For my last Christmas themed weekly spread of the year I decided baubles would be my theme. I hoped my Helix Circle Maker (affiliate link) would arrive in time but sadly it was a few days too late… so I went in search of other round things to use to make the ornaments. Water bottle, wine bottle, shampoo, hot chocolate tin… I finally found the perfect size round object – my makeup container of all things!

I traced around my foundation container and ‘drafted’ the layout in pencil first, then went back and added some color. Instead of the ‘typical’ Christmas colors of red and green I decided to do a rainbow spread:

If you don’t have a blog, you could use different planning categories in your ornaments instead of blog posts. E.g. cleaning tasks, your kid’s tasks, meal planning etc.

I was going to use traditional Christmas colors but since I’d already done that in this spread and this spread, I decided to go back to my favorite color theme: rainbow.

After using this notebook a few times I’ve decided I really hate this binding / cover style. The cover sticks out too far making the notebook clunky, and when you turn the pages back on themselves the notebook doesn’t lay completely flat. I definitely won’t be ordering this binding style again.

Supplies Used:

• Agendio custom dot grid notebook
• Tombow twin tone dual tip pens (Teal, orange, purple, green & pink)
• Milkliner dual tip highlighter (light blue)
• Stabilo point 88 fine 0.4mm (light blue pen) (affiliate link)
• Uni Pi’s dual tip pen (yellow)
• To make the circles for the ornaments I used the lid of my makeup container (mineral foundation from Nude by Nature if you were wondering) but you could use anything round (e.g. a jar, wine bottle) or a Helix Circle Maker (affiliate link)
• Lead pencil & eraser
• Numbered stickers from the MAMBI dates and holidays sticker book
• Carpe Diem celebrate / party hat sticker

Pros of this spread

• Colorful
• Something different
• Don’t need to be able to draw – just need something round

Cons of this spread

• Took a while to setup
• Not much space to to do’s (I ran out of room and ended up adding a sticky note)
• Need large page size

Would I use this spread again?

Maybe. I’d probably make the ornaments smaller so there’s more room for to do lists on the spread.
