Glad I found you. I like your transparency with your faith. Waiting for my EC planner and would love a note pad ;)
Posted by: Candi | Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 01:01 PM
Since finding you on YouTube I have almost watched all your videos and made a trip backwards in time to catch up on your blogging. I've felt uninspired for some time now due to the stresses of a job I will be leaving in May when my contract ends. You've encouraged me to see past those stresses and pick my life back up! I ordered my first Life Planner yesterday and I'm getting back into Project Life. Thank you for sharing so much encouragement to your followers. May God bless you immensely! Thank you!
Posted by: Jessica | Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 01:10 PM
Thank you for doing another EC Planner video!! I'm getting my first planner this week to start in January and I'm super excited yet nervousness about setting it up just right and decorating it! I love seeing your ideas and having you share yours with us! Another idea I saw on a different blog might work better for you with the gratitudes: they used the important dates in the front of the planner as a gratitude journal! I thought this was a cute idea since it lists every day of every month! Personally I plan to use that section for my daily Bible reading plan as that's a HUGE resolution I have for 2015 and I like having it right there in the front as a daily reminder! I will just put special dates like birthdays in the monthly sections! Just an idea for 2015! Again thanks for doing this video and I am looking forward to your next one!!
Posted by: Brandi T | Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 06:37 PM
Praise God, I'm so thankful for having found your channel on YouTube, my name is Cindy, my husband and I pastor a church in New York (newer to the area:). I probably have no right to be but, I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you in that you share your faith and beliefs in such an inspiring way. Just wanted to let you know you have another pastors wife praying for you, God bless you sweetie :D
Posted by: Cynthia Castro | Saturday, November 29, 2014 at 08:10 PM
This planner is perfect!! Just what I need to get organized for my new job as a Marketing Outreach Specialist. My position requires me to be overly meticulous...which I love! Lol Sending up a prayer that I win :)

I love seeing how other people actually use their planners. Much more interesting than just looking at blank pages.
Posted by: Rochelle | Sunday, November 30, 2014 at 02:34 PM
I really enjoy watching your videos, at times I catch myself getting a bit lazy when it comes to filling out a planner but you make it seem fun. I love the way you fill every page up even if it's putting in bible versus or magazine clippings, I'd really love to own an Erin planner one day & thanks to you I'll have a great experience with it and being organized. I appreciate all the effort you put into making your videos, I hope your audience grows and grows, because you deserve it, love your attitude. Keep doing what you do with you're bolg & YouTube because you really inspire others.
Wish you the best! ✨💛

Absolutely ADORE you and your videos and posts! Not going to lie, I've watched them multiple times and I'm so inspired to scrapbook and be more organized with my life. I'm very visual with projects and my work, if I don't have lists and things in front of me at all times I would be lost. I love all your ideas, I think they're wonderful, I just want to be your best friend haha.
I hope your thanksgiving was blessed. Xx

Posted by: Jackie Shoemaker | Monday, December 01, 2014 at 04:06 PM
Your 2nd video that I've watched! If procrastination was a major, I would have a Ph.D. in it. So a planner would help me somehow. I love that you're so dedicated on what you do. And that verses add so much. It really helps. Thank you for inspiring us.
Posted by: Paula Rodriguez | Monday, December 01, 2014 at 06:48 PM
Just found you this morning!! Struggling with my erin condren planner. Great tips!! Love the stickers, ideas, inspiration. You are amazing!!!!!!!!

I'm really loving your Erin Condren planner videos. What is the best way to start a blog and a YouTube channel? I think it's my calling to give advice I'm just unsure how to start.
Thanks

Posted by: Mya Hinton | Tuesday, December 02, 2014 at 12:24 PM
Wow! It looks like such a great planner. With 3 kids all in school and involved in church, I can't live without a planner. Would love to have a Erin Candren planner. I saw you on u tube and Just wanted to say that what you said about gratitude and your faith was pretty neat, thanks for sharing that. I enjoy hearing about the power of Jesus and how He works in people's lives. He's done so much in my life and I am so thankful to have Him as my Lord and Savior, I really couldn't live my life without Him.

Posted by: Nadine G | Wednesday, December 03, 2014 at 06:31 PM
Omg your videos are very helpful as far as helping me stay organized. I've been wanting to purchase an EC life planner for almost a year but could never find the extra money to do so; especially now that I'm expecting baby #2 everything tends to get overwhelming lol. I think it's a wonderful idea to give us an opportunity to get a life planner so we can start the new year. Continue to bless us with your inspirational videos.
Posted by: Briona Carter | Wednesday, December 03, 2014 at 07:59 PM
I am just loving your videos and your sweet soul! Thank you for sharing and of course I look forward to life planning along with you, hopefully in an EC planner! May God continue to bless you! Yes - HE is amazing! Shine on!

I've watched two of your videos thus far, I love them! I love how you combine your faith, hot pink lipstick, and a planner all in one!!! God bless and have a great Holiday Season.
Posted by: Laurie Ford | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 07:16 AM
Now that I started school again after a year off (after finishing school) I feel like I need a planner but with all the expenses for Pastry School I can't spend that kind of money now and I'd really love to have an Erin Condren one. They're so perfect and now that I'm so busy with classes, and labs, and exams it will come sooo handy! Thank you so much for this giveaway! Kisses
Posted by: SweetMuffinGirl | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 09:14 AM

LisaMarie:
I have been watching your you tube videos and reading your blog for the past few months. When I got my first Erin Condren planner this past year I looked online for how others were using them. That is when I stumbled on your site.
I have learned so many things from you with your EC planner and just how to live a little more "glam" everyday. Thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us and reminding us all how to have a little more "glam" in our lives.
I have really found your channel/blog helpful specifically with my EC planner and I look forward to setting my 2015 planner up with you. I have already ordered an additional little bag of coil clips just to incorporate some of your ideas in to my planner (love the dashboard idea)!
Posted by: Lorelei Kroulaidis | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 01:02 PM
I'm so glad that I came across your video on YouTube and now your blog. I seriously need some better and prettier organization in my life!!! I would also love to win a planner from Erin Condren since I have been wanting one for over a year now. I would love to win the giveaway!!! :-)
Posted by: Timeisha | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 04:01 PM
I love this planner!! I am so busy with church and work that I need one of these. Do I order everything separate?
Posted by: Sonia burgos | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 05:08 PM
The EC planner is now my obsession! Just seeing it makes me want to get organized lol Especially that I'm in college. Thanks for doing this giveaway :) It is going to mean a lot to whoever receives it. God bless.

I think I'm a little obsessed with this planner. Love your ideas.
Posted by: Andy | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 08:18 PM
Hi Breezy! Thank you so much. What do you mean up to date? Just curious, I'll take the complement haha. We're in this together and the videos will keep coming. :)
Posted by: Paper and Glam | Thursday, December 04, 2014 at 08:33 PM
Aww Jessica, I've so been there. Literally thinking most days, "this too shall pass," and it will. Demanding jobs just stifle our creativity and somehow manage to produce a sense of self-loothing at times, at least for me. Hang in there, sounds like the end is in sight. Stay close to what lights you up.
Love from Denver,
Lisamarie

I just had to write and tell you that after watching this video, I can't stop making dashboards... especially project life cards into them. I even bought my own laminator so it would be easier.. Thank you for the idea and my new obsession!! :-)
