Lol, love the out takes! The dog has plenty of energy and a need for mom! ⚾️

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

Oh he does have TONS of energy! Another couple of years and he'll calm down LOL!

[@alias065]

I have kept my past planners on a side shelf. Not sure how long I will keep them but for now they’re fine. Your pup is adorable!!

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

thank you!!!

I've only been at it since 2020 and already have a heap of planners...purchased and homemade...they are a pain to store because they are not all uniform in size. I like Stephanie's idea. I, too, make covers from Dollar Tree chopping boards...but sometimes they warp. Such a dilemma! But so much fun to do!

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

Hahah yep so much fun!

[@ruthforget253]

Great ideas, Di! I’m still trying to decide what I should do with my old planners. That is a future me problem. Lol❤ Thanks for sharing!

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

I'm with ya, right now it's a future me problem 😂

LOL ... I was thinking "what, no babies in this video" and then BOOM baby and squeaky toys!!!

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

He's a squeaky toy killer!

I bought some giant Tul discs at Office Depot and, as I've yet to start decorating my monthly, I put the guts of a couple of years on it for storage. I like looking at the spreads from time to time and they've been handy for cross referencing things for my husband and his work

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

Yep so far I have room to store my planners, maybe down the line I'll cull a few but right now... they are staying in storage!

[@annefrance9282]

I too have bought the biggest discs I could find to kind of archive my planners. However, eventually, I would very much love to bind them, so that on the long run I can keep my planners and reuse the discs and covers ;) Thanks @CreativeKarmaDesign for this informative video. Always a pleasure to watch!

[@playingwithstory247]

Great suggestions, Di! We just downsized from a bungalow to a mobile home and I have no room to store my old planners. So instead, I started digital photo albums where I took pictures of my completed spreads and put them in the cloud. This way, I can reference them for memory keeping/future spread inspiration, but don't have to keep the actual planners. I did hang on to the covers, discs, and some of the dividers that I love for future use.

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

Sounds great! Yes I keep a pic of my spreads too! Downsizing is a surefire way to figure out what's important to keep and what's not!

[@jenniferbrooks--planj5459]

Yes. I was thinking of filming flipthroughs and uploading to KZbin and setting the video to private. That way I’m the only one who can view them. And it’s not taking up my storage space.

[@playingwithstory247]

@@jenniferbrooks--planj5459 that's a cool idea! Plus it's good practice for if you ever want to start a planner channel!

[@Jenny-tw9vq]

I put mine on the shelf. I just do a vertical catch all and like to go back and look at it and compare how I started and how it looks today, plus after all that money spent on stickers I just can’t throw it away.

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

definitely the $$ is a factor!

[@kathymercado505]

😂

[@jodistille4687]

I only keep mine for 2 years and then I recycle it.

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

yup that's fine too! everyone should decide what's right for them!

[@karaslater7877]

I toss mine as soon as I can. I "mine" all the health data out of them then toss the guts. I tried keeping them, but they just got in my way.

[@CreativeKarmaDesign]

yeah I think as the years go I will toss the business planners first, then catchall, but I'll keep my journals. But I am a way off that point yet!
