Stuck on Stickers

So one thing you maybe know about me is that I am a total sucker for stationary. I love pretty notebooks and nice pens and decorative sticky notes. Seriously, stationary stores are dangerous for me to go in to because I will want to buy everything. Not that I need it, but it's pretty and I often justify the purchases to myself with the idea that it will somehow make me more organized or if I just had the little panda page flags it would someone drastically improve my productivity. Now what is even worse than stationary for me is my obsession with planners. I currently use a personal sized 6 ring day planner and I use it to write down important dates and my to-do lists. Without my day planner I become lost. In the new year I plan to upgrade to an A5 sized planner so I have more space to write things down. Now this doesn't sound totally crazy on it's own, but when I start to tell you about the stickers, that's when it gets a little nuts.

So for years now I have watched YouTube videos of people buying sticker kits off of Etsy and putting them into their planners as a bit of a mixture between planning and scrapbooking. This has always struck me as an expensive but really interesting hobby. Not something I could ever justify doing (at least not to the level that these people did it) because spending that much on stickers seemed a little crazy. I've watched these videos for years and find them surprisingly relaxing but had never purchased any sticker kits. Until now.

It started off innocently enough. I bought a sticker kit that had Tigger on it. I love Tigger so I was very excited about this kit. Then I joined a facebook group for the YouTube channel and etsy shop that introduced me to the idea of sticker planning. I started to see more pictures of stickers than I had previously. All the new stickers that this etsy shop was producing were pretty but I resisted. But then they created a Halloweentown kit and I decided what was the harm in buying 1 more kit. It's just 2 kits. That's not bad. That's rather reasonable and they're both for things that I love. Other people have more kits than they know what to do with. Then I found out in the facebook group that the etsy shop was having a massive sale. 30% off everything! It was such a good deal so what was the harm in ordering a few more kits? I'm saving money because of the sale. Right? And before I knew it, I had become a sticker person. 

It started off with 1 kit, how did it end up like this? It was only 1 kit, it was only 1 kit!
