I LOVE planning. I love everything about it. From the feeling organized (even if you’re not, it’s a great feeling to have!) to the decorating with washi, stickers, and whatnot, to the gorgeous options for leather Travelers notebooks, and so on and so forth.
I also love the planner subscription boxes. The little surprise “gift” to myself in my mailbox each month is my little guilty “mom” pleasure. I’ve really had to downsize my subscriptions because if you know me then you know my “Go BIG or go home” mentality in allthethings but I got my last monthly box from Lauren Phelps Designs and I wanted to share it because it really is gorgeous!
I’m going to apologize now for the crappy lighting, but the kids are finally asleep and this is the time I have to myself, so I deal with whatever lighting I have on hand. š
I really love her designs, and I fell in love with her artwork for her October kit (I’m a total freak for pumpkins!) and decided to order a few boxes! Ā This is the January kit for 2019 and it has all kinds of goodies from washi, to stickers, to gorgeous papers that I’ll use for scrapbooking and whatnot.
I’ll admit I haven’t figured out the sequins yet. Ā Eventually I’m going to make shaker dashboards out of them, and I even bought ALLTHETHINGS to make shaker dashboards, but alas, laziness consumes me sometimes… (or maybe it’s just motherhood…. either way, I’m tired.)
One of these posts I’ll share some “Plan With Me” videos, but I’m waiting for my little iPhone tripod to come in so I can be all official-like, and so you can’t really see my face (because no one really wants that), and so my nervously shaking hands won’t make you motion sick. Ā Because that could totally happen.
Also, isn’t it ironic that I couldn’t even fill up a day on a planner when I was working full time, yet now that I’m the stay-at-home mom of two that planner is jammed? Ā Funny how that works…. LOL!
