I've never won anything. Ever. Except a book about cross-stitch in Primary School which technically my Mum won from the raffle but I claimed as my own because I'm possessive like that (forget the fact my Mum cross-stitched and I didn't know how to)... You can imagine how thrilled I was when I found out I had won a customised Personal Planner from
Jharna (Baking Myself Happy). Not only had I legitimately won something on my own accord but it was something that I was super duper crazy ridiculously excited about.
If you've been reading my blog for long enough you'll know I'm a crazy planner (especially overseas trips but also weekly meal plans, to-do lists every day) and avid colour-coder (each subject in highschool had its associated colour so I had an array of pens and highlighters for each subject). You can imagine my excitement when I was able to personalise most aspects of my very own planner. From selecting the planner size (I went with A5 landscape), to the front and back covers, to the layout of the days, whether you want weather icons or smiley icons, the colour of certain lines, and even adding special events on certain days.

| You can upload your own picture for the front and back covers. I took this photo during Vivid Sydney last year |
 |
| I chose the pink banner and yellow stripes. The ruler is also pink and you can move it each week |
 |
| You can input special events |

| Lined paper at the back |

| Back cover |

| Plastic sleeve you can put anywhere - I decided to put it at the back of my planner. I also chose the pink elastic |

To be honest it's kinda fun just to go on the website and play around with the different options. I ordered my planner on 28th Jan and received it on 8th Feb so it was a super-quick turnaround (much faster than the estimated 3 weeks they quoted me). A huge thanks to the team at
Personal Planner and to Jharna for this amazing prize.
