In lieu of me developing a brand, I am letting go of more designs. No long post to support this because I am only taking a break from writing and drawing, so here they are.
(They go with the headers from last week.)

More Back to School Stickers
Hey Everyone,
In lieu of the back to school requests I continuously see in the planner groups I belong to, I decided to whip up a few more today as I get in the groove of drawing with a back to school theme in mind later.
I have a list of 41 sticker ideas I collected from scanning through the comments in Facebook land.
I am in the process of designing them ALL to share on this blog.
Things ranging from countdowns to early releases - I've got you covered. If there are any that you may want go ahead and let me know and I'd be happy to help.
Though I may not be new to planning, I am new to blogging / sharing what I have going on, so don't be shy.
Here are more to hold you over until I release the mother load tomorrow. (Below)
This are all 1.5 inches wide. I will be using these as reminders throughout the year.
My kids will be starting a new school this year (my sister is a teacher there; YAY!) and parent volunteering is a requirement. That is something completely new for me. I have NEVER been to a school function that wasn't a requirement for me to show up. (Outside of award shows and parent nights).
Again this is something that will push me from my comfort zone; it both terrifies and excites me in the same breath.
I need to set things like that into place so that I am able to get back to the world in order to find inspiration. When I first started my writing quest, I spit out about 60k words in my first month.
I had so much to say at first and I knew that it would be good because I read so much the last couple years. Well, my fire died down and I found myself looking for other hobbies, (STILL holding dearly to my Happy Planner). Before I knew it, I put myself in a little bubble again.
This bubble I had around me had to go; it hindered me from achieving ANY of the goals I had set up. So now, its like I am seeing the world again and I have all this inspiration coming out of me. My poor journal will be used up before summer is over.
So enjoy these, hope you guys really love them.
P.S. How have you guys been using the stickers I previously shared? I'd love to see them in action!

Donut Themed Headers
Hey everyone!
I have been super busy trying to get my feet into this Planner Community. For over a year and half, I've been hiding my stationary obsession from even my sisters - and we are SUPER DUPER close.
I'm an extreme introvert who suffers from Anxiety. In the face of that, I think I do well in public. I will say that I really suck at paying attention when someone is talking. My mind either is thinking of something I want or need to do; or I am thinking (and sucking at waiting) of a burning question I want to ask mid-sentence.
That whole ordeal is the story of my life.
Every time I learn something new in the planning community, something else catches my attention before I fully grasp what I am learning. Same for writing. I have a few novels saved in my laptop not quite complete; short stories too.
I am constantly reading at least 3 books at one time. Well, let me clarify that, I am always in the middle of a self-help, inspirational, or writing novel on any given day. All while reading a fiction one (and finishing them quickly).
But back to planning. I had a few beautiful designs saved in Silhouette Studio to print and sell in my Etsy shop but they were lacking my personal touch. It had me dragging my feet when it came to actually releasing something.
I kept reflecting and wondering what made me different from the hundreds of other planner chicks out there. Well now I know; I can draw and very much enjoy it.
When I incorporate everything I have any interest in, I come up with some cute girly ORIGINAL stickers. So now I know the direction I want to take this blog and as well as my Etsy shop: and they are two distinctly different ideas and designs. (I will say I am toying around with releasing the hand drawn items in Etsy and designing FREE companions on this site.)
I think that will help me relax a little and give me a little purpose to actually grow in all of this. I've said before, the hardest part for me is putting myself out there.
Despite the fact that I talk so much about me, I am really private about what is important to me; including my kids. For a long time I couldn't shake the fear of being incorrectly judged by people. (I have a whole blog post planned on the why's of this, don't worry). But I'm saying screw that and I am just going to start putting out what I like and what interests me and hopefully there will be others who will agree.
SO... in honor of all that jazz, I will be releasing the designs I intended to sell here throughout the week. I am trying to get a schedule going that I will actually follow, so bare with me because I have some GREAT, ORIGINAL items coming! So here is a treat while you wait!
Hope you having a great day!
Until next time,
-Dom
