 Welcome to the third post in the Planner Love Blog Series here at Createyou86. As February is coming to an end I wanted to sneak another post into this series. I am a planner girl through, and through, and i love everything about being "that girl". This post is about what i love doing as a planner girl on days that i have all to myself, or even with my other half. Today i happen to be by myself sitting at Starbucks, and putting this post together for you. I am not currently working so i have a bit of time on my hands, and shopping, or window shopping is always a great way to kill time. Here are a few of my finds, and purchases as i perused today.  photo backgrounds?  Life Organized at AC Moore, and those Wonder Woman planners everyone has been going crazy about.  The two items i actually purchased today. Adhesive pockets for a new custom travelers notebook i am having made for me, and those adorable GO WILD paperclips. Those will be going in my studies TN (black and red butcher plaid.)  I have also been crafting these past couple of days, and making these pen loops. They are such an awesomely simple craft to do!  And of course spending time creating this post for all of you! This is my time to relax, and share my day with all of you! I hope that you have enjoyed this short, and sweet post. February has been a rough month for me, but i love sharing my life with you!

 Welcome to the second post in the Createyou86 Planner Love Blog Series. This series within a series is all about pocket planners, and how i use them. I will be doing several flip through's over on my YouTube Channel, and i will be posting tons of photos over on Instagram related to pocket planners. While i have several pocket size planners, it has never been my favorite size. I wanted something that would be super portable, but still able to be super functional. While the size is super portable, the space just doesn't do it for me . I prefer to keep my pocket planners at home. At one point i was using one for social media planning. Some of the pocket planners that i use, and have used are leather travelers notebooks, and others are Filofax brand binders. Why do i keep purchasing them then? Because they are adorable, and sometimes i like to carry them for certain reasons. This week i will be receiving a new handbag that i purchased, and i will consider carrying a pocket planner with me. Although, when i first started purchasing pocket planners i wanted them to be my wallet, and i have found that unless i pear down everything that i have in my wallet, it just won't be possible. I have also thought about using the pocket size for notes, appointment reminders, and brain dumping. Sometimes when i am in the car, and need to write something down i can never find paper to write on, and rarely a pen as well. As a planner, and with as much paper as i own i find this astounding. Below are some photos of my current pocket planner collection. I hope that you are enjoying this series so far. I love getting to share all of my different collections of planners with you, and show you how much i love my planners. LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW: WOULD YOU EVER USE A POCKET SIZE PLANNER?   Welcome to the first post of the February Planner Love Blog Series. This series is all about how much i love planners, planning, and paper in general. In this series i will be focusing on pocket size planners, and several favorite items this season.  This post is for anyone, and everyone in the planning community. Maybe you are just starting out, and are seeing people's planner collections for the first time. Maybe you are a planning veteran, or have been at it for a few years, and you have started to see an accumulation of planners in your possession, and think to yourself "How did I even accumulate this many planners/notebooks?" (even just paper notebooks). This is how i feel, and have felt for a while now. For me, planning has become a collecting endeavor. When i find a planner size that i love i ALWAYS want MORE! For some people this may be a problem, but since i have started looking at it as a collection it hasn't bothered me nearly as much. I have invested AN EXORBITANT amount of money into this hobby, and i intend to keep the ones that i absolutely love, and will plan with forever, and give away/donate/sell ones that i am not IN LOVE with. Just yesterday i donated several planners to the Salvation Army, after trying to sell them on the Facebook Marketplace with no luck. If they don't sell, i would rather donate them to someone in need, and now i know that those types of planners just don't work for me ( Zip Around Planners) so i will never purchase them (Even if the Kate Spade Wellesley Planner is beautiful!) Next lets talk a little bit about my planner collection! My Planner Collection My planner collection consists of around 30 planners +/- There are all different sizes, and brands, but this is a collection i plan to build on, and that i actually use. Below are a few photos of my collection (They aren't organized because they are in a large Victoria's Secret bag, but they will eventually be placed in egg crates (built as a book case) behind my desk when we move so that they are more presentable, and i can keep them organized by brand, and size etc..   I frequently think to myself "Am I a Hoarder?" The answer is MAYBE I AM, but i feel like it is a different type of hoarding because i use the items, and i don't just store them away, or hide them. They are out in the open for anyone in my room to see, and for easy access to me, or anyone who is using them. I feel proud of my collection, and frequently show people who ask to see it. So i guess its up to you to decide....ARE YOU A HOARDER? Normally hoarding is defined as: DEFINITION OF HOARDING noun 1. a supply or accumulation that is hidden or carefully guarded forpreservation, future use, etc.: a vast hoard of silver. verb (used with object) 2. to accumulate for preservation, future use, etc., in a hidden orcarefully guarded place: to hoard food during a shortage. verb (used without object) 3. to accumulate money, food, or the like, in a hidden or carefully guarded place for preservation, future use, etc. I hope that you have enjoyed this post, and are looking forward to the 5 other posts in this series in the coming weeks!
