Fun fact, for those of you who may not know, this kit was one of Elle's mystery kits (like 1 of 3) that she did on Etsy before she switched to her subscription, but so many people loved it that she brought it to her Etsy shop as a regular $19.95 kit. But yeah, many people loved it and I was one of them, but I did order it as a mystery. Also, for a good while she was doing the heart checklist with a Do These portion at the top but it was included in the full box so you would still put a To Do header before the Do These, she has since taken that off because I guess a lot of people hated it. I am happy it's gone but I didn't hate it.

On to the kit though and my week lol. I wanted to do a little something different this week and I wanted to use as much of this kit as I could so I will take you into what I did. I started off with the Do These heart boxes and because I didn't want to put a redundant To Do header, I went ahead and put the full box down so it started where the header would normally go. So I put the full boxes down all across the week M-F and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first with the little sliver of the box that wasn't covered, like should I move everything up? Should I put an icon? Should I put a little thing? Finally I was like nah, I am just going to put down some washi, so I did lol. And then I put down the full boxes on Tuesday and Thursday but I was like this kit is way too pretty to leave so many empty boxes and have so much leftover so I decided, I am just going to put the full boxes all across, so I did. But, since I knew I would definitely be writing down things on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I choose the least chaotic full boxes to put down on those days. And then for the final box I put down three half boxes and then I put two of the washi strips to make flags I could use.

For the weekend I did the usual Today headers, weekend banner, half boxes, heart boxes, To Do headers and full boxes. I put down the bottom washi and then went to my sidebar which is sometimes the hardest when using a kit like this. But it's okay, I figured it out. So I put down the full box in my thankful thought, Do These heart box, put down to tv little things because I thought I had only two shows this week, but I just finished watching The Bachelorette and I love it!!! So I definitely had three shows. So I put those down, a half box to mark my posts on here and then I realized I needed a spent section but didn't have anything I could possibly use to put down a money sticker or some heart checklists so I just put down 7 little things to use and then for the space left, since I finished the half boxes, I put down the rest of the washi that was the same print as the full box. And then done.

I love how it came out and I needed a little bit of a pick me up after all the stress last week and this kit definitely puts me in a happy place. I love how easily these spreads turn out, although I wish all kits were built precisely for my planning style haha.

And before I say how much I hope you enjoyed this post, can we talk about: 1) june starts next week (WTH!!!!), 2) school is ending soon (YAYYYYY), 3) I am just way too excited for my June kits. I hope you plan along with me if you happened to buy any of the ones I bought, 4) NEW ECLP ARE EVERYWHERE right now. How many of you are ordering a new one as soon as they launch on June 1? How many of you preorded your luxe planner?

Sadly I am not, but only because I don't need a new one until December.

I hope you enjoyed this post and this week's spread. See you next week with some fruity spread!

Love,
