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 (=

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

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
