Hi again everybody! Thanks for stopping by!
If you know me, you know I love to plan. I have always been a sucker for school supplies and right now is one of my favorite times of the year to be in stores-- back to school shopping!! I have such a hard time resisting all of the colorful office stuff. I used to always love getting ready for the new year of school and it did not stop once I entered the world of adulthood. Now I try to find ways to incorporate my love of office supplies, list making and planning in to my day to day life, and I do my best to have fun with it!
I do not pretend to be a planner pro, because some people get SERIOUSLY involved with this and are way more talented than I! I have a few different organizational systems I use for my day to day life, but for each one I have to have my stickers! I am stuck on stickers.. they can make any day more inspired and, for me, leads to more motivation! My favorite physical store to buy planner supplies is Michael's, and they often have excellent deals! I have had planners that I have bought off-line and have been personalized, but this year I went with the Large Happy Planner, and I am loving it! You can find the planner I am using here. I love the detachable pages and the extra large room for - you guessed it- more stickers! I debated posting some pictures of my own calendar to show an example of how I usually decorate my planner each week, but I have a lot of confidential information listed in the pages, so I can't do that. If I remember and get a blank set of days decorated, I will post it then!
I also buy some of my stickers from Etsy.com or other stores on-line, as well as the dollar store. I don't mind if my professional work planner or my bill calendar looks like something out of the 1990's with bright juvenile colors- it is just me seeing it and it definitely brings a big smile to my face!
What I did not discover until about two weeks ago was the wonderful world of FREE stickers that you can print for yourself at home! There are so many you can find on-line, but I want to share with y'all one of my absolute favorite designers. She has so many free and custom-sized stickers that can be used for your personal use (remember, if you try to sell them or do some sort of mass distribution, it would be copyright infringement), and I am obsessed! I use full page printable labels that you can buy at any store with office supplies or off-line as well. I have used a couple of different brands. I use my color printer and print these babies out, and then just cut them! I use just regular scissors to cut them or one of my special cutting tools, which maybe I will write a post about later with more detail :).
So, here it is! My favorite source for free, gorgeous, adorable stickers right now is from Victoria Thatcher. You can check out her site right here. She has an entire drive full of free, easy to download stickers that are custom sized for either Erin Condren planners or Happy Planners. Of course, you can use them for any planner you like! That just means that they are made to fit inside the cells of those two brands of planners perfectly.
I hope you enjoy! If you do, please comment and share!
Be well,
Lisa
