**UPDATE May 22, 2024**
After months of buildups and announcements about this website closure.. surprise! I'm back!!
*laughs and cries in "exhausted with myself". Sigh*
CannaPlanning is still retiring, but I've decided to keep the Shopify store open till all inventory is sold. That means products are still final stock and will not be brought back after sold out, but this shopify will remain open until all products are gone.
WHY???
Let me tell you, I *instantly* regretted it as soon as I closed the shopify at end of April. Etsy is an absolute dumpster fire nowadays anyway, but I realized I was most sad about not having an easy way to list 'freebie' misfit products because etsy doesn't allow listings of free items, and I hated having a go-between where someone else is a middleman between me and my customers.
I thought I would be glad to reduce some of the work and expenses of managing two sites and keeping everything in sync, but honestly, I learned that I'd rather do some extra work a while longer, if it means I get to have a home base where my customers know me, and aren't inundated by other junk products and terrible-quality resellers.
So, I've decided to come back to Shopify till all inventory is sold. I'll cut back on marketing and other expenses, but this storefront is here to stay a little while longer.
Thank you for all your support!!! You all literally mean the world to me - you're the reason this website came back :) - Mari
**ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT January 1, 2024**
After 6+ happy but hectic years of operation, CannaPlanning is slooooowly starting on the road to retirement!
I've loved having such a fun store and meeting so many amazing people, and after so many years, I'm pooped out, haha! It's a LOT of work to constantly be creative plus do product design, manufacturing, marketing, order packing, providing customer service, working with vendors and suppliers and shipping partners and equipment and promoters, and sooo many other aspects of running a business - it's been basically a full time job, on top of my actual full time job, for the past half-decade. After all this time, I finally need a break. :)
So here's what this means for you:
⭐️ Retiring the store will be a loooong process because I have lots of inventory from years of purchasing and producing that I'm going to sell till it's all gone, so I'm definitely not going away tomorrow. But I'm slowly working through every single product in my store to grade and count inventory, and update each listing with the final quantities on hand and a "retiring" designation. As products sell out, there will be no further restocks.
⭐️ I'll be making lots of new Misfit Grab Bags in the coming months as I work through all my inventory. If you love surprises and fun goodies you might have missed, keep your eyes peeled for newsletter updates when I release new batches. the first sets are live here right now: https://cannaplanningstickershop.com/collections/highlight-products
⭐️ This main Shopify store will stay open through 4/20 so you can still accrue and use all your reward points through the holiday. Then at the end of April, I will be transitioning the remainder of my inventory exclusively to Etsy, and closing this Shopify.
If there are any products, designs, or colors that you want to stock up on before they're gone forever, now is the time! Some products have enough inventory that they'll still be around on Etsy for another year or two, but many are super popular like my labels and trackers, or are down to the final few pieces, and won't last till the close of my website. Don't let someone else beat you to the punch!
⭐️ Also, this is your reminder to **use your rewards points** - they won't be able to transfer over to Etsy, so don't lose out on the discounts and free items you've already earned! Visit CannaPlanning and use the "rewards" button or icon on the main page to view and apply your credits before the end of April!
⭐️ On May 1st, the address CannaPlanningStickerShop.com will start pointing to my Etsy store, and this Shopify will no longer be accessible.
💚💚💚💚💚
It's been a wild ride and a wonderful experience meeting so many new friends in the planner and stoner communities. You've all been so kind, inviting, friendly, and positive - it's been an absolute blast and I'll be forever thankful to every single one of you for how welcome you've always made me feel.
If you have any questions I didn't answer, you're welcome to leave them below and I'll respond asap. In the meantime, I'm wishing each and every one of you an amazing start to 2024! CHEERS!!!
Lots of love and big stoner hugs - Mari

Hi Stefanie, thanks for asking! I’m not opposed to selling, but my files were designed in the Silhouette software and sadly are not easy to convert because of how I put them together originally – they’d mostly need to be remade from scratch to convert correctly to an SVG unfortunately (I say from experience).
I’ve dropped you an email to make sure you see this response, and i’m very honored that you’d even be interested in such a thing. Thank you so much for asking!!
Hi! I’ve purchased from you before and I love your designs. I also have my own Cricut. Would it be possible to purchase SVGs of some of your designs for personal use? Thanks!
