I'll show you mine...

Hubbub. 

Hoopla. 

If you ordered an Erin Condren Life Planner, or were even a little bit present on blogs, Twitter or Facebook during the release time, I'm pretty sure you're aware of the insanity surrounding these things. 

Craziness.

But this may be the first time everyone's thrown themselves around about something and it's actually lived up to the hype. At least, in my opinion.

So after we all saw how MANY people were ordering, amazingly sweet Erin suggested a link-up, and precious Mer volunteered her blog right away. SO. Link up from there. :) It's kinda fun, and to be honest, who doesn't enjoy getting ideas for different ways to use their product? Right. I know.

oh, an my mom loved mine so much, she ordered one for herself! i'm loving that!

I ordered mine in the Signature Stripe (and I think Steph, Haley and I are the only people I know who DIDN'T order the candy lace multi). I love it, I'm positive I won't be sick of this come next December!

(also, SO GLAD I decided against adding my pets' names to this! How depressing would that have been to see Jethro on there for the next year and a half!?)

I was a little wary of the day set up, but I've come to really like it. I love being able to write out my blog post topics in advance, so I know what I need to write still and when to schedule it.

I LOVE the stickers that they added at the back. 

I've already gone to town adding all the wedding, party and shower stickers I can think to add.

ALSO,

I'm all about my sports that I follow, so I marked all our football games with the brown stickers, and all of the Formula 1 races with the orange. 

At first I thought this might be a waste of stickers, but I actually really love it because it helps me keep track of where I'll be on my weekends. I know if there's a brown sticker, I need to not commit to anything *quite* yet.

Also, I really love that I was able to write in our fun, super weekend in Dallas we're looking forward to in October. :)

I've already put some of the lined pages throughout to good use.... 

(no, you don't get to see those names!)

... and I'm LOVING the stickers they sent along for a special surprise!

Can I just say, though, that I'm in LOVE with the print I got on my personalized stickers, and I SO, SO, SO wish that had ended up being a LP choice. 

And because we all wonder what we're all using...

my writing utensils:

I DO use my fine-tip sharpies on the stickers because I find the ball point doesn't show up very well, and the gel pens take too long to dry. Also, I think the planner sets the standard for colorful, so your pens should live up to it!

I hope you're all loving your LPs as much as I am mine. 

I can't wait to really fill it up!
