on my 2022 planners but u r right. The holiday planner will be for this year! 😁

[@thehoys9412]

@@squairdplans yesss

[@thehoys9412]

@@squairdplans I noticed the 2021 Christmas planner is out!! It's PERFECT for me, only my gifts are all handmade, so under the Gift Giving List page, it'd be great if there was a checkbox for "made" instead of "purchased". The amount paid is helpful, but really for me it's more of a total cost of project than an individual cost. Also, I think you built in the greeting cards in the Gift Giving List page also, I'll probably insert my own card list as I make mine by hand as well! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[@oswaldoguerra7657]

This is perfect! I can stress how annoying it is that 99.99% of planning is pink and very feminine. With that being said, this I absolutely love the the color scheme you went with and the helpful inserts you created! Already bought mine and cant wait to use it!

[@squairdplans]

Yes! Thank you!

[@amyross8931]

Do you use expander discs on your planner? If so are they plastic or metal? I had to move mine to expanders and they are the plastic glitter ones from HP. I have a hard time turning pages.

[@squairdplans]

Currently I don’t use expander discs but am looking for some for 2021. I tried Tul gold metal 1.5” discs and the pages would not turn on them either so I returned them. I have metal happy planner classic sized discs which work great and turn well. I think it depends a bit on the quality of the manufacturing of the disc too. If the center body of the disc is too thick, that is when the pages tend to stick.

[@wynter_abney]

The link is not working

[@squairdplans]

Hi! Yeah the planner has been updated since this video came out. Here is a link to the 2022 version in my shop: etsy.me/3RoTBfz

[@secondaccount1688]

Unfortunately the arc punched pages will not line up exactly with happy planner pages

[@squairdplans]

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

[@secondaccount1688]

@@squairdplans if you think of each punched hole as a mushroom, happy planner has longer stems. While the arc punch operates beautifully, I feel like HP’s longer stem keeps the pages on the discs better.

[@squairdplans]

@@secondaccount1688 I think I noticed that which is why I waited on purchasing. I agree, longer stems are much better at holding the pages in place.

[@thehoys9412]

@@secondaccount1688 Absolutely. I have punches from Arc, Tul, and Happy Planner - I always reach for the Happy Planner punch.
