Featured: C.R.A.F.T. blog & free social media printables

1 Comment Blogging Tips

I’m excited to say that I’ve got a guest post over at C.R.A.F.T. blog today (Creating Really Awesome Free Things– great name, right!?) of the social media printables I made after being inspired by the printables that Jamie made for her site. Hop on over there to get your free printable download for “TweetTarts” and “Insta Grahams.” I think they’d be cute at any event that you want people to tweet/instagram about. Having a birthday party and want to have a hashtag for the event? Print these off, attach to treats, and label the package with your hashtag.

If you are visiting from C.R.A.F.T.

First off, HELLO! I’m so glad that you stopped by my little blog. I like to talk about all the little things that make life the crazy party that it is and the ways we can celebrate it. I hope you find something you like to read and stick around for a while!

Before getting back to regular programming over here on the blog I thought I’d share some of my favorite/ most popular posts and ways to connect with me. While this may seem like a shameless blog plug (yes, it is) it may be a good reminder for anyone stopping by the blog that were previously following me on Google Friend Connect… I moved to WordPress and lost you all. I miss you! 

Some of my favorite/ most popular posts:

Lucky in Love Free Mini Cupcake Topper Printables / DIY Cherry Blossom Branches / Travel Themed Inspired Real Wedding / Free Blog Planning Printables / You Are My Sunshine Real Party / 7 Days of Toddler Boy Style

Feel free to search around and check out the free printables, crafts, and recipes. I just made the move to wordpress so I still have a lot of work to do on all my pages. But, my archives and search bar work GREAT! 😉

Ways to connect:

I absolutely LOVE connecting with readers. I want to get to know you and I want to provide material that you will enjoy reading, find useful, or just find lovely to look at. If you enjoy connecting over social media then find me below and let me know that you found me through the blog. I’d love to connect with you.

 

Do you read in a reader? Follow my blog via BlogLovin or RSS feed.

Do you read in your email? Follow along by getting RSS emails sent to you! (I’ll have a monthly newsletter coming soon!)

Thanks to everyone visiting the site. It means SO much to me. I’ve got lots of good posts coming up over the next few weeks. Stick around!

{Printables} Celebrating Love

1 Comment Freebies

UPDATE: 9/14/14 I used to have these prints in my Etsy shop, but have since closed the shop. I now have them linked below as free printables. If you like the printables I’d appreciate you sharing via social media or subscribing to my newsletter! Every edition of my newsletter comes with a set of brand new free printables!

I’ve been having a lot of fun doing some hand lettered illustrations that are all about LOVE! I’ve picked some of my favorite quotes and drawn them out. I really enjoy the look of hand lettered quotes framed up on the walls. So, I hope you enjoy these little printables. I’ve got several of them in the Scribd shop for an affordable price as a digital download or you can purchase them customized in your color choices and in 3 sizes from my Etsy store. They’d make a sweet gift for a friend or loved one this upcoming Valentine’s Day.

PS. Because I love you and it is almost Valentine’s Day… I have a 20% OFF coupon code for my Etsy shop! Which means you can get the printables for even cheaper! CODE: LOVE20

Free Printable Blog Planner

91 Comments Blogging

The 2018 Blog Planner is Here! Check it out and my new website:

A Well Crafted Blog

We hear over and over again that planning is the key to successful blogging. For some people, it is! Planning and organizing out blog posts, collaborations, affiliations, sponsors, and the like can get overwhelming easily. It is a good idea to keep your plans all in one central location whether it be on your computer, online, or on paper. For people out there that LOVE the feel of paper in hand, or want a place that is non-tech based to hash through post ideas, or even have a way of posting up your schedule so that you can see it everyday… I made these printables!

I created a set of free printable blog planning sheets for the Portland Bloggers’ January Meet-Up from this past weekend. I’ve been utilizing them in my own planning now and am finding them super helpful. Check them out and hopefully you’ll find one or two that can help make your blog planning go a little more smoothly.

The free printables in the blog planning package include:

  • Monthly Blog Post Planning Calendar— Each sheet has an open month calendar so that you can put the month and dates in. Each day on the calendar has popular social networking symbols with check boxes so that you can check off when you’ve promoted a post.
  • Weekly Blog Post Planning Calendar— Some people prefer to plan out their blog posts in more detail and on a weekly basis. The weekly calendar also has social networking symbols. It also has an area for weekly blog maintenance and SEO planning prompts.
  • Events and Holidays— A list of events and holidays. This is not a comprehensive list by any means… it also has all of the dates for the upcoming Portland Bloggers’ Meet-Ups.
  • Blog Post Brainstorming Worksheet— A blog post planning sheet
  • Blog Collaboration Worksheet— A place to track collaborative projects and responsibilities.
  • Blog Resolutions Tracker— A place to write and track blog goals and resolutions
  • Finance Tracker— A place to record income and expenses
  • Affiliate Programs— A place to track affiliate programs
  • Sponsors— A place to track sponsors, payment, and responsibilities.
  • Stats & Analytics— A place to record your stats and analytics monthly
The above links go to a downloadable FREE PDF of each sheet of the printable planner. Download the ones you need!
(PS. I’d love to know what you think of the free blog planner, what items you’d like to see on an update, and how you are using them for your blog!) There will be a new set of printables out near the end of the year, so get your suggestions in soon!
* I created these free printables for personal use only.
The printables were first featured on the Portland Bloggers’ website (also owned by me).
