I'm linking up with Meredith over at The Tichenor Family to show off my 2012-2013 Erin Condren Life Planner. I'm very excited about this year's model and all that it has to offer.

This year I went with the viva españa -mod floral design for my Life Planner. I like it, it's much different from last year's zig zag print. I believe sometimes you need to switch things up a bit, but I have to admit I already miss the zig zag. As much as I really like the mod floral, the zig zag print is just more me.



I love the new photo sticker "add on" option. I did five pictures, five baseballs, holidays, and a few general designs from the Erin Condren design files. I really love how these turned out.



The two-page monthly spread at the beginning of each month is such a wonderful addition to the Life Planner. Even though the Life Planner has the Perpetual Calendar in front, I plan to add birthdays and anniversaries here on each month. The truth is I forget to reference the pages in the front.



I also love the sturdy aluminum coil and the larger flap for the "keep it together" folder. I ordered extra blank stickers too. I found myself not using them last year because I was afraid I would run out and then I ended up never using them. I plan to use them A LOT this year!



The laminated tabs might be my favorite addition because it keeps me from having to pull out my packing tab to self-laminate them like I did last year! It wasn't a big deal but the upgrade is much appreciated!

Colored ball point pens were another fun addition Erin added this year, watch this quick video to see what other pens I love to use with my Life Planner.

    I so want to order the 2012-2013 planner but I still have 6 months left in the 2012 one, I can’t bring myself to buy until a bit closer to 2013.

    I love these planners and I drool over them every time I see someone post them–but I don’t use a paper calendar. Ever. I’ve tried. It’s google calendar all the way for us because I can email all the additions and changes to my hubby. Functional, but certainly not as pretty.

    I like your cover choice. I’m trying to figure out what other color choice would look good in that pattern as well. I love the sharpie pens with my planner and I’m going to get some of the flair pens in the ultra fine point.

    I loved my life planner last year and can’t wait to get my new one. I’m a little disappointed because it’s been over three weeks since I ordered and I still haven’t received it. Hopefully I get it soon!
