ARTBOX HAUL - YAY

I went to the Philofaxy Meet up (post coming soon, I don't have many photos though) as you all know to buy a Mulberry, and the huge disappointment of not getting one on the day made me have a huge stationery splurge, when I get upset or stressed I buy stationery! I cannot help it, it is a problem!

Here is my haul, I have unwraped most of the stickers though, because they had to go in my new desk! DESK TOUR COMING SOON!!! Exciting news at the bottom of this post!

These were £1.20 diary stickers, 3 sheets per pack, I bought 4 packs!!!

They are just so cute, I love them!

Someone had to point out some Alice in Wonderland Stickers......Lorena I am looking at you!

Sorry one has been used, which you will see in my week this week coming up!!!

The cutest bodyless animals, I bought two packs (do not tell my bank account, it will not be happy)

I bought another pack of these as I ordered some a few weeks ago from Artbox!

I finally bought two Rilakkuma A6 notepads!!! They fit perfectly in the Mulberry!

The last one is the only one I am not sure if I can use!!! SAD FACE!!!

Now the NEWS:

For National Stationery Week I will be holding a giveaway a day! From 22 to 28 April!!! 

I will have 7 giveaways!

Each giveaway will be open for exactly 24 hours! I will announce all the winners on the Monday 29 April!

I am going to buy some of my favorite bits of stationery and give them too you, like a notebook, stickers, stamps, pens, it will all be brand new, and I am trying to get National Stationery week stickers to go with the prizes!

I will require the winner to take a photo of them with the prize, as thats not too hard :)

Next week I will post pictures of all the prizes that will be featured as I am buying them all from my favorite shops, Artbox, Paperchase and Cultpens!

I want to have lots and lots of entries!!!!!!

More information coming soon!!!!

First week of January 2013 Set up!

First of all just to let you know, there is going to be a change in my binder for 2013, which is being posted out soon too me from a Twitter friend - Kristin Very excited!!! It is a zipped 30mm ring personal Sized Binder, so it will mean I am getting away from Filofax YAY!!! And it is more practical for use all the time as I can just zip it all up no matter how messy, and as I like to keep all my notes with me 30mm rings will be perfect! I am allowing myself to go back to my Osterley if I change my mind though, but that is the only change due to the fact that it was such a bargain and so beautiful and practical! Will show you when I receive it, just going to straight swap everything!

Here is my first week of using my Filofax.... obviously it is not all filled out but it is more the layout! This is how every week shall look I hope (and i do not want to remove any used Filofax inserts other than to-do lists and note paper).

I thought the New Year should be signified by a Rainbow as its a new year and they are full of colour! YAY!

Behind my today marker you will see my to-do list, I will have two each week one for personal one for work, i have decided to put them between each week!

I shall also have one finance sheet for each week between the two as well! totaled up EACH DAY!

That is my rough idea of what I am doing!

What are you doing for 2013 with your Filofaxes??

Hobby Craft comes to TRURO!

I was driving home the other night stuck in the traffic when I saw a sign, out the corner of my eye, I squeeled with excitement, grabbed my phone and took a photo....

IT IS COMING ON 18 OCTOBER 2012!!!!!!!!

This is the most exciting news about Truro EVER, now we NEED A PAPERCHASE, I promise to make regular trips and buy things weekly if you open a shop here Paperchase, there are quite a few empty shops and I know EVERYONE would love it.

But for now the excitement rests around HobbyCraft

Filofax Kendal Filofax Kendal Filofax Kendal

I just ordered a new Personal Filofax off eBay, I got it at a bargain price!

I am ever so excited, I ordered the Kendal after seeing some beautiful pictures of it on Flickr it pushed me in to temptation...

Joshua_laporte < his photo

Joshua shows the AMAZING pocket in the back, this got me very excited!!!

I also noticed it has elasticated leather pen loops, and two of them!!! GENIUS!!! Exactly what I love in a Filofax!!! Now I can carry a Pink and Blue Frixion ALWAYS!

After ordering, I have recently fallen in love with Paperchase own brand Filofax paper, and it is AMAZING, they did not have the kraft paper which is brown and thicker, but I will buy some when I go to Plymouth next, I also ordered 4 washi tapes from them!!!

That should be here tomorrow, no idea as to when the Kendal will get here, but I am so excited!!! Monday or Tuesday ?I bet! But still ever so excited, will start on my move this weekend, have it all organised then I can move in and stuff it like a Filofax should be stuffed, I love the tiny rings in my Pocket Malden but I miss the larger size, I don't know why!!!

YAY!!!!!!!
