My dog ate my PLANNER Giveaway

The giveaway keeps getting sweeter. I keep finding awesome stuff to giveaway. It will probably last until Tuesday so keep checking in daily.


Confession… I am a school supply addict. I imagine I’m not alone in this obsession. I can spend hours in Target and Office Supply stores enjoying the beautifully made planners. This year I bought three planners. Not sure why but I just NEEDED them.

I was all set until



Well…… remember this little guy.? I left my planners on the floor of my home office and forgot to shut the door. Cooper decided to gnaw on them all. I was DEVASTATED!

I knew I could not drop another 50 or so on a stylish planner.  In searching Etsy for planners, I saw a picture of one that I wanted to learn more about.  Have you seen Plum Paper Designs Etsy shop?


I have found a perfect alternative to my *other* very expensive planner. Actually, my Plum Paper is one of the best planners I’ve ever used.


I love that unlike most planners, the area for the entire month is situated right before the pages for each day of the month. Each month is also a different color, making it super easy to find. 

Are you in need of a stylish planner?
Order Your Own!
If you like what you see and you’d like to order your own planner from Plum Paper Designs, then YOU are in luck!

  2. When my dog was a puppy she ate the cover off of one of my library books. That was an expensive replacement (and the book wasn't even that good!)

  3. I also LOVE planners:) There's something about writing things down in a cute book that is way more fun than logging it in your phone (BOR-ING!). Thanks for sharing these adorable planners!!!

    (And you have my sympathy with the chewing pup. My best dog ever was a chewer. When I was a kid, she chewed everything...including the video (yes, I'm that old) on how to train puppies and one of my best friend's toothbrushes the first time she ever stayed over for a slumber party. sigh)

  4. I'd love the planner!!! We don't have a dog and my dog growing up was an outside one! No good stories here.

  5. Our Golden ate all of our son's Halloween candy - the only thing left was the wrappers. Before he saw it, we ran and bought replacements (50% off!) and our little guy was oblivious! The dog was fine too, shockingly.

  6. Oh gosh, we have a lab and I have to say I haven't had a mishap with her, Raleigh. However she is an outside dog though so that is probably why!

    Great giveaway again!

  7. I can't tell you the amount of stuff my puppies have eaten at one time or another. I actually had a teacher in college have her puppy eat our final.. so we all got As!

  8. I love that Tri Sigma Planner!

    I had a student (kindergarten) bring me his hw and a note from his mom and the dog actually chewed his hw, so the kid brought it in to show me! So cute.

  9. My dogs eat everything all the time. If you go to my blog post here http://teachingisagift.blogspot.ca/2013/07/new-teacher-survival-kit.html, you can see one of little devils and her "who me?" face. I have two boston terriers who I call my little boston terrorists! LOVE THOSE DOGS! I think the worst was when Bella (the one in the blog post pic) got up on the dining room table and ate the chocolate cupcakes! Now that dog knows chocolate is NOT good for dogs...luckily she was fine...and now has a hankering for chocolate icing!

  10. Those planners are fabulous! I just mentioned in my Currently that I needed a great planner for this year. I'm going to head over and check them out! My fur baby Bella chewed the corner of a rug in my bedroom when she was a puppy. Luckily it's on the side that you can't see when you walk in the room!

  11. My sweet Coco died this year...it will be my first school year without her...
    She did not chew up school work, but she did like to crunch the buttons off of any articles of clothing within reach. Didn't ruin anything permanently, just destroyed the buttons!

  13. I don't have a dog but I want one SO bad! Need to move to a puppy friendly apartment :(

    LOVE the planners though! I'm a school supply addict too! I literally countdown the days until the stores start their B2S sales. And I compulsively buy folders, notebooks, pens, etc that I don't need because they are so CUTE!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I love the fact that these planners can be customized! I would love to have one!

  15. I'm so sorry your dog ate your planner - although it's such a perfect teacher story! I love the plum paper planners... the mustache planner is absolutely adorable!

  17. Ok, so I have buyer's remorse. I almost bought from Plum Papers but I went with the EC planner because I liked that it had checklist pages. WEll, my buddy got her EC planner in the mail and it had air bubbles in the lamination and pages were falling out. With the $$$ I hope mine is good quality. Going with PP for next year. :) Love the giveaway

  18. I had a dog dig his way through my old couch!

  19. I have dog mishaps ALL the time since I foster!! I've had my glasses eaten, Dyson vacuum cord chewed up, pillows, beds, shoes destroyed- cookies and cheesecakes eaten off the counter.... you name it! lol but I wouldn't have it any other way! I love my babies and all my fosters!

  20. My sweet kitten, Bella, LOVES to chew on things! I just ordered a new ipad case from groupon & she has already gnawed the edges. Got to love those fur babies!

  23. This may be long, so I apologize in advance. :) We had a dog that had glaucoma so he had to have both eyes removed. He was the sweetest dog (Bailey). We were raising a companion dog at the same time (Yardley). Obviously, Bailey needed pain killers (do you know they make them meat flavored?). Needless to say, you know where I am going, Yardley got out of his cage and ate all of Bailey's medicine. He had to go to the emergency vet and get his stomach pumped and then go into detox. We joke that he has to get random drug tests. :) They both lived after this, even though my husband threatened for Yardley not to. :) They lived happy, full lives after this mishap.

  24. Love this giveaway. My husky eats everything. The crazy dog has eaten Chili's queso that he grabbed and then had on the floor- he then ate through the carpet because it had queso on it. :/ Not to mention the pool chalk he ate when he was a puppy. It's amazing he's alive, but grateful he is. :)

  30. Doggie mishap - Yes, I had bought a name brand purse and left it in my trunk overnight. Somehow, the trunk came open, and the next morning I found my dog in the yard not only chewing the handles of my purse, but he was also chewing my gum! I still don't know how that happened!

  33. It was Christmas. So we were receiving packages left and right from extended family. My husband brought the day's packages in and went to change clothes. I walked in to see our Golden Retriever with his head inside a box ears deep in our spiral ham- foil, cardboard box, packaging, and all were ingested. Good thing he has an iron stomach.
