One of my favorite ways to build momentum and energy for a project is to draft a written plan and to give myself gold stars as I make progress.  For years now, I have set three experiences on my calendar at the beginning of the month as the top experiences I want to give myself.  The photos from my Big Three are generally my favorites of the month and I love to showcase them in my monthly layout.  This year I am also working to tie the Big Three experiences in with my 26 in 2026 list.  In this episode, I am sharing my Big Three plans for January and February.

Today's episode was inspired by a recent adventure at Disney University.  I grew up in Florida and a lot of my best childhood memories include the Magic Kingdom.  Disney has always been a special place for me.  I've had my annual pass for 25 years, but this was the first time I drove behind Space Mountain, behind Tron and past all sorts of Disney facilities to check out Disney U!  I had so much fun with this sneak peek, I thought I would offer you a quick behind the scenes glimpse at my business.

✨ How intentional planning can inspire your most meaningful scrapbook pages

In this inspiring episode, hear how my love of planning and list-making has transformed my scrapbooking process — and my life. We're talking about The Big Three, a simple but powerful approach inspired by YouTube creator Muchelle B, where you schedule three non-negotiable activities each month that light you up.

Most of myfavorite scrapbook layouts come from these joyful “Big Three” moments — experiences centered around self-care, creativity, and connection. 


🗓️ Topics Covered

  • The Big Three Game: How scheduling three energizing events a month creates memories worth documenting.

  • Mini Adventures for 2026: Six small adventures (one every two months) to keep life exciting without breaking the bank.

  • The 26 for 2026 Challenge: Completing 26 little “shoulds” before year-end — and declaring yourself a winner after just one!

  • Creative Habits That Support Memory Keeping:

    • Cleaning and backing up phone photos monthly

    • Printing favorites for scrapbook layouts

    • Using tech like the Amazon Echo Show to keep your memories visible

  • Story Spotlight: Tracy’s quirky and heartfelt plans for a girls’ trip to the Circleville Pumpkin Show — a new addition to her mini-adventure list.

  • Behind the Scenes: A sneak peek at the upcoming Bewitched Crafts Digital Planner, featuring prompts and tools to help crafters build creative habits and plan meaningful projects.


💡 Key Takeaways

  • Prioritize joy: Schedule what fills your well — not just what fills your calendar.

  • Small steps matter: Even one completed goal from your “26 for 2026” list counts as a win.

  • Your memories deserve space: Keep photos organized, accessible, and ready for your next scrapbook page.

  • Planning fuels creativity: A few minutes of reflection each month can transform both your energy and your craft.
