Orange Circle Studio 2019 Take Me with You Planner, Stacy H. Kim Alice in Wonderland

I buy one every year because they are the best! They hold up to my mommy life too

Cute planner on the inside and outside but it came in looking pretty dinged up and the covers are a bit bent and out of shape despite there being an extra plastic cover on it in the amazon box.

I love the size and its durability! Great item!

As soon as my teenage daughter saw the Orange Circle Studio 2019 Take Me With You Planner with Mia Charro’s luscious illustrations sitting on my kitchen table, she immediately asked if she could have it. I was honestly surprised because it's the first time she's ever wanted any kind of planner. But the eye-catching little book struck a chord with her and she enthusiastically declared that she would use it for writing down homework assignments. As she enters high school, who can argue? This is music to my ears. It also solidifies the Take Me With You Planner as a 5 star product given it won over my picky kid who normally is attached to her tablet much of the time.It's a well-organized, feng shui book that's visually enticing and easy to hold with it's linen-textured cover. The binding looks sewn in and sturdy, and I think will be able to sustain lots of use without compromising structural integrity. It's an attractive, handy planner that provides ample space for writing pertinent information. One can easily leaf through the quality smooth-stocked pages for notes and references without getting confused or lost. It’s a well planned planner that is interspersed by Charro’s enchanting botanical graphics. There are also fun, artsy sayings such as, “Nature’s Beauty Never Goes Out Of Style”.In addition to the utilitarian function of planning, the back of the little book is loaded with list making goodies and blank spaces for whatever strikes your fancy. This includes “Things To Learn”, “Books To Read”, “Movies To See” etc.. You can effortlessly flip through and find the month you need. The convenient 4.5" x 6.25” size fits in a standard purse or backpack without issue. Because of the vibrant colors that adorn the cover along with gold ink, it’s easy to locate and retrieve. It also looks great on my daughter’s new desk and adds visual interest to her updated modern/pseudo minimalist decor.Overall, this is an excellent product and a good investment for a more organized life.~ Kort

If you want a paperback calendar that you can carry around in most purses, bookbags, or backpacks, this is a great choice. It is small and compact yet made out of sturdy material on the cover.Inside each month has a different color palate that makes it lovely to look at. The layout is a bit odd. One month has the week laid out in a grid of 8 near squares while the next month will have 4 horizontal rows in two columns. I think the column and row layout of February, April, June, September, and November has more room to write than the square layout for January, March, May, July, August, October, and December.The front pages have calendars for all of 2018 and 2019 which is nice for planning ahead. Likewise January 1-5, 2019, have space in the calendar.At the end of each month is a page for writing whatever you want; the beginning of each month is a 2-page layout for it. at the end of the book are several pages marked for "Highlights of the Year," "Things to Do, Places to Visit," "Movies to See," "Books to Read," Restaurants to Try," "Things to Learn," and several untitled but lined pages. Other than the "Highlights" and the blank pages, I feel like the other categories would make more sense in the beginning of the planner.

I got hooked on Orange Circle Studio Calendars in July 2017. I was in a New Seasons Grocery Store in Oregon, USA and found their 2017-2018 calendar and it was exactly what I needed in my life. I had gone thru some major life changes and need to start using a paper calendar again like I used to in the 1980’s and 1990’s. I was sick of using my iPhone for my calendar and missing appointments and just not being able to see a whole week and whole month of time. I missed scribbling notes, almost like a diary of my year and my life. The 2017-2018 calendar was well-worn by middle of 2018 (1 year of use), but actually held up really well getting tossed around on my desk and in my purse.So fast forward to 2018. I was so ready to get my 2019 calendar going and I was anticipating the release of Orange Circle Studio calendars. I’ve been an Amazon Vine reviewer for over a decade and I was thrilled to get the opportunity to try a bunch of Orange Circle Studio Calendars. As an Amazon Vine reviewer, I get the products free and in return I provide an unbiased review of the product. My reviews are totally honest and I am in no way compensated to say good things about the products. All I get in return is to keep the product.So I got several Orange Studio Calendars and I really like this one. I am giving to a good friend for her birthday in December. I think giving these as gifts is a special thing to do for people. Most of us have gone away from paper calendars and most people would not buy them for themselves. But I think most people would use a paper calendar if they had one. This one is so compact and easy to carry in a purse or backpackI don’t think you can go wrong with any of the Orange Studio Calendars - they are all wonderful and it’s so great to have such a good choice of paper calendars!These are printed in China which is really sad. I live in Portland, Oregon and in the 1990’s there used to be so many high-quality printing companies in the city, but they have all mostly shut down, including a lot of the paper mills in the area. The Orange Studio Calendars are really high-quality and I can tell they’ve been doing their press-checks and quality control. Our whole society has moved to China printing, so it’s difficult for me to “ding” a publisher with a reduced star rating because of this. I am giving this product a well-deserved 5-star rating!

Just as described weekly planner from January to December, 2019. Beautiful graphics and great quality. The small size is perfect for carrying in handbags for school and work, as it does not take up much room.
