Samara Evangeline: My Merry Little Maybook

I like pretty things. Pretty things that are unique and individualistic. Things that make you feel a little happy and special just by having them. Things that when you get going on a busy day, you have this distant feeling that something is really right about the day and you remember, "Oh yeah, I have that thing!"

I present to you..the latest thing. My Maybooks planner.

A fun fact: I have fabric panels (yet to be completed) in gray and mustard yellow that I'm planning on putting up in my cubicle at work to bring a little color and style to my walls I have to look at 40 hours (more lately) a week. This was the reasoning for the color scheme of my 2013 Maybook. Plus, I find this color combo to be contemporary and sophisticated.

OK, back to the books. I first saw these gorgeous little things on one of my favorite blogger's blog. So, I ordered one of the planners for a friend of mine in her sorority colors and a baby bump diary for another friend. Even the package (blue and dark gray on the right) they came in was beautiful!

When I saw these little beauties in person, I had to buy one (*cough* a few) for myself--one to use as a planner, and two others for jotting down ideas for both of my blogs.

May Designs allows you to build your planner from the cover, to the monogram/name/wording on the front of the planner, and finally to what you want included on the inside of your planner. I adore these chic, artsy little planners and plan on adding some of their stationary to my repertoire next!

I love the fun, little details they add to their packaging, too. These details are part of what makes the books so special.
