Week Thirty Nine

The weeks are just flying by at the moment, so I've opted for matching themes again this week. I've a quiet week ahead so who knows, maybe this one will be a bit slower? I'm loving using my Malden too, it feels like autumn is really here now I've moved in.

The tapes I've used are from the same set, I picked them up in TK Maxx this weekend. I love the vintage look they give, although the tape measure tape makes me think of school.

It means my next Disney trip countdown starts this week too. I'm so glad I finally get to use my countdown stickers!

The tapes look just as cute in my color crush and I really love how the planners compliment each other.

The real highlight of the week is Sunday, where Mr S and I are taking part in a walk for Ataxia UK. My dad has ataxia, and it's been really hard watching him deteriorate so it's something that means a lot to me. I can't wait to give something back!

Well wherever you are and whatever you're doing, have a great week!

Moving into my Autumn Planners

It's a crisp, chilly morning here; it makes a pleasant break from the drizzle. As such, I decided to stick to my plans and switch out my planners today.

I'm really pleased with how my inserts look with the new planners.

I think that beautiful ochre really compliments my inserts: the pink really works with it.

Likewise my weekly spread is really offset  by the brown. It was a bit scary when I started moving, but now I'm in love!

Likewise, I think the inserts for my color crush look beautiful in my caramel planner.

This week looks fabulous in it too!

So now all I've got to do is make lots of autumnal plans.

The Saga of the Color Crush

A little while ago I treated myself to a malden, and at the same time I treated myself to a color crush in a complimentary color as I thought the two would work well together.

What a drama this turned out to be! Firstly, it transpired that I hadn't been charged the correct amount for postage which incurred a hefty fee from the Post Office. This was then followed by an unsuccessful delivery attempt afterwards.

My first trip to the Post Office yielded further unhappiness as they'd closed early to update their software. I was not a happy bunny. 

Luckily, I was able to collect my parcel today and am all the more cautious about purchasing online. I'll be contacting the seller about my fee, as naturally I'm unhappy but I had a responsibility to check what I was paying when I bought this so shame on me too. Always read the small print folks!

After all it's adventures the box was a little squashed, but not enough to spoil it. 

I just love the hello when you open the box too, it's such a lovely touch.

The colour is called caramel, it's a lovely orangey colour.

It's orange inside too. I opted for just the binder as I plan on using the inserts from my sky color crush when I move into this planner.

Happy planning guys!
