I've finally made my shop live! I've been working on learning what I need to know to be able to sell online. I've still got a long ways to go, but I feel comfortable enough to start with a few items and see how things go.
Oh, Hi, by the way, my name is Tina. I've been planning since high school, too many years ago to count now. Ever since they put that 1/2 letter thin coil bound planner in my hand, I've been obsessed. That turned into creating my own pages, which is slowly turning into this online store.
Part of the reason I love planning seems to be because I have ADD. Not diagnosed until a few years ago, I get the Adult modifier, so I have Adult ADD. Not that that makes my ADD more mature, it just means no one knew until I was supposed to be adulting but wasn't. Anyways, long story short, that is why I chose my shop name the way I did. Because I am Chronically Preoccupied. I embrace it though. It's lead to this obsession?, hobbie?, side hustle? occupation. I could spend all day, if uninterrupted, on my computer creating pages, printing them out and trying them on for size.
I do try to keep my designs minimal. I have trouble focusing on my planning if the page is too busy, but that's just me, if you like you can add all the bling and ephemera you like. As the popular saying goes, "You do you boo." I'll be over here with my pens and paper, and I might decorate my journal, but that's an entirely different thing.
I have made a youtube channel as well. Probably just for doing print and trim tutorials, but you never know, a flip through or plan with me might sneak in there from time to time.
I can't promise that I'll blog much. Aside from this shop I'm a stay at home wife on a 2 acre chunk of property out in the woods of Canada. There are chores that need doing, and I'm the one to do them. But I do hope you enjoy my designs.
Welcome to Preoccupied Planner, and I hope that you'll visit again.
Cheers,
Tina
