Planner Haul: Erin Condren, Scribble Prints Co, Hello Paper Cat, Planner Penny, Trippin Stitches

Planner Haul!

So - I've been hoarding a few planner items that I've ordered from Erin Condren, Scribble Prints Co, Hello Paper Cat, Planner Penny, and Trippin Stitches.  Please note - I didn't buy this stuff all at once. It's a haul that encompasses a few months of buying and hoarding.

Erin condren had her buy one get one planner cover sale - and of course I just HAD to indulge myself. I did buy 4 - but one is already on my planner because skulls and Halloween. The first one is the Cactus cover, the second is the Watercolor Floral, third being the Blossom cover. The fourth one I got is Sugar Skull cover - here it is on my planner:

I found Trippin Stitches through a facebook group - and her covers are so freakin cute. I had a coupon code and decided to pick up these two. It was end of summer and I couldn't help myself. I love the scales, the colors, and the beachy-ness of it all. 

I snagged this Witch Ultimate Kit during the preorder phase from Scribble Prints Co. I went a little nuts with the Halloween kits for October. This has def got to be one of my favorite kits though - and it's my first step into glossy territory because I've always been a matte girl myself. We'll see how October goes and I'll def be using this kit A LOT.

These adorable magnetic bookmarks and personal sized dashboards are from Hello Paper Cat. Just a little unknown fact about me: I'm a big 'ol nerd. No, seriously you didn't know? Anyway, I saw the Sailor Moon compact magnet somewhere on her Instagram and ended up perusing the website and buying more stuff that I probably didn't need. The magnets I bought are the Sailor Moon Compact, D.Va from Overwatch, Lon Lon Ranch Milk (from Zelda), Steven Universe, and a cute little alpaca. 

Then I had to pick up some personal sized dashboards with D.Va and Steven because I've got a small personal sized recollections that's just dying to be used next year.

July Erin Condren Planner Spreads

July EC Spreads

The month of July was a tumultuous one for me. A LOT of things needed to get done in the month of July to prep for my two week vacation! It's been a bit of a hectic one - as you can see. But the last week a lot of things evened out and although I'm super crazy at work, it's not too terrible but I am DEFINITELY ready for this vacation.

All of the weekly kits are from LittleMissPaperie and the cute Japan countdown stickers are ones I specifically requested from KPL Plans. She now has them on her etsy store so you can buy them too!

I've reached the point of no return - it's time to try mini binders from Target to try and organize my sticker collection. (the ball is still out on how to organize my continually growing washi collection) For this project I did the only thing I could do: Drive to target and spend more $$.

Sticker Haul - Papered Kiss and KPL Plans

Sticker Haul - Papered Kiss and KPL Plans

On Mother's Day I went a little buckwild for Papered Kisses Mother's Day sale, and then (of course) I requested a custom countdown set for my trip to Japan. So softly after Mother's day I had a TON of stickers coming in. (I still have more on the way, they just didn't make it in time!) This is my first purchase from both stores and I am pleasantly surprised! Please note: I bought all these stickers with my own money. I have a fly money fly moment for sticker sales. Whoops!

December Erin Condren Planner Layouts

December Erin Condren Planner Layouts

This month was the first month I've actually had to begin decorating my Erin Condren Horizontal planner. And I went kinda ham - and really enjoyed decorating my planner every week!

December Week 1 

December Week 2

December Week 3

December Week 4

Most of the things I used to decorate my planner were from the Dollar section at target! I did however find one Christmas Set from Rorys Sweet Addictions on Etsy that was really cute and I did use a lot of it.
I hauled a massive amount of washi/deco tape from the dollar store and couldn't stay away from the puffy stickers even though I tried REALLY hard. Either way - I'm really happy with how most of these turned out.

Erin Condren Planner Overview

Erin Condren Planner Overview

Recently I've decided to take my organization that I mentioned in this month's Blogging Advice to a whole different level. You all know that I use a $3 planner from the Target to keep myself organized, but I've decided to up the ante a little bit. 
Introducing my new Erin Condren Planner:

The cover I decided on was the Prism Metallic Gold cover. It took me awhile to decide but I did finally choose this cover because it is the one that stood out the most to me when I was originally looking. They have a ton of different LifePlanners to choose from, and a lot of them are customizable so you can put your own name on your own cover!

Blogging Advice: Organization

I was sitting on my office the other day (ya know, at work) and thinking about ALL that I have learned in the little over a year+ I've been blogging. One thing that I definitely didn't have a grasp on until recently is ORGANIZATION.

I have been able to organize and plan an entire month of blog posts just my keeping myself organized on on a schedule! My planner is my lifesaver. I write everything I could possibly need in it, from blog posts to chat topics (and questions) for both the #USBloggerChat and the #bdibNA. I also include other things like appointments I have to keep and deadlines for projects at work!

This is a quick sneak peek of what my planner looks like weekly!
