Easter 3 Tier Tray

I had started seeing so many 3 tier trays, so I decided that I needed one. I am usually very picky about a lot of things, and this was no different. Hobby Lobby had several to choose from, but there was something I didn’t like about each one of them. My guy was with me and he wondered off and came back with the perfect one!  I loved it!! Off to the Easter isle we went to find some items to put on it. With being so close to Easter, there wasn’t a lot to choose from, but I’m very happy with it and will add more next year. I think after Easter, I want to do a spring/bumble bee theme.

Mini Planner Spread - Beauty in Florals

I used another sticker book from the Happy Planner Spring Release - Beauty in Florals.  I didn't use to care much for the floral stickers, but I'm loving the ones in this release.  I struggle a lot with the dashboard layout and rarely like my spreads, but I really like this one.  

This spread is in my Pink is the New Black mini Happy Planner.

Classic Planner Spread - Happy Life

Another one of the new sticker books from The Happy Planner Spring Release - Happy Life. I like that it has bright colors. It also has a lot of encouraging quotes. I ended up buying more from this release than I expected I would. How about you? 

This is in my Define Your Purpose Classic Happy Planner. 

The journaling sticker I made myself from light weight card stock and attached a double sticker to the top and adhered to the planner with Tombo permanent adhesive.

Sticker Haul - Created By Danielle

Another sticker Haul from Created By Danielle. I love her planner clips. She has several more I'd like to get. Baseball season is just around the corner so I had to get that one!!  ⚾️ Go Red's!  So is Easter and that bunny is just too adorable! 🐰 You can find her on Etsy. She is a fast shipper, which I love!  And how cool are these Sudoku stickers?  I can't wait to start wearing flip flops and sandals again.  Thank goodness warmer weather will be here soon.  

This is not an affiliate link, I'm just a fan of her shop.

Mini Planner Spread - St. Patrick’s Day

Can you believe it’s the middle of March already? I purchased this cute mini St. Patrick's Day kit from Cheerful Planner Girl. I think it’s hard to find kits that work well in the dashboard layout. I’m pleased with how it turned out. I'm not a green fan, so about the only time you will see green, especially the darker greens, in my spreads will be for a holiday.  :)

This is the Pink is the new Black mini Happy Planner. 

I'm still trying to figure out lighting in my new house.  What looks good on my phone, doesn't always look good when uploaded to this blog.

Crocheted Rainbow Baby Hat

My son and his wife are expecting their Rainbow Baby in May. She asked if I would make him a rainbow hat to go with a rainbow swaddle that she has. That’s one of the “outfits” he’ll wear for his newborn pictures.  This was a fun project to make. I used a basic hat pattern. Hobby Lobby had mini skeins (1.05oz) that I used, otherwise this would have been an expensive project with a lot of left over yarn.  

I'm anxious for his arrival and to see him in his new hat.  







Sophisticated Florals Weekly Spread

The new Sophisticated Florals sticker book from The Happy Planner has a beautiful soft neutral palette. I’m not big on florals, but I love the floral sticker books in their new spring release. 

I went back to using my journaling cards in this spread to have the “clean” look. 

This spread is in my Define Your Purpose Classic Happy Planner.  I love how neutral this planner is.  Happy Planner is starting to have more neutral planners, which is awesome that they are finally listening to what most of us want.  I don't mind color on the cover and dividers, but the monthly and weekly spreads I want to be neutral so that I decide my theme and layout.  



I just noticed that the sticker on the bottom left came open.  I close them with repositional tape and it doesn't stick very long.  Very aggravating.

Happy Plans Weekly Spread

I love this new Happy Plans sticker book from the Happy Planner spring release. It has a soft color palette. The flower stickers from Created By Danielle matched perfectly. I’m also loving the big quotes that fit in the sidebar. I always have such a hard time decorating that area. I will have to get a 2nd copy of this one.  I also used some stickers from Happy Quotes sticker book, as well as some I made for personal use. 

This is my Define Your Purpose Classic Happy Planner.  (Stephanie's Edition)

Mini Weekly Spread - Radiate Positivity

This week in my mini Happy Planner I used the Radiate Positivity sticker book. I love the bright color palette in this one.  After I took this picture and did the pen, I ended up adding a sticker in the bottom right corner on the left page. I'm not sure why I didn't notice earlier that it needed something there.

I have been struggling with this layout.  I think I'm going to go back to the horizontal layout starting in July, but haven't fully decided yet.  

The planner clip is from Created by Danielle (Etsy Shop).  She has sticker sheets as well.  Be sure to follow her on Instagram as she has sales often.

Handmade Baby Card - Elephant

Isn’t this adorable? I made a baby gift and decided I needed to make a card as well. I love how this turned out. 

I used mostly Stampin’ Up! products. The stamp I bought at a craft store. I no longer sell Stampin' Up!, so I'm not sure what is still currently available.  

Card stock:
  • Bashful Blue 
  • Basic Grey
  • Very Vanilla
Bashful Blue ink 

Elephant Punch

Color Street Mani - US Navy with Glittersweet

US Navy is one of my favorite sets. I was sad when they retired it last year. They brought it back briefly and I was able to get a few sets. I am in love with Glittersweet!!  It is the perfect overlay. It is a must have in your nail wardrobe.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  Glittersweet looks beautiful on any of the solid sets.

Winter Classic Weekly Planner Spread


We had a snow storm that started Monday afternoon and ended during the day on Tuesday. We ended up with around 10”. Our county was in a travel emergency, so we both stayed home due to our jobs being closed. Everything was back to normal on Wednesday other than a few slick spots here and there. The back roads were still a mess, though. 

This spread is in my Define Your Purpose Classic Happy Planner. I used a variety of stickers for this one. I used various Happy Planner stickers as well as some Etsy shop stickers and some I printed for personal use.

Valentine Classic Spread

I am SO far behind on blog posts!!  

Isn’t this the cutest Valentine kit?  I don’t order kits very often, but once in a while there’s one I just have to have.  I’m not even a coffee drinker, but still thought it was adorable. This kit is from Coffee Break Planner. She has high quality stickers and runs sales often. 

This is in my Define Your Purpose Classic Happy Planner.
