Use the space below to quickly read my announcements and see what’s new. I will put much more on here than what I send in newsletters. I do plan to have special coupon codes and feature voting in this space too!

Mid Year Planners for 26-27 will be releasing end of February and into March. I will be launching them in Etsy and then will send out an email when all are out.
There are new templates in all planners plus some minor tweaks that I think you will enjoy.
The planner line-up is also the exact same as the 2026 planners.
Do you know what takes the longest time to do when designing planners? Re-coloring, images and videos! Designing, dating and linking a planner goes fairly quickly! It is everything else that takes time.
February 10, 2026
On the Series 3 Notebooks and Templates (all versions) when you tap on the 12 Box Divided Lists Blank or Lined, they are reversed. Tapping on Blank takes you to Lined and vice versa. Oops Sorry!
I will probably change them eventually when I have extra time, but it will take a long time to get through all versions and will post here when they have been changed.

Happy New Year! My Infinity Planner and Infinity Journal are now available in my Blissful color palette!
December 17, 2025
Happy Holidays! My gift to you is that today I launched the following:
Series 3 Digital 12 Subject Notebooks (757 total templates)
Series 3 PLUS Digital 12 Subject Notebooks (2185 total templates)
Series 3 PLUS Templates Only Pack (2185 total templates)
Everything you need to know is explained in the Listing Descriptions, Images and especially the walkthrough video. There are Free Trials of everything too!
I hope these new notebooks bring you so much joy, help keep you organized and brighten your day!!
December 7, 2025
The 2026 Free Monthly Planner is now available! Enjoy!
November 11, 2025
Goodnotes had an update today that fixed the line height issue where the line height wasn’t saving in the default preset – YAY!!!!
Series 3 Notebook Update:
Series 3 Plus will have 1900-2000 templates (including covers.)
Series 3 Templates will be exact as the Plus version, just no tabs. Only templates.
Series 3 will be similar to what you have seen in V2 and 2.1 – it will have some color templates, but not all like you will see in the Plus Version.
There are (+/-)156 Unique Templates. This is 69 more unique templates than the prior version. Each Template in both versions will have a heading and a no-heading option. Then in the Plus version you will get 14 colors for mostly all templates. Color will either come in the form of a heading, or be full color.
THEN>>>
The color palettes will be Joyful, Colorful, Blissful and Pastel with 3 versions of each palette to choose from. I will have a white tabbed notebook as well.
This has been such a grander project than I anticipated and I am thrilled with what has become of it.
It will not be releasing in November. You can expect a December release. Then mid year planners will release early 2026 and then I will update the Elevate Landscape notebooks.
Sorry it is not out sooner, but also I am so happy will how this has evolved. I am not rushing a single thing about it. It’s basically like designing and prepping 5 planners in 12 colors.
Talk soon. Have a wonderful rest of November!

New Notebook Updates!
Alright friends, I thought I would tell you a little bit about what to expect from the Series 3 Portrait and the Series 2 Landscape Notebooks that will be launching this Nov/Dec.
- Series 3 Portraits will be coming first, and then the Series 2 Elevate Landscape.
- They will come in Joyful, Colorful, Pastel – however there will be 3 variations to choose from in each palette. Neutral (white tabs will also be an option)
- There will be a FULL COLOR version in addition to the regular version.
- Full Color Templates will launch at the same time.
I had a plan for the new templates I wanted to add and then it just grew and grew. I think you will be thrilled with your options! And, if you like to color code, the full color will be a dream for you!!!
I am not gonna lie, I sit down at dinner at night and tell my family, “this has gotten out of control” because there are so many templates :-) But you will have the option to choose the regular version to keep things smaller.
I will post updates as I get closer to launch (Probably November for Series 3)

2026 Planner Information!!!
Thank you for your patience. I do prefer to get planners out earlier, but I wanted to make some changes to the Deluxe Digital and the Simple Daily Duo, and I didn’t want to wait to do that until the next iteration comes out in 26-27 because that is just too far away!
I have also altered the lineup moving forward and I will post the 2026 Planner Option chart below.
This week I am launching the Ultimate Elevate and then the Deluxe Digital will release either this week or after Labor Day.
The Simple Daily Duo will release after those. (no specific date set yet)
And finally, the Elevate Power and the Elevate Weekly. (no date set yet)
HAPPY FALL!!!

Are you as excited for Spring as I am? Seeing the buds on the trees is the perfect cure for this past winter.
Behind the scenes, I have been re-structuring my product plan because I am always tweaking and finding new items to help get you organized and brighten your day!!
One that I can announce now, is the new Deluxe Digital Duo and the Simple Daily Duo Planners. These do not have a release date yet, but will be out soon to accompany my Mid-Year planners.
What is the Duo? It’s a 2 page per day spread with the daily pages getting a nice overhaul. Then the second page offers all the space you need for your notes, or to journal, keeping everything together. I think you are going to like it! Originally this was planned to arrive for 2026, but I wanted to use it now and since I am a mid-year planner girl, I am getting it out earlier :-)
Also there is a SALE that started today! May 1-11 save 25% off your entire order of $22.00 or more. No codes needed. Etsy will automatically apply it at checkout.
I wish all of you a happy, happy May!

2025 is here and I wish every single one of you a year filled with ease, joy and happy surprises. I do not do NY resolutions and I encourage you all to treat yourself with kindness and don’t be too hard on yourselves or expect too much right now.
Here is what you can expect from me for the next 12 months. Now when I say this, I do always have “a lot”, but often they do evolve as the year goes on, mostly because I have thought of something better :-)
With that said, these are a few of the things I do know:
- The Ultimate Planner will merge with the Elevate Planner and will be the Ultimate Elevate beginning with the mid-year 25-26 lineup.
- I am going to bundle the Sun-Mon start planners with the Mon-Mon start planners. So when you order a planner, you will get both versions. The prices of the planners stays the SAME. I kept them separate so I could see how many people bought each version and now I have 2 full years of stats.
- There will be a Series 3 Notebook in Portrait and a Series 2 Elevate Notebook as well with new templates.
- There will be an Infinity Planner and Infinity Journal in the Elevate landscape style.
- There (most likely) will be a DATED Journal with lined daily pages in both portrait and landscape.
- The Deluxe Digital Planner will be getting an additional option. Right now it is titled “Super Deluxe” for lack of a better name and also because it makes me laugh that it is so silly of a name. It will be the Deluxe Digital Planner, but with a 2 page per day spread – the second page being for lined notes. Priced only a little more than the regular DD.
- I have other smaller items that I want to release as well, templates, specialty journals, etc depending on time.
- THE MOST EXCITING PROJECT I PLAN TO RELEASE (UNLESS I SHELVE IT ONCE AGAIN) IS: TRANSFORM GOAL AND ENERGY PLANNERS and TEMPLATES – Digital and Printable – This is a huge organizational series with videos/tutorials and really a whole new way to think about your life so that you do more, but also have much more time. I have been doing this for 2 years for me, and this summer decided to make it for you too. I am so ***** excited to share it!!
I love creating affordable products to help you make your life easier. I am excited for 2025 and I hope this is everyone’s best year yet! Take care, Erika

New FREE Stickers!
I uploaded some Holiday Light strands, corners and squares today. Yes, I do sell Holiday twinkle lights in my shop as part of the Holiday set, but these are different! Personally, I just felt like doing something other than full on red and green, so I made some other color palettes just for fun! Hope they bring a smile to your face. They are located at the end of the Monthly Sticker section.
Just a reminder that the Free Sticker page is for customers only and do require a password.

Yesterday I launched the new Elevate landscape series to include the Elevate Notebook, Elevate Planner, Elevate Weekly Planner and the Elevate Power Planner (yay!).
For your convenience, I did one video walking through all of the planners so you could compare them side-by-side to see which fits your needs best. Also, as always, there is a Free Trial for everything.
Have a happy and safe Halloween night if you are in the US! 👻
October 13, 2024
Elevate is coming! Whereas I can’t give you a specific date just yet, I can tell you that it should be out around the beginning of November. It has grown into something much better and bigger than I originally planned. There will be 3 landscape planners to choose from, plus the highly anticipated notebook. Happy Fall!!
September 1, 2024
2024 planner prices have been reduced to $4.00. Happy September!

Dark Mode Users: I have been alerted to an issue with using hyperlinks on Dark Mode templates that have hyperlinks either built in (notebooks) or internal hyperlinks that you add yourself. There is a horrible white flash of light when you click on the hyperlink. This is in the dark mode templates that Goodnotes provides in their app, or any you have purchased from me or any other shop.
From what I have learned, it is only affecting some users on Goodnotes 6, possibly only with iPad Pro models. I will keep you updated. I have taken my 2 dark mode notebooks down until I see that this issue has been resolved because it is truly awful! Yes, I know it is only affecting some users, but I don’t want anyone to have that happen to them.
In case you want to test whether it is happening to you, you can go into Goodnotes, and create a new notebook with dark mode paper. Duplicate the paper 3 times, so you have 3 dark mode papers. On the first page create an internal hyperlink to the THIRD page. Then tap on the hyperlink (COVER YOUR EYES A LITTLE BIT.) Hopefully your configuration won’t have it, but I do use the iPad Pro, so I have it on mine :-(

Just a head’s up that on the Free Sticker page, I have noticed that some of the download links randomly give you a different item. I am sure this is just a glitch on my hosting site, but if it ever happens to you, please let me know so I can fix it. It has only happened three times, but it’s odd that it happens at all. Thank you.
July 17, 2024
You might have heard me talk about the new Elevate landscape planner I am working on. At this point I do not have a date for launch. I will keep you updated here, but I would expect around 2025. I have been pushing hard lately with everything and need to just slow down and replenish my energy. Thank you!
July 16, 2024
Today I opened my new website. I thank you for your patience and grace. I had planned to launch earlier, but I received a call that my dad’s health had taken a turn for the worse, and we needed to come and say goodbye. There may be some typos and I will continue to fine tune everything once our lives settle down.
Below are some of the new highlights you will see on the new site.
- Apple Calendar Integration tutorials
- New free downloads
- New free stickers
- You can now shop here and then pay on Etsy

As you may or may not know, I have purposely kept my prices quite low. I do this on purpose, because I know that people go back and forth on digital planners/notebooks, like to switch it up, etc and I never want anyone to feel like they must use my product because they spent so much money on it. This is also why I give Free Trials on almost all of my products, so you are sure you like it before you spend any of your hard earned money.
However due to everyone increasing their costs/fees on my end, I am making the tiniest changes:
All planners will now be the same at $15.00 instead of $13 for Deluxe Digital/$15 Ultimate as I had them.
Notebooks/Templates/etc will stay the same.
Infinity Journal is the same.
Infinity Planner is lowered from $8.99 to $4.99.
Also, instead of continually running sales on planners as the year goes on, I am just going to lower their prices. For example, 2024 planners will be cheaper in May than they were in January. It is easier to do this on my end since Etsy doesn’t allow me to run a sale for more than 30 days and they do not allow deep sales.
Thanks for understanding the small increase and for reading this!!

When the team at Noteshelf reached out to me about a potential collaboration, I was thrilled and honored to be able to work with such a brilliant company.
Noteshelf 3 users can download my FREE 2024 Joyful Weekly Planner in the Templates area on the sidebar.
This planner is not available anywhere else, so please download your free copy today!
Don’t have Noteshelf 3? Use the link below to download it now. They offer a Free and Paid version of the app. The paid version is only $9.99 which is less than many of us spend on coffee in a week, plus you get access not only to my FREE planner, but also hundreds of free templates, stickers, and more.
Personally, my favorite feature of Noteshelf, is the pen selection. I also think Noteshelf writes the most accurately of any of the apps on the market today.

I created a Special Edition, Eras Tour Inspired, Series 2 Digital Notebook because I absolutely love these colors. You can hear all about me and my daughters’ Swiftie evolution if you watch the walkthrough video :-)
This notebook is part of the Series 2 Notebooks, except it has 10 subjects to reflect the 10 eras, AND it includes stickers and a separate notes PDF! Also it is priced at $4.13 because we love swifties in this house!!
