Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Apple Picking–

Watch the video here.

Okay, so I was (and still am) very nervous about this Plan with Me. I really hope you guys like my kit that I created and download it. You can do that right here.

If you have suggestions for things you would like to see changed in the kit let me know. I want to create the kits you want to use. I am hoping to to start selling some kits on Etsy soon. I have some things that I am working on for that and have more planned. If there are specific printable sticker items you are looking for talk to me, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks to for watching!

As I mentioned in the video I have started a Facebook page for this channel/blog and I would love it if you came over and hit that like button. I will be announcing all the videos and blog posts there so it will make it easier to catch all of them. I hope to get the conversation going too so feel free to stop by and say howdy any time.

I've finally joined this century and have an Instagram (I just need to actually post on it......) You can find me here.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Planner Girl– (ft Bling Bling Planner)

Watch the video here.

This week I am using another kit from Bling Bling Planner on Etsy. It really wasn't on purpose, I had totally forgotten where I got this kit from. I bought it a while back on a sale ($2!!) to use sometime in the month of August since the Recollections Planner has the color for the month of August purple. So I now have two weeks in a row from the same shop. The kits are different enough from each other that it really isn't that noticeable when you flip through the pages.

Purple is my favorite color so I love this kit, I love the color combo and it is not one I use myself but always love it when I run into it.

The only sticker I felt the need to add this week was a dinner menu tracker from Thanksis Digital Arts on Etsy. I use a lot of stickers from this shop, if you haven't already I suggest you go check out what they have to offer.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Succulents- (ft My Planner Envy)

Watch the video here.

This week in my Happy Planner I decided to go with this free kit from Planner Envy that is succulents themed. I love the artwork on the kit and the simplicity of the design. Also the fact that the colors blend fairly well with the colors in my Happy Planner is definitely a bonus.

I am really not sure why all the stickers came out just a tad bit too small in this kit. I have used her kits before I don't remember having this issue with those but it was a long time ago. It's really not a big deal and frankly it gives the pages a bit more space and without space the Happy Planner can be a bit crowded.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner –Black Flower– (ft Bling Bling Planner)

Watch the video here.

This week I have a really pretty kit from the Etsy Shop Bling Bling Planner that I picked up last week (or the one before???) on their $2 Tuesday sale. I love the kit, I was a little worried with I got ready to print it since I am out of my normal glossy paper and had to use matte but it still turned out beautiful.

I love the fact that the kits I have been choosing for my spreads are all so different but they just fit at the same time. So much fun to flip through and enjoy the art of the stickers.

This kit was short a couple of stickers that I really find helpful in my week so I simply raided my stash of functional stickers to fill in the gaps.

The hydrate stickers are among the first printable stickers I got back in 2015 when I first started planning with stickers. They are from the Etsy Shop Silver Shed Crafts.

The meal planning sticker is from a sheet I picked up from Paper CrownPlanner also on Etsy. They have a lot of really charming printable stickers be sure to check them out.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –September Monthly– (ft BEaYOUtiful Planning)

Watch the video here.

Since I like to get my monthly spread in my Happy Planner done really early the month before I have been keeping my eyes open for monthly kits for a while now. I actually ran into this one when I was visiting all my favorite free printable sites looking for weekly kits last week. This one is from BEaYOUtiful Planning's website. I the kits she makes so many of them are just perfect for me. I debated for a day or two about this monthly kit since the people at Happy Planner decided to make the color for the weekends on the September monthly pages pink, but in the end I love it too much to care that the colors don't go very well.

This kit is very generous especially since it is a free one. I had a lot of pieces leftover. I will try to remember to pull from some of those pieces during the month for various things I do record in this spread.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Crafts– (ft Cute Daisy)

Watch the video here.

This week for my Happy Planner I found a crafts/sewing theme kit. I don't think I have ever seen a kit with this theme so I decided to use it this week. It is from the website Cute Daisy. I really recommend you go over and check out the free printable planner kits available on the site. There are some really cute ones.

The only stickers I added were 2 of the habit tracker stickers from Thanksis Digital Art on Etsy. I am so glad I picked up this printable sheet I get a lot of use out of it in both my planners.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner – Country Life– (ft BEaYOUtifulPlanning)

Watch the video here.

This week I have another beautiful kit from BeaYOUtiful Planning on Etsy. Her kits are amazing and this one in particular spoke to me. I know a lot of you identify with the fashion girls and the make-up but I'm a country girl, this kit is basically me in sticker form! So for the price of $3.75 I think I might have just planned my favorite spread of the entire year (at least so far)

I was a little confused about the kit name, the sheets (and the files) are all labeled as Boots but on Etsy the kit name is Country Life. Either name is fine with me I just love this clip art.

Hopefully I didn't sound too out of it on the video it was so hot in here the day I filmed it was almost unbearable. I sure hope this heatwave is over soon. That being said I am not looking forward to the cold part of the year that I know will come all to soon. I admit I am a “weather wimp” and I hate extremes in weather.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the plan with me and I hope to see you here again soon.

I get asked all the time what sticker paper I use. Here is a photo of the packaging from my current paper. This is at least the 3^rd package of this brand I have used and I really like it. I buy it from a couple of different sellers on eBay, I find the prices there are better than Amazon for this paper.

July 2017 Pinch Me Box

Watch the video here.

I am never really sure how to title the videos and blogs for the Pinch Me boxes. They take a really long time to reach me sometimes so do I name them for the month that I claimed the items or do I use the month they arrived in???

This month since I am not exactly sure when I claimed this box (I think this one is from June but I am not 100% sure) I went with the month it arrived.

If you are not familiar with Pinch Me it is kind of a subscription service but it is totally free. All you have to do is write reviews on the samples that are sent to you. Pretty easy huh?

The last few months it is has been really hard to qualify for products. I went for about 6 months of so not getting anything but finally I seem to be back to getting stuff each time.

My advice on that would be first be sure to fill out those reviews. I am currently trying really hard to improve the quality of the reviews I leave for products. Another thing that I feel helps is to update your profile on a regular basis. Even if nothing has changed for you I find that there are additional questions every once in a while and those seem to have to do with specific products that are going to be offered.

Then just keep an eye out for when the sample day will be next time and be sure to get there on time.

Good luck!

So here are my thoughts on the products I got this time:

Sensodyne toothpaste: Although my teeth aren't sensitive all the time occasionally they are and for these times this toothpaste is wonderful.

Quaker Chewy bites: Love these little bites, and am no keeping a bag of them in my desk drawer.

Hidden Valley Simply Ranch: I love this dressing because it just tastes good the fact that is is free from the artificial stuff in other brands makes it even better.

Carol's Daughter Rhassoul Clay Shampoo and Conditioner: I was amazed at how soft and manageable this left my hair. I will definitely be looking for places to purchase this.

Plan with me in my Happy Planner –Tropical– (ft Design Sticker Store)

Watch the video here.

This week for my Happy Planner I found this really cute one page kit from Design Sticker Store on Etsy that was on sale for only $1! I am really loving all things pineapple this summer and the colors in the this particular kit go amazingly well with the existing green in my Happy Planner. If I was really picky I would probably use some date covers and cover the area that says August since those are purple but at this point anyway I am okay with those. I think because even though there is no purple in the kit the tone of all the colors blends well.

Now this being a one page kit it was missing a couple of things that I wanted to use. One being a weekend banner. I decided to check out Planner Problem 101 and once again the site came through. She has some wonder multicolor items on her free site. If you haven't checked it out you really should.

I also wanted a habit tracker and I have a page of multicolor ones from Thanksis Digital Art on Etsy that I pulled out to use.

That's the beauty of having a collection of multicolor sticker items in your collection, if a kit is missing something that you feel you can't do without you can pull in items from those sheets.

I do apologize if the video was a little off from normal this week. It is incredibly hot here in Oregon and I don't have AC. Sitting with the lights I use to film was just about unbearable for more than a couple of minutes at a time. I have a fan on my desk but it was too loud to have on while filming. Hopefully we will be back to “normal” weather soon.

Plan with me in my Recollections Planner – Day at the Fair– (ft HT Planning)

Watch the video here.

This week I decided to go with the theme of day at the fair since August is really fair season where I live. There are several fairs and festivals I would like to go to this month.

The kit I found is from the Etsy shop HT Planning and it was on her summer sale when I picked it up. That meant the 3 page kit was only $1.50 with the add on deluxe page being only $.50! That is an incredible deal on four pages. I didn't need any extra stickers to fill out my week. I did decided to add a bit of glitter washi tape since I had a large space between my bottom boxes and the bottom washi from the kit. If the color of the area hadn't been so out of place with the kit I wouldn't have bothered with it though.

I get asked all the time what sticker paper I use. Here is a photo of the packaging from my current paper. This is at least the 3^rd package of this brand I have used and I really like it.
