Planner besties and busy bees, I sat down with the September Intention Box close to midnight, a 9 am meeting on deck, fully prepared to be unimpressed, and of course, Cloth and Paper won me over anyway!

This year's abstract lettering and grayscale palette still isn't my style. However! The Weekly Essentials inserts went straight into my HP Classic planner, the A5 slim sticky notes are headed for my dresser mirror, and I rolled my eyes at the annotation tape right up until I tested it on camera.

This is the second-to-last monthly boxes before the debut quarterly Intention Box arrives in November, so stay for my countdown at the end, and watch for my Big Comparison video coming at Thanksgiving!
