  1. Hi Ladies,

    This is Susie of The Busy Woman, Inc. We sold out of this set, but The Busy Woman’s Daily Planners are on clearance right now. You can still get the basic Busy Woman Basics. I hope this is okay to post. I just didn’t want the readers to be upset when they got a 404 error page.

    Blessings and Peace,

    Susie

I’ve been searching for a new organizer (after all, only three months left in the calendar year!), but hadn’t yet found one I *had* to have. If I don’t win your giveaway (please, oh please, oh please pick me!), I’m going to order one. What a great product.

    Fabulous giveaway, ladies!
