I am so in love with this piece of artwork for Christmas! When I saw it on etsy for the first time I knew I wanted to offer it as a giveaway. I love clean and simple pieces that make a point. Oh, come let us adore Him is one of my favorites songs during Christmas so it only made sense to have this in our home. I'm not quite sure where I will use it since I have a strict, no decorations before Thanksgiving rule, but this spot is a nice option. Krystal from Epiphany's Corner was such a dream to work with and I love all of her designs. I will definitely buy something else soon!!

So, here are the fun details! Make sure you enter the giveaway below, there are a lot of options so you can collect as many points as possible. I will directly contact the winner a week from today, and they will also be announced below. Good luck!!!

planning ahead.

I am so excited to share my new planner for 2015 with all of you today! As some of you may know, paper products are my favorite!! I could spend hours in card shops & the office supply isles are my favorite in any store. It can be a problem but I keep control most of the time. Picking out my new planner for the year ahead is always one of my favorite fall things to do. I was looking on Etsy a couple months ago when Plum Paper was a suggested shop for my account. I almost died. These planners were so beautiful and the quality looked amazing. I knew it would be hard to steal my heart after using Erin Condren for the past few years, but Plum Paper did it. The layouts were similar (but even better, I think!) and the price was much more reasonable. Take a look below at all of the amazing qualities!!

ps, keep scrolling to find a discount coupon!! 

^^ the front and back have a frosted clear plastic cover for protection

and the metal spiral binding is great quality

^^ laminated tabs so they won't fray or tear

^^ pretty pages for each month (it's the little things!!!)

& a full page for notes at the beginning of each month, which I love

^^ full month view with a section for notes on the side

^^ and of course my favorite feature: the morning, afternoon and evening sections but even better than the EC Planner thanks to the list sections at the start of the week and the end of each day. I always make these lists myself in my current planner so I'm excited that they are already included for the new year....

& the folder in the back is also great for extra papers

So, how do you purchase your own BEAUTIFUL new planner for 2015?!?
