Hey friends! I hope you had a wonderful week!
Can you believe it’s only a week until Christmas?!? This month has flown by! Which is a good thing because it means we’re almost done with 2020!
Speaking of which, tomorrow I’m headed to Michael’s to get a new planner for 2021. I discovered Happy Planners online and I want to go check them out in real life. If you’ve never heard of Happy Planners, they are essentially planner/scrapbook hybrid. I’ve always wanted to scrapbook and even bought scrapbooking supplies, but I never got around to actually making any scrapbooks (although I do use the supplies for other projects). So now I can plan away and get my scrapbooking fix at the same time! Yay!
Do you use a planner? If so, which one(s) do you use? Do you prefer a paper or digital planner?
I did manage to get one more room decorated for Christmas…
Here is a red and gold Christmas in my dining room! I’ve wanted to try a red and gold color scheme for Christmas in our dining room but wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. I think it turned out pretty good! Check it out here and let me know what you think!
Farmhouse Friday will be taking the next two weeks off as Christmas and New Years lands on the next and following Friday respectively. We will be back on January 8th. I hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very happy New Year!

Easy Ticking Christmas Stockings by The Pond’s Farmhouse

Link Party Rules:
Link up your DIY projects, decor inspiration, and crafts that are farmhouse style. You don’t have to live in a farmhouse or have farmhouse be the main decor theme in your home in order to link up. I love seeing farmhouse mixed in with other styles such as boho! No food or recipe posts please. I’m super flexible when it comes to defining “farmhouse” so if you are unsure of whether your post will fit in the party theme, go ahead and post it and if I feel it doesn’t fit, it will be deleted – no hard feelings! 🙂 It doesn’t matter how old your posts are, but please link up your posts only once.
I don’t require you to link back to this party, but if you do, I appreciate it! I also don’t require you to visit or comment on other blogger’s linkups, but it’s always a nice way to share the bloggy love! By linking up, you will get a chance to be featured here at next week’s party and across my social media. If you pin anything from the party, please pin it from the original source.
By linking up to this party, you permit me to share your posts and pictures via social media and as features, roundups, etc. with a link back to your post or a link back to this party on the week your post was featured.
Once again, I hope you have a safe and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a very happy New Year!

Just yesterday, I added a planner to my Christmas list for my husband. I didn’t know about those happy planners like you mentioned. You’ll have to let us know how you like yours. I love all the beautiful features this week. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful holiday!
Cheers!

Michelle says
You’re very welcome Shelley! After I posted this I bought a Happy Planner and I have to warn you – it can be addictive! I was instantly hooked! I already bought a hole punch and 10 sticker books and I haven’t even started using the planner yet! Since my planner is farmhouse themed I might have to do a post on it. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Hi,
I used to use a Happy Planner and I still use the rings but now I create my own planner pages since the pages were never quite right for me. My suggestions are to buy digital stickers online and print them on sticker paper. Much cheaper and you can print the ones you use often whenever you like. If you have a Cricut (or similar) most vendors include the “cut” files too which makes cutting them so mich easier. Etsy is the best place and some artists have their own sites (which are usually cheaper than their
Etsy sites).
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Michelle says
Thank you so much for the Happy Planner tips Adrienne! I’m already hooked as I’m one planner, one paper punch and 10 sticker books in! 🙂 I have a Cricut as well I’ll definitely put it to good use for planner stickers! I hope you and your family have the best Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
