Hello Fall

Have you ever gotten so carried away with stickers that you just buy and buy and then suddenly realize, there's no need for about half of the stickers you now have? Because that's definitely what I did at the beginning of my planning experience. My first obsession was Glam Planner, I still love her kits (seeing as how I am signed up for her monthly surprise subscription kit) but when she first opened up her shop is really when I first started buying stickers and decorating my planner. So with every kit she released I was like OMG I need it! So I would buy most of them but then she would also have these misfit sales and I would buy from there as well, and as you can guess, I ended up with too many kits and not enough weeks. Especially because this was mainly like end of October, beginning of November, which is when the holidays were. I would just buy from Glam Planner, I would buy from my other favorite shop at the time Basic Planning and I just never really kept track of what I was buying. But I am doing my best now to really keep track of what I have and plan on when to use it.

With May coming up, I wanted to follow the whole "April showers brings May flowers" so, as you guessed it, May's theme is florals/flowers. And at the beginning, Glam Planner did a lot of floral kits, hence I am using this time to use some of the extra kits that I had laying around. Her Hello Fall kit was one of them. I figured the kit itself wasn't exclusively to fall except for one full box that legit said Hello Fall. But I looked at the kit and was like eh, not a big deal, I will just save that box for later on.

So I started to plan and I did the typical Today headers all across and To Do headers on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I put down my checklists all across the week. I put two half boxes and one of the two weekend banners in the kit on the weekend (duh lol). I put full boxes on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I did the side bar using a full box, a checklist with the header Other, a half box, I put down a Littles header with 3 TV littles and 3 arrow littles to mark my shows and then some washi and another half box. I put down the washi, a Thoughts box from my mystery kit and then did a little bit of decorating with the decor stickers. And then I marked my two midterms I have on Friday.

Now normally I would have stopped there but as I was looking at it, I just really wanted to use the whole kit, I wanted more. I just kept staring and after long thought I realized I was going to study all week, I was splitting up the 4 days to evenly study for each of my midterms and I wasn't going to worry about my third class until Saturday morning. I kept thinking and finally I was like well, realistically I won;t be doing anything besides studying and realistically I only needed one box a day to write down "Study notes" or "Study problems." So I was like you know what? I am going to use the whole kit!

I went back in and put down full boxes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I put down a Littles section all across the week, except Saturday and Sunday. And then I put down washi to cover up the white space on Tuesday and Wednesday and then put down a half box on Thursday. I put down half boxes on the full boxes I thought would be hard to write on and be able to see what it says. I put To Do headers all across. And then I was left with a semi little area on Monday that was just white. I had nothing left except for the Hello Fall full box. I was staring at it and suddenly it hit me, literally it smacked me. Just kidding, I was staring and I came to the realization that the word Fall was all that needed to go. So, being the most reasonable person ever, I cut out the word Fall and then layered the word Hello on top of the bottom half of the full box that had a little floral design.

And then I was done! As I said I only used the kit this week except for the Thoughts box and the TEST stickers. Also, there will be a little bit of writing on the side bar in the picture of the kit simply because as I said I did my planning but then afterwards realized I wanted more and I didn't realize that until I had already started filling it out. Hope you don't mind.

But I hope you enjoyed! If you want a sneak peek of what else is to come this week just look really carefully in the picture, I have them written down. See you Thursday with a food post!

Love,

Bee
