**smitten**

I am completely **smitten** over this new monthly planner of mine! I first learned of the erin condren planner from i heart organizing. I'm kinda fussy when it comes to my planners and always find myself switching to a new one every few months because I can never find the right one. Well after much contemplating I finally spent the money and bought one of the erin condren monthly life planners. It is everything I have ever wanted from a planner and then some.

It arrived wrapped & packaged in the cutest little box along with a few freebies.

Of course I chose an orange cover, but they have a ton of other colors and cute designs to choose from as well.

I decided to buy just the monthly planner with lots of blank pages for my blog ideas and etsy shop. This way I can keep everything in one spot instead of carrying around 3 different books.

There are more than enough lined and blank pages to make lists and sketch ideas on.

And has two sheets of these brightly colored little sticky notes. You can use them as stickers, labels or for page tabs...LOVE!

There are two pockets for holding loose pieces of paper as well as a plastic zipper pouch for holding smaller items that are always falling out of my previous planners.

To keep all my blog ideas in one spot, I printed off these FREE printables from i heart organizing. Jen has the most amazing organizing blog and is offering some free printables for the rest of the month, so head on over there before the month is over.

I just love how perfectly her printables coordinate with my new planner. So how do all of you keep your blog ideas, etsy shop, and sketches organized? Please do share if you have any great tips!
