week 50 [planner love]





I was really starting to feel the Christmas spirit this week!  I know I've been saying this almost every week, but I cannot believe how close we are to the end of the year!  Week 50... wow.

This week I used several stickers, stickies, and some washi.  I also used a Christmas stamp set I purchased from Michael's.




I borrowed the page flag Christmas countdown idea from @the_planned_planner and @jen_plans on Instagram.  I was really excited when I saw it.  Those Target Christmas page flags come with A LOT and I wasn't sure how I wanted to use them.  When I got home with them I realized they were vertical, didn't leave much room for notation, and I really feel the image is in the wrong spot...  SO when I saw the ladies using them as a Christmas countdown, I HAD to do it.  



Here's some of what I used.  The Christmas Owl foil sticker set came from Dollar General.  The tartan pattern washi is from the Dollar Tree.  It's not "true" washi though.  It's more of a decorative "scotch" style tape.  I finally broke down and purchased a Sharpie pen.  I'm really liking it, and I think I'll have to get more colors.  I like that the pen doesn't bleed like traditional Sharpies.  And as always, there's my Frixion clicker pen in black.
