Welcome!

Hey Friend! Thanks for joining me here at The Dixie Lady. I’m Candace. I have a degree in accounting and have worked in the financial industry for 13 years. I love planning and helping people get their lives under control. 

This site was created to help and inspire you to take control of your life. I love all things crafty. Whether it is creating stickers on my Cricut or creating new planner inserts, you can bet I’m having fun. What I love more is connecting with others, so make sure and leave lots of comments! I want to hear from you!

What to Expect?

I try to post new articles at least twice per month. If you want get an email when my new posts drop, just subscribe to me email list and you will get the newsletter to be the first to know about new articles.

I have a passion for planners and money management. I have used so many different planners and yet never find just what I am looking for, this is the reason I started making my printables. I love creating printable and I am adding new printables to the Free Resources page all the time, so make sure and Subscribe to get your FREE ACCESS!
