I am a member of quite a few Facebook groups and it dawned on me that many folks out there who are interested in planning/journaling may not know about all of them. This by no means an exhaustive list as I had to draw the line somewhere (there are hundreds of groups). If your group was left out of this list just post a link in the comments section.
These are, for the most part, closed groups - which means you need to join them to see all the content. Some of the groups are shops and are not closed, you just need to 'like' them to follow them. Facebook groups are an excellent way to find out about resources, tricks, trades, swaps, RAK's, and new products that are out there. If you are a cottage business on Etsy or some other site, FB groups can be an excellent way to advertise your business. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and a look at the groups and see what you think. It is important to note that, with the exception of the first group (which is mine), the groups are listed in NO particular order.
1. The first group is mine...it is all about inserts for traveler type notebooks.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/InsertsInsertsInsertsForTravelersNotebooks/

5. The Bullet Journal Junkies group is one of my favorite. This is a sweet, kind group that gives a lot of latitude about what you can post. The group is specific to bullet journaling but has an amazing wealth of knowledge about all kinds of things.

The resources and inspiration on this group is great. The owner of this group, Eileen Kim, is someone who I admire and follow. She has talent and ideas that keep the group fresh.

I am forever grateful to him for that. If you want to know what is going on in the world of TN's like his group, and subscribe to his blog. When I get his emails, I grab a cup of coffee, pull up my chair and dive in to the crazy wealth of resources in a concise, neat list.
49. Last but not least is a new group of mine called The Planner Social Club. We are a bunch of people who love planning, planners, life, struggles, triumphs and this is a place to share anything with other like-minded planner addicts...being nice is the only requirement to join :-).
