This weekend, I attended the Chicago Planner Convention. This was its fifth year in existence but also its first year in a new hotel in downtown Chicago. As a new attendee to this event and a first-time Planner Conference attendee, the only point of reference and comparison I had was to pen show events. So,…
I am continuing my planner/journal/diary set-up the same way each month this year (check out my March and April set-ups, if you missed them).
