erin condren life planner

here are some pictures of my new erin condren life planner! i ordered it on jan 9 and it was delivered today. definitely worth the wait! this planner is put together by hand (as well as the rest of her products), no machines - so it does take a little longer, which is fine with me!

here we go..

the box! how cute is that : )

love this little quote on the box.

inside the box (so cute!!)

this little envelope had some goodies in it:

inside the envelope

matching notepads : )

the planner!!

special dates in the front of the planner -
for birthdays/anniversaries/holidays : ) i
love how it's numbered for each day, not just
lines & it's so colorful!!

there's a little notes section at the beginning
of each month. some months have more, some
less, depending on when the previous month
ended

there are also motivational/inspirational quotes
throughout the planner!

a notes section in the back of the planner
lot's of writing space!

each month looks like this, just
different colors! soooo cute!!! &

each month has a different color tab : )

after the month calendar, you see this for each
month.. on the left page there's a goals list and
a to-do list then the days are broken into

morning, day, & night with plenty of space!

in the back is a page for

important numbers

stickers, stickers & more stickers!

there are 2 pages of them that are
pre-printed...

& 2 pages of blank stickers!

a double sided pocket folder :)

a little pouch to store things -

it came with goodies in it, too!!

gift labels, labels, circle paper clips

on the back cover is the next 2 years

all on one page : )

Okay, so there you go. One thing that I found out from looking at tons of blogs before buying this was that the month tabs can start "curling" from wear and tear... no worries though - you can buy avery index tabs, the self-adhesive ones - cut them to size and there ya go! I have read that when the 2013 Life Planners come out, they will come laminated : )

the day has come!

Today is the dayyyy!

Just checked FedEx and my planner is being delivered today! I can't wait to go home! 5:00 can't come soon enough. I will be posting a "review" once I get home tonight and take pictures of it.

Also, I've been using Instagram a lot! It's an awesome app that you can share your photos with other people. Last month there was a challenge (#janphotoaday) - each day there is a different picture that you post. The creator of this wonderful challenage is @fatmumslim. She is awesome and very talented! Here are some photos from the January photo-a-day:



Just posted the other day was the photo challenge for February - I'm so excited to do this. It gives me something to do everyday and to look forward to posting on Instagram, I also really like looking at other people's photos. So... Here is the February challenge:
