Paper clips, Stickers and Erin Condren!!

     So it's been slow happy mail this week!  I'm waiting on a few things to come in. But I'm running out of things to order!!

 

     And we all know my daughter left for Disney last night and surprising enough I did just fine. My son on the other hand looks like someone stole his cookie last night when he was going to bed he is 11 and actually admitted to missing his sister already (someone write that down) cause he will never admit it again!!

 

     So last week I received some lovely stickers from an Etsy store called Stickerific I only ordered a set of Mermaids and a set of Piggies! I got the Pigs to start tracking my savings and who doesn't love a good Mermaid! They came to $6.85 and she has a 10% off coupon code going right now. and she sent me a whole extra sheet plus little samples!

 

     Next I got a set of Paper clips from Howecute4you they all came to $6.50 with shipping (she has since raised her prices up $.50) but it's still a great deal I lust LOVE them even though I don't really use them I cant stop ordering them!! Really, look at them aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen with their glitter and bows! And they are so well made!

 

Finally I got in a custom order I done with PlantasticPlanning Since I'm having some dental work done Monday and I will be then working from home for about a month I needed something to keep track on the day's I do that with. She was really fast about shipping also and they match my other day off stickers!

 

All of these Etsy Sellers have coupon codes going on and they have them posted on their IG pages

Erin Condren, Bows, and Mystery Mail!

What a great combination! This week is going to be frantic. My 13 year old daughter is going on a 8th grade field trip to Disney World. It is her first time out of the state without relatives with her and I'm a little freaked out. Like what if she get's lost or left, what if she looses her money or what if someone is mean to her or tried to snatch her up!! (great now I'm worst!) Also this coming Monday I'm having some dental work done so that should be fun (said no one ever!)

This week I received some bows for my planner. Someone on IG told me about them and it was such a great deal they are here on Amazon it's a 17 pack for $18.95 and who can beat that!!. They are a little big so I just had to tie them behind the bow but they work great!

 

And look at it on my awesome planner! once again the cover was custom from TheClassyPlanner for only $13.95 shipped!! and I found the picture on Pintrest by searching Kate Spade Quotes

 

 

Also this week a wonderful lady I follow on IG had a Mystery Bundle sale in her Etsy shop and I my self love surprises so I had to snatch me up one! Her shop is ThePlannerJunkie it was $14.50 including shipping. One of the sets I already had from her earlier so that was a bummer but all in all I loved it and have since purchased another one

 

 

And here is my week

Of course I got most of the stickers from TwoLilBees and the Disney stickers are from DavidsMommyDesigns the washi tape is from PlannerKate1 and the cute little coil clip in the middle is from StickeBeans Most of them have coupons on their IG pages so please check them out!!

New Erin Condren Kate Spade Cover!

So the other day I received my cover that I ordered that took like a month from the time I paid for the listing to the time I got it and the quality was not all that great. I wish she would of told me "Hey the quality sucks when you blow it up for a cover!" but she didn't )= I'm not going to show a pic of it or anything just incase you can tell where it came from. o and she raised her prices also so that done it for me. Time to look for another Etsy store to make covers and I found one! TheClassyPlanner

So while goofing off on Pintrest for half of the day I came across the cutest Kate Spade Quote and I thought man this would make the cutest cover! And since I found a new Etsy cover person I sent it to her and hopped that the quality came out good and it looked nice. So after I sent it to her and paid for the listing I received the proof THE NEXT DAY!!! and it was shipped THE NEXT DAY!!  So I ordered this on March 3rd and received it on March 9th that's less than a week later compared to a month later. I even has a few modifications!

the Etsy shop is TheClassyPlanner and it was only $13.95 with shipping. I'm so in love with it and honestly might not order another for a while. Is that not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!?

 

 

Needless to say I will always buy from her now!

 

And here is my week this week. By far my cutest week. Of course the stickers are from TwoLilBees because she is the best!

Erin Condren Week 5

     Not much this week, waiting on some happy mail to get to me and I think I found a new Etsy store to get Erin Condren Covers from. I sent her my picture and ordered the listing she sent me a proof the next day and I approved it and then she mailed it the day after!!! I'll let ya'll know how it looks and post her store and picture of the cover when I get it (=

     But for now this is what I got so far this week. A set from MareBearCrafts I love her little car payment and bill due flags and her monthly sets as I have not seen sets like hers anywhere on Etsy. And she always throws in a few little extra's! the shipping is a tad slower then what I like or I am just to excited to get it I think it takes to long  (= but I will defiantly buy from her again and again!

 

     And this is my week so far not a lot going on since I just came back from out of town and there is storms up in the north east it's been crazy at work. But I got the donut stickers from Hobby Lobby and flag and Google+ stickers from MareBearCrafts , the cupcake and planner stickers from TwoLilBees and the circle sticker are from the Erin Condren sight for only $5.00 the sticker is a picture of Pixie my sisters dog, it's her Birthday this week! I think the customized picture stickers are a great way to keep track of birthday's. until next week!

 

 

P.S next week is my FAVORITE layout so far!!

O, Erin Condren you will be the death of my bank Account!

So last week I was in Florida for a work conference and isn't Florida the sunshine state? Well I guess not! because the whole time we were there it was cloudy and rainy and COLD!! But it was nice to come home to LOT'S of planner mail. Here is some of what I got (because I was so excited I forgot to take pictures)

Of Course there is A Lot of stuff from Two Lil Bees I mean her stuff is AMAZING! I really almost have the whole collection!

 

 

 

Next up is some stuff I received from Mare Bear Crafts the shipping time is a little slow but I do love her stuff. She has some great monthly themes and I have one way I use them. Since I don't like to stick with a monthly theme during the weeks I use her for my monthly layout page. And she made me little Google+ stickers!!!

 

I also ordered some paperclips. She really got me when she posted that they were limited edition and when they are gone they are gone. I mean really if I don't order now I may never be able to get them again!!!!! She is amazing and very talented! and she included some happy mail!! her Etsy shop is Craftin' Chaos Please check her out!

 

Finally this is my Week (last week) and it turns out it was my Birthday week and since I was in Florida for a work Conference I did not really have time to jot stuff down in it. )=

 

And finally is my Give Away on IG. So my daughter I guess has a lot more confidence in me then IG does cause she came up with a great idea to have a Give Away and mind you I only have like 39 followers. She posted it and I think it's only been shared maybe 1 time )= o well at least that one person has a solid chance of winning LOL If anyone reads this go check it out! So I don't look like a total loser to my kid (=

Paper Clips!

So I'm sitting here watching the weather and it is supposed to snow WTH. I hate snow that's the reason that I do not like in the north for reasons like this. Why couldn't this have happened next week when I'm in Florida? Yeah so I'm going to Florida next week for a work conference and I'm really excited lol! yeah, I get excited about silly things. I've also not been on an airplane since I was maybe 9 or 10! Lame I know!

So this past week I've gotten a lot of mail. I wont post them all because some of what I got was really bad quality so I wont recommend you buy them (I know because so many people read this blog LOL) First up are these AWESOME paperclips. I got them from two different people and I have to say I love them especially the Starbucks cup with my name on it! One is from en Etsy shop QueenBJewels  it's a cute little coffee cup for $2.25 love the glitter on it! The other is a set of 4 and it is from CraftinChaos and that set was $12.50 and she allows you to customize them a little bit. Like the color of the hair and to add your name to the cup!

 

I also ordered and received some Erin Condren custom stickers to use as Birthday reminders, (That's my little sister!)

 

Also on that page are tooth stickers for up coming orthodontist appointments for my daughter and I got some other stickers from the same Etsy shop AFancyK The sticker set range from about $3.50 and up. Not the brightest color maybe because they print on matted paper but I love the teeth and grocery bag stickers!

 

Last thing I received was a lot of post it's from an eBay shop called ginger*jujusmile10 I do not think anything is over $1.99 and most of what I bought was under $1.00. who can beat that! It dose take a couple of weeks to ship but for the price and free shipping it's a great deal! I've also seen them for sell in some Etsy shops and the WLEC Facebook page for quite a bit more, and right now they have over 500 sets to choose from!

 

 

Last is my Weekly layout. I did show this last week but I've added to it because frankly it looked very boring. Not that it looks better I just sort of put a bunch of random stuff on it! But my upcoming weeks are really awesome!

Erin Condren Planner Goodies!

I'm trying to just post once a week so I don't overwhelm myself but I've received so much mail this week that I had to share some stuff! I'm starting to get into this planner craze! I went to Target yesterday and forgot Pancakes' food (Pancakes is our rabbit) and when I got home and realized it my first thought was "Man I should of wrote it down in my planner"  so anyways here is some of the things that I have received this week.

1st is my awesome new cover! it's from an Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/transaction/262760511 and her Instagram name is Evelyn_Lane_Designs they are really great quality and she is super friendly and will keep sending you proofs until your totally satisfied. And the best thing is she can customize it with ANYTHING! I got the front and back cover and then a dashboard to match! I really love it. And I've already ordered another one.

 

 

The next things that I got are from a totally new shop on Etsy which I'm so in love with now. it's such great quality and from what I can tell it's one of the only ones on there where you can get a weekly layout with big stickers not just the stickers to go into the boxes. I love that and hers are so sticken cute! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TwoLilBeesCo  and her Instagram name is twolilbees

 

 

I mean really how cute are those!! Here is a sample of her layout with the cute stickers! The beat thing about her shop is when I ordered anything I had it in two day's I mean come-on! there are some stickers I ordered like 10 - 15 day's ago and I'm still waiting on them!

 

 

Next up is the washi tape I bought One is from Etsy and they are just cut washi that fit's into the squares perfectly! I got a set and then a sample grab bag I was very happy with the choices her Etsy shop is https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1001644417 and her Instagram name is Planner_Kate

 

 

I also got this washi tape from http://www.washifairygodmother.com/ and her Instagram name is Washifairygodmother She has so many choices and little sets that go together I just love the shop! And almost EVERYTHING is only $1.00 you cant beat that

 

And finally here is my next week. I'm leaving for a work conference on Sat. to Florida (so excited!!) And I found the Florida travel stickers at Hobby Lobby on clearance! And I made the black stickers with my flight info. I go the project life card form Hobby Lobby also and on the back has all of the things I need to pack. Of course I'll add in more this weekend but so far that's all I have (=

 



O and my instagram is MichelleCarrier  FOLLOW ME! 

 

 

 

 

 

Shopping Hauls

So I have figured out that I can't not buy things for my planner! I really need to start organizing so that I can get things to match because I feel like I'm all over the place with it right now. I found some great deals this weekend at the stores and of course on Etsy!

 

So this is what I received from a great shop on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/shekphoebe

And every order comes with a free gift **how cool is that!** now it takes a little bit for shipping since it's overseas but my free gift was the masking tape photo frames!

My favorite things that I ordered was the character tapes!

I mean how cute are those! I have already ordered more and at only $2.69 a piece you really can't beat the price they also have some pet ones and coffee ones

 

Next up is my haul from Target! and man do I get into trouble at Target they have everything. I really only went there for Sandwich baggies and came out with

I found the pencils, ribbon and some of the sticky notes in the $1 bin. but let me tell you I think everyone else who I see has Target's with awesome $1 bins cause this is literally all ours had for planners )=  I got the washi tape and holder with I think might of been a impulse buy cause I'm not sure how much I'll use it and the holder was $9.99 so that might not of been a great decision but then there is the bows!! I have seen these everywhere and thought o wow those are cute! most places on Etsy sell them for $1.00 or more and I have found some cutouts on Google but then I saw these booklets they are just punch outs and there is color/print on each side. I think they were $3.99 and you can make up to 12 bows

Next is what I got from Hobby Lobby not much just stickers, I cant wait to use the fiesta ones!!

 

And here is my week, it's not much. As I said I still need to get organized with my buying to it all matches. I just got over excited with buying stuff and not all of my purchases from Etsy and EBay have gotten here yet.

The layouts will get better, I promise (=



Hello Again! My new Erin Condren Life Planner

Well it's been quite a while. I'll try to do better this time. so since I've been gone I've gotten a awesome job! My name tag say's Division Administrative Assistant! Yeah I just keep everyone organized (= So my day's of being a stay at home mom and the president of the PTO are long gone.

So last week I received my new Erin Condren Life Planner! After you order one you will learn how much patience you have! They usually take about a month to receive. Well I have none! I check the tracking number very often. And in the meantime I Goggled how everyone decorates theirs and where they order their supplies from. Of course I started ordering all kinds of stuff to come to the realization that nothing I have been ordering matched at all. I noticed that your weeks have to be color coded and all the same so it looks pretty so I'm working with what I have. it will get better and prettier as we go.

 

So that's what was on my desk when I came back from lunch! So exciting but I knew it was coming because I checked the tracking code every hour!

 

 

And this is what was in the box, sorry the picture sucks )=  I got the planner and then the Happy New You Clutch. I think it was a great buy, although it came with two Forget me Not books. One with the planner and one with the clutch which I'm giving one to my sister. I wish it would of came with some pens or something but...

 

Week 1

 

I got the washi tape, Project life card, and the stickers from Hobby Lobby

 

I got the sticky note flags from an awesome Etsy shop called stickysuccess

https://www.etsy.com/shop/stickysuccess?ref=l2-shopheader-name

I also ordered some masking tape and she included some cute paper clips for me too!

 

 

And I made the big stickers myself with the help of Belinda Selene (planner goddess)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmJLfy3KZfQ

She has lots of great idea's

 

I also ordered coil clips from Etsy instead of the EC sight 1. because they were out of stock on EC and 2. the deal is better on Etsy
