MORE LDS PRIMARY PRINTABLES {HERE}
I'm so excited about this printable!!!
{My poor husband... I've made him listen to me and look at it all week!}
This is the first planner/calendar I've designed and it certainly won't be the last! I specifically created this one for Primary Presidencies to use each month as they plan, organize and juggle all of their responsibilities. After digging through a year's worth of meeting agendas and notes (and consulting with some super cool people)... I began sketching the layout last October and am THRILLED it's finally ready!! I have tweaked, adjusted, fixed, fussed and redone it until it was perfect. Well... perfect for how I think about, organize my thoughts and manage my calling in Primary and I hope it works for many of you too. I've been super excited to share it on my blog - and even more excited to give it to my Presidency this weekend!
Here's how it works... each month has a two page planning spread and I've hopefully made a space for nearly every aspect of running an efficient Primary. Everything from staying on top of baptisms and advancements to specific needs in classes, Cub Scouts, Activity Days and music. There's even a reminder to turn in expenses, a spot to record who/what to pray for, thoughts/ideas for the current month, and plans for next. Monthly scriptures and themes + Sharing Time assignments, to do lists and more. There is also an annual calendar in the front, with mini monthly calendars on each 2 page spread for easy reference. I added several blank pages to the end before I had mine bound to make extra space for general notes, planning and special projects.
Take care when you print as you'll need to print double sided for it to function like a planner. When you hit print, look through your print options/properties and choose double sided or duplex printing. Your printer will print odd pages first, prompt you to reload the printed paper, then will print even pages on the back. I kept the cover page as a separate document so it wouldn't confuse the printer. I printed the inside pages all on regular white paper, but printed the cover sheets on card stock. I cut out the cover image, then mounted it on turquoise card stock and laminated for durability I have a plain laminated turquoise sheet as the back cover as well. You could also just double side print the planner pages and punch for a binder.
And yes. I am a freak and it coordinates with all of my other printables for 2013 Primary.
By the way, lots of pins and kind comments make it fun for me to continue creating and sharing. ;)

Lots of love from CA
This makes me miss being in the presidency!! DANG!! SUPER CUTE AND SO ORGANIZED!! I can't wait to see what other planners you have up your sleeve!!
ReplyDeleteYou're actually making me want to be in the Primary Presidency again and I've been out of Primary for years! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese make me want to be in a Primary presidency...almost. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! And I am a primary president :o) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteColette this is fantastic! This would be perfect for YW as well, which I would love to have! You are so kind and generous to share so much of your hard work and talent with us!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Labor of Love. I am the Primary Pres in my Ward and going to make these up for my Presidency. Thank You for so generously Sharing of Your Time and Talent with all of Us. I was also so excited to find your 2013 Door Signs. You're Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! You did a fabulous job! Now...just do one for Relief Society :) Thank you for your efforts and for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteColette...You are amazing and this book is amazing...thanks for sharing your genius!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!! We just had a presidency meeting tonight and I am so going to share these next time we meet! Thanks for sharing this with us!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI just came back from Officemax just in the nick of time. We're having our breakfast planning meeting tomorrow and I have all of these printed out and ready. Thank you again!
xo, Claire
Very cute and fun. I'm not a Primary President but I think I can still put it to use, I've taken up the calendar journal idea this year, might use it for that! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing! I love your stuff! You are so sweet to share so much with us! Thank you, thank you, thank you! <3
ReplyDeleteHoly cow--this is INCREDIBLE! You are awesome!!! I can't wait to print these out! (I have to finish my bulletin boards first--ha ha!)
ReplyDeleteJust printed these to give to my Presidency on Sunday! So excited! Super cute and even better, they have everything we need to stay organized! Thank you so much for all your hard work.... LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Too bad I just got released as President a couple months ago. This would have made my crazy life a bit more organized on the Primary front.
ReplyDeleteColette, this idea is wonderful and you did a great job of putting this together! And you've offered this for free, what a gift! I too would love to have one for YW- in all your spare time of course! Ha thanks for all you do to help us out :)
ReplyDeleteAs a primary president, I can attest to how helpful this is. THank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThis is AMAZING! I too would love one for YW! or maybe even an editable page that we can use as a template that we could edit and do the changing ourselves? I am now a fan and am following you on pointerest and FB too :) Thanks for sharing your talents!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing. I am the Primary President, and I hope to be a lot more organized this year, especially with this planner. I was wondering if it would be all right if I made a few slight modifications to the pages myself: made a spot for the weekly sharing time theme/lesson, probably in the "To do" spot. I am in a very small branch, our Primary is the biggest group in everyone, 12 kids and only 3 teachers (myself and my counselors) so this is just amazing for us. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis printout is fantastic, you are super tallented lady! Thank you for sharing, it will be put to good use!
ReplyDeleteDiane
WOW! Love this! Too bad I'm not in primary. I am in the YW's. Any chance you could put one together for YW's? I just read through the comments and it looks like there are many others wanting it too. Your work is beautiful! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much for sharing your talent. You are a life saver.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your generosity in sharing your talents. I love this stuff and I never have time to do it myself so it is so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I just got called to be the secretary, this helps so much!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis ia an amazing tool you have provided. I have served in the primary presidency as 2nd counselor for 2 years and was called as president 4 months ago. My goal was to be more organized this year and your beautiful planner will assist me tremendously. Thank you so much for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly wonderful!!!! Thank you so much was recently called as primary president! This will help our presidency meetings be so much more effective!!!! Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Loved it! It's perfect!! Any chance of you doing it in Portuguese? I could help you with the translation!!!

I love this but since I am not in Primary I sent your link to all my friends that are.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had a RS one That I would print off and use for sure.
Amazing!!This will help me more than you even know!
ReplyDeletePerfect!! Thank you so much. Can't wait to get started.
ReplyDeleteWow! You included everything. Thank you so much! This will help me be much more organized this year.
ReplyDeleteI am possibly the least organized Primary President that has ever been called, but this is something that will change my life!! THANK YOU from the BOTTOM of my cluttered HEART!! You are so incredibly talented and are so generous to share your AMAZING creation with us!!
ReplyDeleteWow Colette you are amazing... for your hard work and wanting to share it with the rest of us. Please know that we all appreciate what you do, everywhere in the world!
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Nicaragua :)
Holy cow.....you are AMAZING!!! I wish I had half the talent you have. Thank you, thank you, thank you SO much for sharing everything with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you .... thank you from the Primary Presidency in San Pedro Ca. Heavenly Father has really blessed you with this gift and we thank you for sharing a piece with us !!!!! Super amazing super talented .... thank you for your hours of labor and love on our behalf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much for making this! I am only 2 yrs as the primary pres and I still can't get orginazed. This will help out so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your talent with others not so fortunate in this area. I was just called to be the Primary President and I need this so much.
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with this! What a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteNow one request for you...like you, I am OCD about things matching! So here is my request...a piece of stationary using the same background and elements, with I Am A Child of God on the top. We need something for our spotlight. We are doing a different kind of spotlight in our Primary this year. Each week we choose one child who will come to the front and be showered with compliments - one from the presidency, one from their parent, and 3 from children in the primary (We are trying to teach the children how to love and appreciate each other since they are all children of God). We are then going to write down their compliments and give it to them to keep, and of course I want something cute to write them on! If you don't have time I totally understand, just thought i'd throw it out there!
I love this so much!! I'm the YW Secretary in my ward, I think you should make you specifically for Young Womens ;) That would be SO awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing. I am a new President and this just seemed perfect for the new year. I got them printed and bound for my counselors. I can't wait to be so organized this year!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! You are truly an amazing and talented woman! Thank you for being willing to share this with others!
ReplyDeleteI am curious if you have the bookmarks in black and white? I love the colors, but it would be nice if we could get more to a page and in black and white for printing on colored cardstock. I have a primary of 150 kids and printing only 4 to a page is just not an option. (I have tried combining two printed pages, but printing in black and white makes the yellow type invisible.) Please consider it? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, Genny... what a cute idea!! Can't say it'll happen quick, but I definitely put it on my list. A coordinating stationary or spotlight sheet is a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteawesome awesome awesome! thank you!

Thank you,
Sister Smith
