Black Friday Weekend Deals!

What did I buy?

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends and Family!  It was a long weekend of family, food, shopping, and relaxing! 

I have been debating on which A5 planner to get - I do not have that size and really wanted to start using one.  Carpe Diem went on sale on Blitsy and they were an amazingly good deal.  I bought the Aqua color with some extra Carpe Diem goodies:  the pouch, the pocket folders, sticker sets, charms, and bookmarks.

The 3 pocket folders that come in this set are so cute - and coordinate with the rest of the planner set.  

 This plastic storage pouch will be great to fill with bits and stickers for decorating.
 

 I also ordered the Illustrated Life sticker set.  There are two sheets of each page.

 I could not pass by these magnetic page markers that coordinate with the rest of the kit.

The planner comes with the camera charm, but I also purchased these four charms to switch out from time to time.  You can purchase them here for a deal.

And finally, these icon stickers, which will be perfect for decorating in my planner.

Etsy had some great deals as well.   

I bought a snowman charm from LoveNeen's shop.  I bought a leaf charm a few months back for the Fall season.  I wanted to get one for the winter season so I grabbed this little cutie up.  It was $4 on sale.

I also bought some page flags from this great shop, Xotiphani.     These are awesome because the whole thing is a sticker.  I was excited she took the suggestions of those on Instagram and made Honey Bear ones.  I purchased a Field Notes Dori in Winnie the Pooh print a few months back so it matches perfectly.

I was shopping on the Mylkshoppe too.  I needed some zip pocket and card holders for field notes size.  I will be setting it up with my Pooh flags.

Also from that shop, I found these Washi rings for a small amount of Washi tape.  I like to sort my tape each month with the color scheme I am using to plan.  These rings will be perfect for that.

Another shop, Zytlalay,  had a good deal on the paper clips for my Winnie the Pooh field notes travel notebook.   I purchased Piglet, Melody, and Pooh.

We also went to Target and the Mall on Black Friday and got most of the people on our list a present.   I hope you found lots of goodies for those you love!

Happie Scrappie August Kit

What's in

the Kit?

When I was looking for a travel notebook to buy, I came across Happie Scrappie.  She sells travel notebooks in her shop, but she also sends a planner kit that is really fantastic.  It has a variety of items and there are three kits to choose from:  Travel Notebook, A5 and Personal.  Since I was working on building up my inserts for my Travel Notebooks, I chose that size.

This kit ships from Malaysia, so I usually get it at the very end of the month.  This month's theme was Makeup = Happiness is the Best Makeup.  The kit is $12.99 a month plus shipping.

Makeup Travel Notebook Insert -  ($8)  This one is so pretty and I will put it in my Paris themed travel notebook.  

 Makeup Journal Cards - ($4)  These are so pretty - and they are double sided. I will laminate most of them to use as cards.  I will also hole punch some of them to put in my personal planners.

Perfume Bottle Stickers - ($3)  These are puffy, perfume stickers in various sizes and colors.  These are perfect for decorating in my Paris travel notebook.

Makeup Bookmark and Dashboard -  These are nice for using as a bookmark in your inserts and you could also make a dashboard for your planner out of them.

Girl Memo Pad - ($2) This little girl memo pad is adorable.  She is perfect!  I love her flower necklace.

 

Hello Kitty Pen -   ($2.70)  I love the color of the one I received!  I also love getting cute pens so this is a win for me!

Star Memo Flags - ($1) How fun are these? I like to put these in my planner.

Charms and Clips -  There was a shoe charm included in the kit.  It also had two clips.  I know of of them is a bow but not too clear about what the other one is.

Star Washi Tape - ($3)  I really love Washi tape - I did not have this yet either.  It is very cute and I cannot wait to decorate my planners with this.

The kit was just perfect this month and I loved all of the pieces included - the theme was perfect for me - I love makeup!  I will be using most of the items in my Paris travel notebook.

 

The Planner Society Kit

What's in

the kit?

You can really find a kit or subscription box for anything you are interested in these days.  I have recently become crazy about planners and paper crafts.  I stumbled upon a planner kit by The Planner Society.  You can sign up now for the September kit, but if there are any available before that, you will be e-mailed.  It will cost $15 to get on the wait list, but that amount is refunded when your kit starts.

Washi tape, stickers, and post it notes -  The post it notes are designed exclusively for the kit - Be Fabulous and Be Fearless.  The pineapple and flamingo stickers are just adorable.  I have never used washi tape like this but it was so easy to decorate with on the card.

Die Cut Tags -    There are 13 die cuts here - from bows to flamingos to pineapples.  They are so fun and I will use them to decorate my planners and listers book.
 

Bow Punch -  I love this little bow punch - it is so cute.  I will enjoy using it to make fun punches.
 

Bow Stamp -  This is a fun, little stamp - I am excited about this little stamp. 
 

Journal Cards -  There are eight cards in this little package!  They are so fun!  I can use them to decorate journals, make dashboards for my planners, and my listers book.

Cabochons - a bow and a flamingo -   I love how cute these are - I can use them to make paper clips or other fun craft items.

Pineapple and Flamingo Charms -  So cute!  I love that she included these charms. I just purchased a pineapple Sunshine Dori and I can add this to it to decorate.  There is another Dori I have been eyeing that is a flamingo print.

Exclusive Paper - This paper was made especially for the kit by the creator Christy and it is fantastic.  Great quality, beautiful colors, and coordinates with everything so nicely.  They are double sided too.  This is the first side of each of the three:

This is the other side of the paper:

Maggie Holmes pins - I adore these!  In fact, I bought this set before I knew I could get this kit.  I love the bows!  The green one is my absolute favorite.

This kit was curated so perfectly - the colors, the variety, everything was just perfect.  There was a washi tape too that I did not get a photo of separately.

 

Happie Scrappie Planner Kit

What's in

the kit?

     I have recently joined in the world of planners and found a great bunch of ladies with some creative ideas.  I happened upon the Happie Scrappie Planner Kit.  This kit ships from Malaysia for $23 total.  She has closed the sub kit for subscriptions right now as she just had a baby but stay tuned.  Her shop has some adorable products in it too - cannot wait till she reopens.  I think I subbed just in time.

The theme this month was Wilderness.  It came in this really cute bag.
First Look:

This comes all cutely packaged in the fabric bag.  I love that she stamped it with an owl to go with our theme!

EEK! I love the first look!

Washi tape -   ($2.99)  I have been looking for washi tape in every store I visit now.  I am loving the cute tape that is out there - and I use a crochet hoop to keep them all on! This is the perfect colors for the kit. 

Sheep Gel Pen - (pkg of 10 $6.99) This is the cutest pen and I love the way it writes. I need to get a whole set of these when the shop reopens.  I love the color of the one I got in the kit too - one of my favorites.

 
Pink Mushroom Charm -    SO CUTE ~  I think this is adorable and cannot wait to put it on one of my new Dori travelers notebooks. 

Mushroom Stick Marker -   ($1)  These are nice little markers to put in your planner and decorate.  I like the mushrooms and they are adorable!

 

 Planner Stickers - There are six pages of planner stickers as well!  Such great colors - there are little envelopes on three of the pages. 

Fox cards -   These are cute little foxes on one side and a quote or journal card on the other side.  There are several sizes too.  I will enjoy decorating with these in my travel notebook.

Traveler's Notebook -  This is a great quality notebook.  I love the pastel hearts and the inside is adorable.  I am looking forward to getting more of these for my Dori too.

Large Animal Cards - We also received four of these large cards you can use as a bookmark for your notebooks or punch holes in them for a dashboard.

     I thought this was an adorable starter kit and I am in love with the cuteness.  There are some planner people that are not into cuteness for their planners but there are other kits out there.  This had a great variety of products and I will use everything in this kit - which is a huge selling point for me.  I am excited to see what next month's kit is like as the theme is Makeup - another one of my favorite things!

Happie Scrappie also included two little extras - a polar bear memo pad that is beyond adorable and these little owl cutouts.
