I needed and I mean really needed to find a reason to use these fantastic bottle ties with the also fantastic Father’s Day Subway Art stamp set from My Thoughts Exactly.  Since we are a dry household and don’t drink any type of alcohol but needed some type of glass long necked bottle, I found something even better – Root Beer!  Oh how I love high fructose corn syr….erm…I mean good quality sarsaparilla.

I love this stamp set!  The fonts are amazing.  Even though I didn’t use it in this project, I love the dotted line.  I bet I will be using it quite often.  Here is a look at the Father’s Day Subway Art stamp set:

 
Too kewl, huh?  I thought you would say that!  So many lovely uses.  Father’s day for dad and grandpa, birthdays for the same fellows.  You get the idea.

I have some other good news to share.  It is in celebration of Alyssa graduating from college today, she has so generously provided us with a code to give out for you hoppers!  Use code GRAD12 to save 12% on orders $25 or more!  Pick up a bundle and use the code to really save!  Some of them are the Father’s Day bundle, the Mom/Dad Subway Art bundle,  the Mom/Dad Super Bundle and the now infamous I Want it All bundle!  Hit the links for pricing. 

Now for even more fun – A GIVEAWAY!  Just leave a comment on each of the sites along the hop to be entered to win a $10 gift card to My Thoughts Exactly!  But here’s a twist, for every comment you make on each blog, you get one entry.  That’s 12 entries!!!  Good luck and have a great day hopping!

I tested both options, and honestly, the regular l I tested both options, and honestly, the regular lamination on the tabbed dividers holds up just fine. That means no extra steps and no unnecessary reinforcement. Always happy when the simpler option actually works.
I finished testing, and I'm almost ready to tell y I finished testing, and I'm almost ready to tell you which top tabs work best: reinforced edges on laminate or just our standard divider lamination. 👀

No testing. No “maybe.” This one. 📖✨

6x8 spiral notebook refill, Deluxe Monthly, paired with one of our new romance covers, and yes… it fits perfectly in Coach notebooks. Clean pages, roomy layout, zero chaos energy.

If you’re a monthly planner who wants structure and pretty, this is it.

Testing top tab durability in our spiral 6x8 noteb Testing top tab durability in our spiral 6x8 notebook.
These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏

Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coa Sneak peek at the A5 spirals made just for the Coach notebook.
White plastic coil, slim cardboard backing so it slides right into the pocket, and cardstock covers — personalized, not coated.

Alien cover = Monthly Deluxe (with lined pages in back).
Bookshelf cover = Weekly Horizontal Compact.

We did have to cut the deluxe notes section to keep everything on a smaller coil (so the weekly fits), but we’re still testing what else we can add… including a special feature I’m not spilling yet.

Trying to make this thing as functional as humanly possible — stay tuned. 👀✨

Our A5 Coach notebook is finally getting the glow-up she deserves, and we’re playing with different refill styles to see what fits, flips, and feels right inside that TikTok-famous cover.

This spiral beauty is one of the contenders — and yes, we’re this close to having the perfect setup. Stay tuned… it’s all coming together. ✨📚

Who else is ready to upgrade their Coach with something way more functional than the paper it came with?

✨Who’s got the A5 Coach notebook… and who’ ✨Who’s got the A5 Coach notebook… and who’s already hunting for a refill because that lined pad it came with lasted about 12 seconds? 😅

It’s TikTok-famous and cute, but the “calendar” situation? Yeah… we can do better.

We’re in testing mode to create actually gorgeous refills for it — monthlies, weeklies, and all the pages this thing should have come with in the first place.

Question for you:
👉 What kind of refill would you want first — monthly, weekly, or notes?

Stay tuned. This baby’s about to level up. 📆🌸
