I also got the Carpe Diem Planner this year. I am using it, but not finding alot of time to make it cutesy. I am a lister, so have to have a paper and pen to do that. I still put all of my appointments in my phone, and put more to do lists and project life notes and things like that in the planner. Love all the cutesy, even going to make some stickers, but probably won't get too carried away. I have always LOVED paper planners.
