I post photos of my multiple planners every week in my Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/selfcareplanner/
My Planner addiction... Started with the Happy Planner below, but grew...
I got this cover to remind myself happiness is a daily choice. Look at the peonies, how can you not be happy? I love this cover!
I thought the cost of the Happy Planner was minimal compared to the Erin Condren planner. Ironically I spent way more in the end after I continued to buy accessories, but I don't regret a dime. I purchase off Amazon as I am psychically disabled and can't get to Michael's Craft Store, which apparently has awesome sales in Canada. I wish the cost of shipping from MAMBI in USA to Canada wasn't so high ($27.00) or I would buy directly from 365 Happy Planner MAMBI.

My style is clutter which I lovingly call collage. I have a love/hate with how much I put on the page. I have been like this since I was a little girl, adding and adding until every inch is covered. Sometimes it is glorious, sometimes I hate it in the end... but I always have FUN!!! I actually bought myself 1 planner to "ruin" and 1 planner (the XL!) to "keep pretty."
I printed off this free design and then laminated the sheets and hot glue* guned pieces onto paperclips to make my own planner flags. I'm really happy with the results -that's the first time I did this -it was fun and easy and quick! *The only thing is hot glue + laminate = non-stick lol.
Made myself an extra cover and BLING *bling* added some planner jewelry, this will do until MAMBI makes some! Faux fur poop would be awesome! Hint *hint*.
I don't have the punch yet, I am waiting for the XL 11 ring punch to come out. So I punch with a hole punch and cut with small scissors to insert cards into my Happy Planner. These are 2 birthday cards that where special and I wanted to save them.
I love to use a pocket to hold bills as they come in! No more late bills or lost papers! My husband loves that there is no more clutter on the kitchen table: because I must have the bills in front of my face daily to not forget about them; now they are neatly organized in my Happy Planner.
Below is my XL Happy Planner, it is so pretty I can hardly bear to write in it! I decked it out in free printsables off Pinterest and double sided glue tape. I love the results! This planner is water colors and soft muted shades. I love it! It is BIG 8X10, a full size of paper, which is great because I can hole punch and add any peice of paper to the planner. It's called Hello Life. I bought the ACR Staples $40 hole punch, which works but the mushroom hole is larger slightly and the stem is shorter (slight negative) but I heard horror stories from others about the Happy Planner punch not working and it's $60.00! Also Arc discs are less than $3 in black and fit it.
These next 9 pages below with thick black line are from the regular sized Happy Planner...
One bad thing about printing "free" paper "stickers is the cost of the ink (for my printer $500 every 1500 pages) and the glue tape. Also the time required to cut them out. Sometimes I can't help it and I print a page, but now I mostly buy stickers. These are from XL planner again...
Accessories!!!
Oh goodness I literally have bought everything they sell! I love it all.
The elastics hold the books and papers safe. The case holds everything.
Washi Tape is now my ADDICTION!
I had to upgrade to larger (gold) rings in July because I added so much stuff! LOL I use the smaller/regular pink rings now to hold my extra supplies, I am just waiting for the cover's I added to come to put a cover on the pink. I also got the tiny gold rings (waiting for it to arrive) which I am going to use for the workout extension pack I bought.

I love stickers and washi tape!!!
Here are my new covers and I love the tiny rings for the 4 month workout Happy planner kit.
Ekkk! The covers literally just came! And the mini discs! I have play/work to do! The coral color of the dot cover is fabulous! I just love it!! Now I need 1 more set of rings to use all 3 covers!
I wanted the big planner but it didn't have all the bells and whistles (accessory add on's) available until Nov.2016, and I got it (18 months planner) July 2016, so I got a smaller one (regular size) too so that I could buy everything to go with it.
This was my birthday gift to myself. I love it. I like to laminate pages and hand punch them and add them in. My planner is so pretty. It literally makes me happy. The big one is for my "good" designs, and for Muse writing.
I had no idea the addiction it would start, and a $50 (?) first investment quickly turned to $200 over a few months so beware of that! Budget and plan.

The first time I write in it, with pastel markers, and it bleed through the paper. SO sad!
I liked to laminate printed pictures I like so I can re-use them in other years.

I love to make mini books out of MAMBI cards. This is a gratitude booklet I made.
