Sidetracked Home Executive (via Flylady)!
Stationery supplies make my heart happy; 
notebooks, journals, papers, pens, markers, 
file folders, planners, etc.

yard sales this past weekend and I saw 
a fellow "SHE" selling a portion of her 
stash, I was like...


Then during a little crafty time,

I even found a little 
resin flower to match!



I now have a pretty covered 
notepad for my purse...




I like when everything coordinates!!
