Week Eleven

My week feels busier than it looks this week so I've gone for matching themes in both planners. It's ended up rather pink so I added pink stickers just to put the icing on the cake, using some sweet ones I bought from paperchase. 

As our kittens have arrived, I opted for kitty themed washi and stickers, using both aristocrats and hello kitty. This started the pink theme off which I then added to with some skinny pink washi.

I decided to add cat themed paperclips this week too, although I'm not sure they're too durable as they're made using paper toppers. 

I hope you're having a good week whatever you are doing! 

To do list with a twist

I'm forever writing myself to do lists and they're usually very linear with tick lists and highlighting. I thought I'd try something else after playing around with some fun post it notes. 

The sticky notes are Pickle Parade notes which I got from Amazon. I love the cute cartoons and funny expressions on them. They have spaces to write on, then I colour them in with crayola two stables when I've completed the task on my list. 

It's certainly made completely chores much more fun than my usual tick list. If anything I'm getting through my to do list faster so I can colour the little guys in.

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.

Stickers

So, it's pretty clear one of my new weaknesses is stickers. Needless to say I couldn't resist picking up some new ones to add to the collection today.

I've been eager to add some Hello Kitty goodness to the planner stash for some time, so couldn't resist these.

There were two themes available so of course I did what every good hoarder does and chose both! I love the red ones, I think they're really funky but I also think the pink ones are really sweet.

I also indulged in some cat stickers as I was really needing a cat fix today. In other news I'm also temporarily prohibited from browsing the pet finder website as I start to suggest we should adopt every cat on there. The occasional puppy too.

Inspired by Hetty, I picked out some hedgehog stickers too. These will be great for a lovely fall spread once I get my Filofax. I'm thinking I could match them with some orange and red tape.

Stationery Friday

Mr S has come up with a new tradition: Stationery Friday. This involved another trip to my favourite store, Paperchase. I was really spoilt for choice in there today and didn't know what to pick. In the end we settled on some washi tapes and stickers as you can never have enough of those.

I couldn't get enough of close ups today either, there were so many cute purchases! I love this tape, it oddly reminds me of dreams. Maybe that's what the range is called? Either way I love the pastel colours and the sweet little cartoon characters.

We picked out these as well, mainly I have to admit for the orange cat tape, although I'm in love with washi in general at the moment.

I love these stickers, they have a wonderful vintage feel to them. I feel like they should be used with lace doilies and things with tea cups printed on them. I particularly liked the cherries but then I can seldom resist a good cherry print anyway!

These too have that vintage vibe, I may have to plan an afternoon tea and have that theme for a week in my planner. It's even giving me the urge to make cupcakes!

Mr S picked out the rockets which are pretty funky anyway but I love the fact that the rockets are being driven by cats. I'm definitely a cat lady, and since ours sadly passed away the house feels lacking, but it's too soon to get another cat yet (not that I'm not getting the urge anyway)

I love these sweet little stickers too. I'd love an orange cat so these put a smile on my face and I think they'll work well with the cat themed washi tape. I've started to try and think about themes to put together rather than just selecting random things because I like them.
