Dollar Tree Haul & MAMBI (Me & My Big Ideas) Note Pages

Hello planner friends,

Well yesterday I finally made it out to The Dollar Tree. Also, yesterday my MAMBI Happy Planner Half Notes and Note pages came in the mail (for those of you who are new to planning, MAMBI is me & my Big Ideas. YAY so this was a really awesome Happy Planner Supply Day!

I had so much fun at the dollar store, I hadn't been there in quite some time due to illness but I'd seen so many YouTube videos mentioning planner stickers and my past as a teacher, I'm very familiar with all the general fun stickers they have but to see specific stickers and supplies for planners was an even greater joy!

So let this haul begin!

First up, here is my mambi half notes and full Note & Graph paper. I got the Half Notes for making daily lists in more detail. I got the full Note & Graph paper for jotting down my novel notes or any detailed notes I need to make that wouldn't fit in the spaces they give you in the planner.



So here are the links to these two items for those interested in purchasing them:

Next Dollar Tree Haul:


I thought this would be great for storing my little stickers that I use quite frequently. At least, this is what I'm going to use for the time being. Eventually I'll get a better organizational system going. Any advice, please share!


These were just randomly thrown in an aisle, I never did find an aisle where these were actually placed nicely to check out other patterns. So I went ahead and snatched these up. Perhaps with the hustle and buslte of the holiday season, my Dollar Tree was a tad disorganized (their Stationary/Office Supply aisle was a mess...) 

However, these are two washi tape on their own tape dispensers. I love the hearts, which I plan to use for Valentine's and throughout February and maybe during the week of my Anniversary too. I also loved the pink flowers, those are definitely being used with a few sticker's I've collected on an upcoming spread this spring. I def intend to keep the dispenser's and use them for my other washi.




The two are Washi Tape (or paper tape) stickers. Aren't these sets just beautiful! You get two pages in each set. These are going to be great for some upcoming spreads throughout the year! Love it!

I'm already creating an owl theme in my head! When I was teaching my classroom was all done in owls. It was so much fun to decorate!



These stickers are SO beautiful! Oh I can't wait for spring to get here because these will be great in some of my upcoming weekly spreads! They also had a couple other sets that I'm going to be getting down the road, too. More Dollar Tree Hauls to come :)


I thought these were adorable! I have a cat and each month he gets his nails trimmed and every two months he gets a full bath. So these would be great for marking his grooming. Who knows, I might just have to do a puppy spread too! :) For National Dog week (if there is one?).


Cute little owls. #1 I might be creating an owl theme but also these would be great to mark for reading or studying/researching. These next two months are HUGE research months in preparation for my debut novel. So these will be getting a lot of use! Aren't they just so cute? Love them!!


Oh my gosh, look at these adorable hearts! They are so being used throughout February for Valentine's day and I'll be getting more to save for celebrating my fiance and my anniversary. I so love the dollar store for stickers, these are just so beautiful with the sparkly silver edges!


These are So cute for spring! I absolutely love them!


Love this, I'm going to be doing a sweet theme down the road and these are going to be perfect for it!



The best!! I can't wait for March and St. Patrick's day to get here! I absolutely love these and I have so many ideas running in my head to create some beautiful spreads, especially for the week of St. Patrick's day! I love the Pot Of Gold sticker's the best, aren't they just So cute!! So sparkly too! I gotta get me some shiny green glitter and gold foil washi!



Oh one of my FAVORITE things I got are these wonderful kits and functional stickers. Aren't these so beautiful! Oh how I can't wait to start using these. I'm going to definitely have to get a few more of these, because I can tell you, they will be appearing in my planner throughout the whole year. I love them! That little bicycle is just so adorable! I'm a historical romance author and that bike just reminds me of something right out of the Victorian era! I might have to create a whole new character based on that bike, a young heroine who sells flowers to the gentry and a dashing Earl begins to fall for her... hmmm ideas! Sorry, us writer's get ahead of ourselves sometimes! But these are just awesome stickers!

I also have created some pretty big goals for 2017 and these stickers also give me a lot of motivation to reach my goals. 

So this was my wonderful trip to the Dollar Tree. I love this store and have for many years now. Well, please share in the comments any goodies you have found this past week and if you shop at the Dollar Tree, what are your favorite planner items, stickers, etc.?

Happy Planning!
