Week Four

So technically it's week 3 and a half, but where is that time going? It'll be February before we know it! 

This week ended up very pink again, but I promise I do have other colours... Honestly! It was inspired by some unicorn post-it notes I picked up in Paperchase, I just couldn't resist a bit of magic and sparkle after a cold, wet weekend! 

There's not a lot going on this week so my page looks quite bare at the moment. Most of the supplies I've used are from Hobbycraft, although the pony stickers are from Tesco and the chevron tapes are from Hobbycraft.

I absolutely love the hole reinforcers which came from Amazon, I think they compliment the pink theme really well. I was going to save them until valentines but I'm impatient and couldn't wait that long!

Now just to make my week a bit busier to  fill in the white spaces. I hope you have a good week too! 

Week Three

Are we seriously on the verge of week three of the new year already? I suppose it's technically 2 and a half weeks in but even so it's crazy how quickly it's going, we'll be at Mr S' birthday before I know it! 

This week I've opted for a cat themed week which ended up as a very pink and cheerful week. I could have quite happily smothered my page in more stickers but I think it would have been a touch over the top! 

I was surprised how much cat themed stuff I've acquired in the build up to Christmas, I was spoilt for choice.

This awesome tape came from a bundle I got from eBay and prompted the use of pink tape throughout the rest of the page.

These paperchase stickers I thought were perfect given the pink cat theme. I tried to be sparing with them as I thought a whole page might be a tad much, although I could be in denial about my crazy cat lady roots here.

I loved these little kawaii stickers; I couldn't resist adding them to my page. They came from Amazon. I do think I'm going to need to search for some cat themed paper clips to make this page complete though.

This page has completely added to my excitement as in four weeks we are getting furbabies of our own. We've always had cats, although we've just come through a brief spell without them which has been beyond bizarre. Still, I'm sure our new babies will prompt lots of photos and inspire a few more cat themed pages before the year is out.

First week!

Ok you lovely lot, I am very pleased to be able to share my first pages from my organiser with you! 

 I'm not entirely sure how happy I am with this page but love the effect of the cute characters in the tape. Both stickers and tape were from paperchase.

I've also decorated a double spread for this week. Again I'm not too sure on this, maybe it's beginners nerves? We're off to  Disneyland  Paris to see in the New Year tomorrow, so I've used a combination of Paris tape, which I received for Christmas  and the Disney tapes which I already had. 

I decorated using Mickey stickers which came from Amazon, and felt the little travelling themed post-it's made a cute addition to the page as we're technically travelling this week.

Insomnia Strikes Again!

Well, I've come to the conclusion that two things need to happen and fast: firstly, I need to start sleeping at night instead of perusing Amazon and secondly, I need Christmas to hurry up and get here so I can get decorating with my planner instead of planning what to put into it.

This is my latest arrival from my late night shopping. Nothing expensive or outlandish, just a couple of cute post-it notes to pretty up the place.

These little Russian Dolls were too cute and although they're only tiny as they're meant as flags I could not resist them. Added bonus, they were only about 80p which made them even more alluring.

I also picked some sweet little patterned tabs that would work both as flags or even almost as washi to help pretty up my pages. There's a good variety of colours and patterns to work with most themes.

And lastly, look at that little face. There was no way I was going without one of these in my life. Adorably, the brown card he's sitting on folds into a box so he becomes a cat in a box. As a self confessed crazy cat lady there was no way I could go without one of these. They send the design at random so I may well even treat myself to his friends as well.

New Pens!!

Now these little beauties have been much anticipated and desired since I first clocked them on Pinterest a little while ago. I've always been a big fan of the frixion pen and as you know am a big fan of pens in general. I was delighted when I clocked these on Amazon and was jumping around the living room when they arrived.

The colours are rather gorgeous and I don't think I can wait for the Filofax to start using these, Christmas is still just too far away! Added with the fact that I'm clearly also massively impatient, waiting just does not seem an option for pens as fabulous as these.

If you're thinking of ordering these, be prepared to wait. Whilst they arrived exactly when the supplier said they would, I had initially thought this might be an overestimation as they were coming from Japan. It took about two weeks for them to arrive so I'm just putting it out there: be patient!

I also realised I still had these the other day. It's a little slice of nostalgia for me as I remember getting one in my stocking when I was about 7 or so and was delighted when I found them in the pound shop. They make pretty patterns when you spin them. Not as elegant as a spirograph but still plenty of fun. I feel a crafty afternoon with my niece and nephew coming on with these!

They're fabulous aren't they? Spinning tops with felt pens inside them. It's the simple things eh?

Amazon

Some goodies arrived for me today from Amazon for my Filofax, It was a little bit like Christmas coming early actually as I'd completely forgotten I'd ordered them!

This masking sticker set, although A LOT smaller than it looked in the picture is super sweet! The papers are really pretty inside it and I'll be able to make lots of use, plus it's a nice size to just tuck into a pocket of my Filofax whilst I'm on the go.

I'd completely forgotten I'd ordered these sweet little stickers, and it's taking everything to keep my inner child from opening them and just sticking them everywhere. I love cats and sadly we lost ours last year after he was hit with a car, so anything cat orientated is pretty much a must for me I'm afraid. These'll be great for appointments and things as they're so diverse.

 I opted for some Filofax branded stickers too, although they're a bit dark and small but nice enough. very practical. They'll be handy for helping me to remember important dates etc, but I don't think I'll be too disappointed when they run out.

It's a bit chilly here so I'm going to wrap up and drool over these beauties with a nice cup of tea. Today's tea is brought to you by Tinkerbell!
