Pretty Planner Pages - Every Time!
Let's get organised for Christmas! If you purchased a planner from a previous year, you can simply buy the upgrade (includes cover and calendars with this year's dates) and print the other pages from the file from last year. This upgrade is for people who have previously purchased a Hooting Pirate Christmas Planner! It only has 3 pages: a 2024 cover plus December and November 2024 calendar pages.
Do you have lists upon lists on Post-its® and the backs of envelopes? Project ideas, shopping lists, and spur-of-the-moment ideas that don't have a place in your day-to-day planner?
