Dear reader,
My name is Anna Barnes, the creator of Plan By Blog. I created this site with the intention of inspiring and helping the creative planners, hosts, and organizers of the world. I am the girl that is considered a little bit “extra” when hosting a dinner party or holiday. It’s a love language of its own. I really LOVE to create “extra” special moments for the people I care for. Afterall, we are creating memories here people! I thrive best in my creativity when I stay organized. A sort of peace comes over me when things are easy to find and well thought out. If left unorganized, the many “to-do’s” keep me distracted from the doing part. So I love to get down on a good deep clean and organization to keep things ready for me to take action. I know how overwhelming it can be to make sure a plan comes together just right or to make sure your home stays in order. So, I really wanted to create an inspiring place for those looking for fresh ideas and needing a little help getting started. As my site grows, you’ll find more and more helpful information about hosting, planning, and organization. I’ll be continuing to add some great tools like Workbooks, planners, checklists and pintables to make your planning as fun and painless as possible. I hope to be your resource to go from inspired ideas to memories made! Enjoy my site, and please come back often as it continues to grow. Also, don’t be afraid to say hello!
A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU for being here!
Anna
