Marjolein Bastin 2020 Monthly/Weekly Planner Calendar: Nature's Inspiration Calendar – Engagement Calendar, July 16, 2019

I wasn't looking to purchase a planner, but when I came across this one I couldn't resist. The cover is beautiful (I love Marjolein Bastin's artwork!) and the inside page layout is just like I prefer it to be.Once I received this in the mail I was even more impressed. I love the weight and the size. Each date has adequate space for me to document what I need to. Even more wonderful is that EVERY week has a new beautiful and colorful sketch made by Marjolein Bastin.I am extremely pleased with this planner. The elastic strap to keep it closed is a nice bonus.I am hoping Marjolein comes up with a new planner for 2021, because I will need a new one by then.

This is a beautiful and useful planner. It has gorgeous pictures and writings about nature around the monthly pictures. It has a place for notes and addresses in the back, a small pocket for envelopes, etc. in the front, and plenty of space to write daily. You could use this as a daily nature guide and write your thoughts in it. I am so glad that my oldest son introduced this artist to me many years ago when he was away from home and sent me cards created by her. She has created so much beauty for people.

The is the most delightful Weekly Planner Calendar I have ever seen. Even if you do not appreciate "nature" this calendar may completely change your mind. The pictures are frame-worthy, the captions are a wonderful surprise. Even tho it is already 6-mths into 2020 - I still sat down and read the previous portion and enjoyed the many pictures. This year I may give this as the same Xmas gift to everyone on my list.

I love this artist so my review is going to be biased. Her drawings are so life like that when I touch one I almost expect to feel fur. I like the calendar months in the beginning and the daily part gives me enough room to write apptments or other reminders. If you need a daily planner get one that is pretty, artful, colorful, or full of something that you like. She makes interesting little notes on some of her pics. I love it.

This planner does just what I need it to do. It is the central calendar for my family and sits on the desk in the kitchen. There is enough space for each day for us all to write what is going on and the week-at-a-glance is great. There are pages in the back that allow for making notes about something that may come up in the next year so I can keep track until I get my new one.

I absolutely love all the artwork in this planner, but unfortunately I had to buy a new planner because this one is just not useful!Cons:-Glossy paper so my pens transferred to the opposite page when closed and smeared when touched-Each month in the month layout only gets one page so, for example, January and February are right next to each other. This not only makes it confusing to look at, but it makes the boxes for each day so small that I can't write much in them and I need two lines just to write "Dr. appt 3:30p"-All of the month layouts are together, followed by all of the week layouts - I have to first find the month to see an overview of what I have scheduled for the upcoming month and then I have to flip through half the planner to find the specific week to find details-No tabs - having to flip from month layout to week layout is frustrating enough, but made extremely time consuming because there are no tabs to give any guidancePros:-The artwork is simply beautiful! The little details in the month layouts are adorable and the bigger pictures in the week layouts are stunning! I like the little comments on the pictures that take you into the moment pictured. I will probably re-purpose the pictures and frame them or use them as decoupage or something in a DIY project because they are really so skillfully done

This is the 4th year to buy this monthly planner. I am very pleased with the pictures and the format. My only problem is the elastic band has apparently spent far too long stretched around the book probably in a hot warehouse and has stretched out of shape. You can see from the picture that I took a big pleat in the band on last year's book. I will have to do it again.

This is the most wonderful calendar I've ever had!! The art is truly a joy to look at every day and the day spaces are large enough to write everything in!! Thank you for such a wonderful product!!!

Great illustrations, good quality production. Very nice overall.

Marjolein Bastin' s agendas are gorgeous collections to have....of her absolutely beautiful art work...I collect them....and bought 2 for friends as giftsThe quality of the printing is high - wonderful colour and detail

Normalerweise kaufe ich immer den Aufstellkalender, von dem ich schon sehr begeistert bin, aber auch dieser Kalender ist einfach mit sehr viel Liebe gestaltet und mit wunderschönen Motiven versehen. Kaufe ich jetzt auch jedes Jahr, macht einfach Spaß da reinzuschreiben :-) VG Irina

This is a gorgeous appointment book filled with beautiful illustrations. I order several of these every year for Christmas gifts, and couldn't get through the year without one on my counter beside my phone.

Ich hatte diesen Kalender vor mindestens 15 Jahren schon einmal und musste leider feststellen, dass es exakt der gleiche ist, wie damals, nur in viel schlechterer Papierqualität. Alle Texte in Englisch, deutsche Feiertage und Ferien fehlen. Gedruckt in China. Schade!
