Much Ado About You Planner Giveaway
Recently, my friend Lysa wrote about her favorite paper planner in this post here. I am also a gal who cannot get into the swing of an electronic calendar and, since it was time for me to get a new planner in September, I ordered one of the planners from the dear folks at Much Ado About You.
I LOVE IT!!!
Month-at-a-glance, week-at-a-glance, a pocket in the back and tons of space for notes & numbers. It is an invaluable tool for any gal!
Here is a little bit about Emmy, the creator of this business:
Hi! I’m Emmy from Much Ado About You.
I am a Paper Freak. Really. I love all things paper, and I get giddy excited when the paper companies come out with their new lines each season.
I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have an 8 year old son and a 7 month old daughter.
I love Jesus, and like to tell people about the amazing things God has done in my life to reveal Himself to me.
I run my business out of my home office and garage work space, and have 5 employees {including my baby’s nanny}, without whom I could not function.
We make products to help plan and organize life, including our popular Personalized Day Planner that has been sold in all 50 states and 7 countries. Life is crazy, my house is usually a disaster, my printer makes me bananas… but I love it all!
Well, the creative and generous Emmy who owns this swell business has offered to give away a medium sized planner to one commenter today. Just tell us what kind of planner or calendar system you currently use.
And Emmy also will provide 10% off of any calendars ordered through Friday, November 25th. Use the coupon code karen10 at checkout. Note that orders must be placed by December 1 to be ready for Christmas delivery.
And don’t worry. If you order one and then are the winner, your money will be refunded. :-) Winner announced Wednesday.
Seriously—-ask for this for Christmas. And then, go on her cool site, pick your cover, choose your size and you can even upgrade and get all your special days put in the calendar.
YES!!!
I have all my family’s birthdays, anniversaries, upcoming weddings, etc…. already printed in my calendar.
Oh, I am in planner heaven!!
And soon you will be too!
*By the way…the winner of the Beating Busyness package from the weekend is Andrea Stanley. Please send your home address to [email protected] to claim your prize.
Also, since so many of you have been asking for a family update on my sister-in-law, please see the post below. I appreciate your prayers.
Sadly the planner I use was one given to me by a business. I do see that as the months go on and kids get older how much more helpful one of these nifty planners would be. Very beautiful and would Love, Love, Love to win one. Thanks for the oppurtunity.

I am in need of a great planner to keep my life on schedule. Sounds like I have found it!! Thanks and have a blessed day!!
I currently use a planner from Blue Sky (www.blueskyimg.com)… purchased at Office Depot and chosen because of the pretty colors available! It is “Weekly/Monthly” so that I can see the entire month at once… and then turn to the view of the week, and make my “to do lists” on each day.
For the past few years, I’ve used an “academic year” calendar that runs from July-June… it seems that I tend to plan so much of my business and our family things similar to the school year that this has taken the stress out of having two calendars to keep track of from September to January!
Oh, how FUN it would be to have a personalized “Much Ado About You” planner with all those special dates already printed!! LOVE IT!
Hi Karen, I’m praying for your sister-in-law.
I just started using a planner this year that I picked up from Wal-Mart & it has helped me so much. I would love to win one for my Mom who has multiple dr. appts to keep up with!
Blessings,

I usually make my own planner. But, my printer just died on me, so i would love a new one. These are super cute.
My planning consists of a date book I found at Walmart, a mom’s wall calendar and a clipboard with a master to do list. My master grocery list is on the clipboard, another list on the fridge.. I love paper !!
Hi Karen ~
I am still back in the pen and paper days myself. The computer era is too much for me. I love to use my calendar; I look at it everyday, and I would be lost without it.
The little book is always easily available to me; I don’t need to turn on the computer for reminders, or just to simply see what I have planned in the future. All my vacation time, theatre nights, etc. are in my calendar. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Congratulations to those of us who are still hangin’ on to our pens and paper!

I use my brain… it’s incredible inefficient and forgetful, but I haven’t been able to organize myself to do anything else unfortunately!
Karen,
Thank you soo much for posting about your new planner. I have tried different electronic versions and paper planners. I haven’t found anything that fits me yet. I am definitely more of a paper planner person. I am heading over to order one as a gift to myself.
Thank you again!
Blessings,

i am using a combination approach to planning…and honestly, it’s not working that well! I have a little planner in my purse, a big calendar on my desk, a wall calendar on my fridge :/ HELP!!
This planner is adorable. Not only am I a fellow Paper Lover, I am a Vintage Lover too so right off the bat, the Much Ado About You title banner caught my eye! I am currently using my blackberrry to house all my appointments on, however when in church meeting, it makes notes taking a little tough:( Love your Products! Thank You Karen for sharing this cute shop!
I write things down on the back of envelopes!! I would so love to win–maybe it will change my life!!!! Thank you and many blessings, Barb Saying prayers for your sweet sister-in-law. I hope ya’ll have a very Happy Thanksgiving
Embarrasingly enough, I’m using a spiral notebook and writing in the dates each day – not too efficient, I know!
I use my school agenda book (High School). I carry it everywhere.
I also like Lilly Pulitzer’s 18 month agenda–now if I could just stay on track with filling it up.
I try to do all of my planning on a wall calendar for all to see, except I forget to look at it :( I have tried the electronic way of keeping track, but I don’t really do well with that either. I haven’t found the perfect way to keep track of everything. This planner sounds FANTASTIC!!!
I have a family calendar on the side of the fridge where I put appts, sports, etc. I also am trying to use my iPhone calendar more, as it can give me a audible reminder which is great b/c I never know where I’ll be when I need reminding!!! :) Will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.
Sweet….need a planner for 2012, thank you for the opportunity:) I am praying for you and your family.
This planner will help me keep track of it, after all it will have my name on it!!!
I would love to win one of these supercute planners! I currently use a wall calendar in my kitchen which has big spaces for everything but have been struggling to find the perfect calendar to keep with me and also don’t prefer electronic calendars.
Thanks,
Jennifer R
I like to use planners and am good about getting them all prepared and then forget to carry them with me! UGH!
Planner? What planner? I bought one a while ago but have no idea where it is.
Hi Karen,
I was just trying to coordinate my “muti-calendar” system (mom’s plan-it wall calendar, phone, pocket calendar, and a handful of notes and lists) when I came across this. This could be INTERVENTION…saving me the stress of too many places to look! Thank you for your wonderful insights to help keep us on track for the Lord and our families!
Blessings,
Kim
Hi Karen,
I actually use an old iphone with no phone capability and a cell phone my son bought for me! So if it is really important I pray and hope that something will trigger in my mind that I’m suppose to be SOMEWHERE!!!
Blessings in Christ’s beautiful name!!

I am still trying to find the right planner for me! I need space for daily lists!!!!!
First of all Karen, I want to let you know that your sister-in-law and the rest of your family are in my prayers. Also I prayed for safe travel for the girls heading back to North Carolina today.
Right now I only use a wall calendar to keep track of appointments and special days. Sometimes it works for me, sometimes not. I would love to win one of these planners. They are so cute.
I use a Christian women’s planner that I found at the “Bob and Larry” store, as my kids call it. It’s time for me to find another one for next year, though, and this one looks amazing!
