ERIN CONDREN STICKERS!

Good Afternoon friends!

In anticipation of the arrival of my Erin Condren (EC) Life Planner, I have been busy wearing my fingers down to nubs making stickers. Stickers galore! So many stickers! I love deep quotes over semi-transparent images - you know, the tumblr kind... So I have made 50 of those images into stickers perfectly formatted to fit your in your EC!

These stickers are 25 per an 8.5 x 11 page, with narrow margins of 0.5 in. around all the edges. Each sticker is 1.5 x 1.9 in. Print these out on a full page of label or sticker paper from any office supply store or print them out on plain printer paper and use however you would like, some cutting required ;)

ENJOY!

I DID IT!

Okay, so I did it - I ordered an Erin Condren Life Planner!

I have been swooning over these planners for as long as I can remember, I think they are absolutely gorgeous and so much thought and planning goes into each one. I am a member of multiple Facebook groups:

We Love EC 

Erin Condren Planner Junkies

Erin Condren Fans

Lastly, not directly related to Erin Condren, but still my absolute favorite group:
Kate Spade Planners Club

Check out these FB groups to see how others are decorating their planners, find free goodies to print and use, and inspire others with your own planner!

Here are a few photos of my planner I just ordered this morning, these photos are directly from the Erin Condren website, and if you would like $10 off of your first order, click here!

The floral design really appealed to me, I love the vibrancy!

Of course I had to snag a Halloween cover, it is my favorite holiday, after all!

A few coil clips, just in case I want to add some of my own pages or items to my planner!


Here is a helpful chart for anyone who has ordered, it details what each status update means!


Keep an eye peeled for my free Erin Condren daily square templates, coming soon!

ek tools flag punch from Walmart, a new Nintendo DS and Target sadness

Good morning everyone! It is barely noon here in Austin but I have already been to three different Targets and a Walmart. 

Last night on Instagram I saw that a few Target stores had released their Sugar Paper planners early! They are supposed to come out October 28, 2014, but when I saw some people already cleaned out the displays, I panicked and decided I needed to be at my local Target as soon as they opened! 

Cut to this morning: I went to my Target, nothing. I went to a Target in the next town over, nothing. I went to one other Target before I decided I should start calling around before I waste an entire tank of gas. The stores I called said they had them but they weren't setting up the display until Tuesday. 

Crisis averted, I would not be missing out on a "secret early release".

I went over to Walmart and picked up the ek tools mini flag punch. Score!


I was just kind of walking around aimlessly and thought "let's go check out the gaming section" er mah gerd!! They had one Nintendo 3DS XL Mickey edition system left on the shelf. Now, unless you are a nerd like me you probably don't know how huge of an accomplishment this is. This system was released in April alongside the Disney Magical World game. They sold out really quickly and now you have to find them on eBay for around $300! Another score! 



It is very pretty and very heavy, but then again it is an XL! I love the white with the gold accents! 

Now that I am back home from my shopping highs and lows, I immediately got to work making a billion teeny tiny flags with my new mini punch. These really are tiny- definitely can only fit one letter per flag but I think that makes it fun! 

Here is my temporary holding zone for the flags I've punched, inside my A&M mug (gig em!):


All these flags are from just two pieces of 8.5x11 scrapbook paper that I bought at Michael's in the Amy Tangerine set, I believe. 

Lastly, I found out that I got a perfect score on my paper and presentation that I gave over miscommunication between Toyota and the consumer during the 2009-2010 recalls. Yay, go me! So to celebrate with my new teeny tiny flags, I made a little banner in my planner! 


Alrighty peeps, that's all for now. We are going to run back out and grab some lunch, then I'll be studying for the rest of the day. Once Upon a Time is on tonight! Who else will be watching!?
