This giveaway is now closed. But if you’re looking for a good calendar/planner…keep reading!
Since 2012 is just around the corner (how did that happen anyway?), I thought we could talk calendars for just a minute. Plus, I have a cool giveaway attached to this little chat. Sound good?
I LOVE my Busy Body Book. Love love love. I’m a paper girl all the way when it comes to my calendar and this organizer has been perfect for me. I picked my first one up at a blogger event a few years ago and have gotten one each year ever since. It’s the best! Cate was super excited at the beginning of the school year to discover that her first grade teacher also uses a Busy Body Book, which earned me a few extra ‘cool points’ in Cate’s book!
Here are the top reasons I love the Busy Body Book:
- The grid layout is super handy
- I can see a week at a time and there’s plenty of room for notes/lists/appointments/etc
- The cover design is super cute and has a thick plastic cover, making it nice and sturdy
- It’s spiral bound
- There’s a bookmark that you can move from week to week
I shared Busy Body Books with you last year and I’m doing it again because I love supporting them. Plus, they are doing another giveaway here on TWFD to help you get ready for 2012! Yippee!
THREE of you lucky, randomly-selected people will each win a Busy Body Book for 2012. Simply leave a comment on this post by Midnight PT on Tuesday, December 13. The three winners will be announced on Wednesday, December 14.
And since it’s the season of giving, this is definitely a great gift idea for the busy people in your life!
Good luck with the giveaway and happy organizing!

Starting a new planer is always fun, kept my first year of menus etc in an old notebook…

I would love this!
Alecia
I am a big “to do” list girl and they have to be written down. It’s all about checking things off. So this would be awesome. I may get one even if I don’t win. Get calendar for 2012 — CHECK!
I, too, love having a paper calendar/daily planner. Thanks for the opportunity!
My husband keeps telling me I need to do my planner all digital….on my phone or computer, but I don’t like to do that! I have just been buying cheapo planners the past few years and don’t love them. I would love to try this out!

Thank you!
Oh, I so need a new calendar…:)
I’ve been looking for a good organizer/planner. This looks perfect!
I have three blogs, three Facebook pages, three Twitter streams – I just posted on Facebook today that I need to get organized, and one of the comments I got was to use a BusyBodyBook!
Looks great!
I seriously need one of these!
I am definitely a “organize on paper” person and picking out my calendar for the next year is always an important and lengthy task! I remember this giveaway from last year and oh, how I wanted to win. Hoping for better luck this time around…thank you!
sounds useful!
With my “9-day week” and my family’s regular 7-day week schedule, it is difficult to keep everything organized. I’m still looking for that “perfect” organizer and this one sounds like it might just be it!
I’d love, love, love to win one.
This BusyBodyBook looks awesome! As a mom, wife, student, and teacher, I could really use this 🙂
Must. Get. Organized. Looks like a great tool in the yearly, monthly, daily quest!
Looks like a great planner!
I’m a busy body if there ever was one!
Ill take one 🙂
Ohhh I so need this:)
I would love this! Thanks for the chance!
This would be great to keep track of school, home and church events! Also a great way to keep up with the weekly menu planning.
I had a busy body book last year and loved it! I would love to have one for 2012!
what a cool idea… i need one, i really do! may the busiest body win 😉
I would love a paper calendar. I love Outlook, but the problem is, i don’t have a smart phone, so I never have my calendar with me when I am trying to schedule things.
Omg! Would love thissss!:)
My goal for 2012 is to be more organized. I have been searching for the “perfect” planner, something that let’s me do it all in one place. This may be the ticket for me.
I totally am a person that likes to write it down and see it. Looks like a great organizer!
I’ve been agonizing over a new planner. I tried using my smartphone this past year, but I can’t stay on top of things like when I use paper.
Thanks for the giveaway!
These look amazing. If I don’t win one, I’ll definitely buy one!
Always could use a tool to help with organization. Love that it is an “old school” paper planner!
I’m a paper girl too! Love this!
I need paper too! I was showing my mom the scribbls all over my planner today in fact. Smart phones just dont compare!
I’d love a chance to win – with virtual schooling 4 kids, plus a 3 year old and 19 month old, it is a bit insane around here most days. Structure and organization are what I most need every day of the year. 🙂
Would love to win this!
I would LOVE one!! Ive been eyeing these for awhile now!!
OK! Trying again this year! Me, me me!
With as much as I fo on a computer I am still all paper when it comes to my calendar.
Perfect timing – I’ve been on the hunt for a new planner!
Perfect! I am a paper girl all the way and always need help organizing! 🙂
I would love a new planner! 🙂
always looking for better ways to be organized
I need this! My life is so disorganized. I think that book is calling my name.
I have been looking for a new and better orgainizer!
I would love to win this! I’ve been trying to go the electronic but I end up printing a pasting in a notebook anyway. I decided that when in comes to the planner/agenda I need to write it down.
How cute is that organizer?
This is totally what I need! Looks very cute to carry around too!
I never get to your give aways in time!!
Maybe I’ll be lucky this time
What a great invention for a working Mom.
Oh how I could use one of these! The pregnancy-brain has started to set in and I’m forgetting things left and right. Just last night, I left my office keys in the bathroom at work…all night. Went home without them and our department secretary had to email our whole department this morning!
Love the paper-and-pencil lifestyle. 😉
Jane, I totally want/need one of these. think I’m gonna have to break down and buy one if I don’t get picked again!
I could really use this since my husband and I just became foster parents and have two very busy boys ages 3 and 4 they are our great nephews but are still a handful. I have case workers in and out of the house all the time so it would come in real handy for me so that I could write when they were coming. Please pick me for one. Thanks Marsha
