How to Organize Sticky Notes and $50 Erin Condren Giveaway!



Spring is in the air, and with new seasons come new ideas! Remember the tea organizer from my post where I showed you how to create your own hot beverage station?


I realized that this handy organizer can be used in numerous ways. Those of us into planners are always on the lookout for ways to store our stationery. Well, the tea organizer fits sticky notes and washi tape in it perfectly! 


If you're like me and have a small collection, you can make everything fit inside here. I like to complete using my stationery before buying new things. However, if you're a planner addict and have a collection MUCH larger than this (thank you, Target dollar spot), then you can use this organizer to hold your frequently used items on your desk. 


Place your sticky notes organizer, pen holder and planner in a tray and you have your very own planning station! This is a new happy place in my home :)

I use the Erin Condren Life Planner. Make sure you check out my honest review of it and also how I personalize it inside. If you're interested in buying the Erin Condren planner, you can get $10 off your first purchase by using my referral link! 

Here's where you can purchase the tea organizer:


And finally, I have a giveaway for you! One lucky person will win a $50 gift card to Erin Condren! Just comment a fun fact about yourself down below and you'll be entered into the giveaway, which runs until March 27th. The giveaway is international, but please keep shipping costs in mind if you're a reader from abroad!

I'll start with the fun fact: I am an Indian-Pakistani-American who has lived in the United States, Malaysia and United Arab Emirates. Residing in so many countries and experiencing their cultures has given me a new identity. I love traveling and learning about new places just as much as I love to organize! Your turn!

I hope this post helped! Don't forget to Like this Page on Facebook and Follow me on Pinterest for more updates. You can also follow me on Instagram!

Good luck on the giveaway! :) One entry per person please, and make sure to tick the "I commented" button on Rafflecopter after commenting!

    I am a stay home mom of 7yr old twins who are in sports and activities. Im a room mom and on the PTO etc.. I have always used a ring binder until this past month when I caved in and bought a Erin Condren and I.am.in.love! I am in the throws of trying to figure out how to organize all the the planner supplies I now think I need. I just noticed your section of products I use so I will be reading through that next! :-)

    I am a working mom of two smart, kind, beautiful daughters. I am an elementary teacher and I have been teaching for 13 years. I have taught in Hong Kong and traveled throughout Asia and New Zealand. I currently have an Erin Condron teacher planner and I love it. I am new to planner personalizing but after reading your post I think it will become a new addiction...er..ahem...activity for me. :)

      It's crazy how personalities change as you grow older, isn't it?! As a child I used to hate tufted furniture, but now I'm obsessed! Haha :) Hope you enjoy your planner journey!

    My name is Deb and I'm a 60+ planner/art journal addict. I have 5 grown children who have blessed me with many, many, many grandchildren. I use my planner to keep track of their activities that I'd like to attend as well as my own. I tend to doodle in my planner while in "waiting for something" mode.

    Fun Fact about me: At my oldest son's Cub Scouts meeting last night, I let a tarantula crawl on my face. I also got to hold a 12 ft Albino Burmese Python! We had a reptile rescue come in to show the boys different animals and I faced 2 of my biggest fears, spiders and snakes!

    I am also an Indian-Pakistani-American and I love to organize all aspects of my life. My fun fact is that I am label maker crazy. I have to label everything. My drawers, my tabs, my binders, my spices, my closet, etc. I just go head over heels when things are labeled!

    I am new to the world of planners, so basically still an amateur! I learn all my stuff through your blog plus others. I cannot wait until I become experts like you all. Though, I have gone crazy with stickers, sticky notes, washi tape, and planners!!! No matter how old I get, am always going to be a kid at heart. I LOVE COLORFUL THINGS!!!

    Hi! I'm 33 and a new mom to a 10-month baby girl, Gwen. She's the apple of my eye! Fun fact about me is that I consider myself an extroverted introvert. To meet me, you'd think I'm cheery, outgoing and social but I actually prefer alone time whenever possible. Strange but that's me! :)
