Ill explain more below.

Whats Inside the 365 Planner?
Your Create 365 Planner typically includes:
What Sizes do Happy Planners Come In?
That means youll be making a trip to AC Moore, Hobby Lobby, Jo-Ann, or Michaels!
I purchased mine from the Michaels Create 365 Planner display.
And I chose my planner based on the same criteria I expect you would use:my favorite cover!
The covers of the Happy Planner are beautiful I really, really love them!
They are also laminated for people who are hard on their planners like me (guilty as charged).
Having said that, I did see some girls at the class had customized their own covers.
That was cool too!
The inside of the planner has pretty calendar pages and dividers with a different graphic or quote on each.
This is what mine looks like above.
So lets say you bought your Create 365 planner whats next?
How to Customize the MAMBI Planner
This is where it REALLY gets fun.
Youre going to decorate your MAMBI planner with all sorts of items.
This is also where people get confused, so let me tell you where I started.
I bought some stickers.
MAMBI STICKS
Now the are a bajillion stickers in existence.
you might purchase your own, or the brand ones (asmallsampling of which are shown above).
Theyve also provided areas to write in a lot of the stickers.
You would NOT believe the selection: washi inspired, gold foil, clear,chalkboard.
and in every style you’re able to imagine!
There are family themed, school, vacation, wedding, fitness, travel it can be really overwhelming.
So my advice to you what do you have coming up in the next few months?
Buy for that, as well as a few general themed that you might like.
you could always go back to the store or place another online order!
I started with:
Yeah, I went a little crazy with the stickers.
Its patterned, so adds instant pretty to the page.
I already have tons of washi tape so I didnt purchase any .
THE HAPPY PLANNER STICKY NOTES
Heres what I like about thesticky notes they are removable.
I got theTo Do pack.
I like that the left edge is pre-punched so I can keep it in the planner.
Of course you are welcome to get any sort of Post It notes or flags that you like!
These were in such fun shapes .
But you’re free to also cut Post Its into fun shapes.
MAMBI PLANNER DASHBOARDS
About thoseDashboards.
Dashboardsare just clear dividers with tabs at the top.
The surface is clear plastic for stickers, temporary notes, etc.
that can easily be removed.
I bought one pack.
MAMBI PLANNER FOLDERS
The planner hasfolders.
which for me, were a MUST have!
I absolutely have to have these for work.
So I bought one pack (the design you see in the middle above).
Theres one last thing I want to share with you that I learned about in my Michaels class.
HAPPY PLANNER EXTENSION PACKS
Extension packsare used if you have a specific need.
Let me just guess:
Amy youre nuts.
I cant afford all of this!
If I want to become a planner person, Im not buying all of this stuff.
I totally agree with you!
This post was meant to convey what I learned about the Happy Planner and share the possibilities.
Heres what I think you should do if youre interested.
But you know what .
Ive thought about that before EVERY single one of my creative pursuits!
I find my path eventually.
