    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    For the past couple of years, I have created free printable goal lists to celebrate the new year. As I was brainstorming the design of this year’s goal list, I realized that it’s the things you do day to day that actually help you achieve your goals! That’s why, instead of a goal list, I created a printable weekly planner. I want to help you focus on daily organization in order to achieve success!

    The Design

    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    There are a lot of printable weekly planners out there, and most (all?) of them have a computerized feel to them. I wanted this one to stand out with hand-drawn illustrations! After a bit of deliberation, I decided on a plant theme.

    Plants are all about growth. If you consistently provide them with the elements they need to survive, they thrive! I hope that when you see these plants on your printable to-do list, you remember to do the same for yourself. Take care of yourself, and give your time to activities and causes that help you to grow as well!

    How to Use the Printable Weekly Planner

    First, print out a few copies of the printable weekly planner. You might consider printing out four at a time, so you have a month’s worth.

    Next, if you want to, you can cut out the planner along the solid outside rectangle. This will give you an 8″ x 10″ (203 mm x 254 mm) planner that’s perfect for framing or displaying on a bulletin board!

    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    I always start filling out my planner on a Monday. The very first thing I do is write down my top three goals for the week. They don’t have to be lofty goals! You can write down things that you’ve been putting off and would like to keep on your radar. (For example: that “Organize hall closet” is a real — and very intimidating — goal of mine!)

    Free Illustrated Printable Weekly Planner | The Postman's Knock

    Next, go through and fill in all the dates (e.g. MONDAY, “Jan. 2”; TUESDAY, “Jan. 3”; WEDNESDAY, “Jan. 4”, etc.). How you do things next is up to you: I like checklists, so I populate my weekly planner with checklist items day by day. So, on a Monday, I write a list and try to complete it throughout the day. On a Tuesday, I write a new list and try to complete that throughout the day. This goes on for the whole week.

    Monday through Friday features larger rectangles with ample lines for you to write on. Saturday and Sunday, however, are smaller with less lines. My hope is that the size differences encourages you to “let loose” and spend the weekend relaxing!

    Download Information

    You can find the free printable weekly planner by clicking here! You are welcome to print it out as many times as you need to … ideally, you’ll use it all year (52 times), and it will help you to achieve your overall goals for 2017. If you’d like to supplement your weekly planner with a year-focused goal list, check out last year’s Printable Goal List with Botanical Border! It has a botanical theme that goes beautifully with the plant theme of this year’s printable.

    I sincerely hope that you enjoy this New Year free printable, and that 2017 brings every good thing possible to you and yours! You deserve the best, and I’m proud to count you as a reader.

    Warmly,

    Lindsey's Signature | The Postman's Knock

    Thank you, Lindsey, for the lovely example for a weekly planner. While i already have a regular planner (with nice Rhodia paper!), your planner is perfect for posting on the wall for those weeks when a big event or party is coming up. I intend to use the basics of your planner, but try to do the lettering myself.

    All the best,

    Sharon

Just back in the TPK Supplies Shop: Finetec Arabic Just back in the TPK Supplies Shop: Finetec Arabic Gold watercolor pans (and the fabulous Finetec Golds palette). ✨ Gold makes *anything* gorgeous, but use it to make a calligraphy medallion, and it’s just next-level. 🤩 (Tutorial for this particular medallion can be found in the Dancing Pen Calligraphy Medallions Worksheet Set). 

To find the golds + the worksheet, visit the link in my bio, then navigate to “Shop”. Happy weekend!

Hard to fit everything in, but this was 2025 in a Hard to fit everything in, but this was 2025 in a nutshell at TPK! 🥜

This year, I loved teaching at @thehappyevercrafter’s Workshop Week and participating in @calmingcalligraphy’s World Calligraphy as Meditation Day. And seeing the TPK calligraphy kit featured in @newyorkermag’s 2025 holiday gift guide was an unexpected (and delightful) cherry on top! 🍒

So much of what happened over the past year, though, was shaped by the TPK Premium community. Their questions and feedback helped guide Hand Lettering 101, while their encouragement fueled tutorials on topics ranging from turning red wine into calligraphy ink to illustrating recipes, painting with a wedge brush, and creating greeting cards and envelope art. 💌 That same support made it possible to create new worksheets and resources that others were able to enjoy as well, which I’m very grateful for. 

For a fuller recap (with helpful links and details) I shared a 2025 reflection on the TPK blog (link in bio).

✨ A little comparison today … because not all ✨ A little comparison today ... because not all golds behave the same.

✦ Finetec gold → bright, cheerful, and versatile
✦ Greenleaf & Blueberry faux brass → softer, muted, and stunning
✦ Yasutomo pale gold → velvety, subtle shimmer with a sensible amount of sparkle

I love having all three on hand and choosing based on the feel I want for a project. It’s tough to go wrong! ✨

The poppies are just an elegant way to add personality and elegance to any paper good. If you’re a TPK Premium member, *definitely* check out Lesson 6 of the Beginner’s Modern Calligraphy Online Course (2025 version). In it, you’ll find a detailed video demonstration that shows you how to bring these poppies to life! ✍️

✨Chic Inky Poppies Mail Art✨ – This inky poppy ✨Chic Inky Poppies Mail Art✨ - This inky poppy motif is one of my all-time favorites for filling blank space with drama and elegance. To make it, you use dark ink smudges, loose leaves, and airy petals to build a border that looks intricate but comes together quickly. My go-tos for this style are sumi ink and a touch of gold watercolor for warmth. 

Want to try it yourself? Visit the TPK website (link in bio) and search for “Chic Inky Poppies Mail Art Tutorial.” Happy creating! 🌸🖋️
