Throw back Thursday - writing journal

Normally, whenever my cats disappear under my bed much annoyance ensues. Last night however, climbing under to retrieve them I discovered they had knocked over a box containing university notes and right at the top was my writing journal. 

During my degree I studied creative writing which involved keeping a writing journal. Mostly at this time I write quotes that I liked, either because they were meaningful or entertaining.

Some pages are decorated with stickers, whilst most are just decorated with a variety of sticky notes.

It was quite amusing flicking through and seeing those things that inspired me whilst I was doing my studying.

Whilst there are a lot of silly and fun quotes, there were some soppy ones too. I decided not to picture those, as st that time it would appear I was a bit of a miserable cow.

It was quite fun looking back through my journal, and I think I'll certainly be starting one again. 

A Blast From The Past

Rummaging in the drawer to find scissors this morning so I could finish my pages for this week, I happened upon a little walk down memory lane.

This is the planner my mum has had since as long as I can remember. It's definitely something I coveted growing up and certainly was the reason I adored planners growing up.

She pretty much uses it just as an address book and Christmas card lists but it's so stuffed I think it's gorgeous! It also has a wonderful smell that only comes with age.

There are stacks of letters stuffed in the back. I didn't want to pry so I don't know what they are, although I love how the envelopes are all aged.

Even more wonderful was discovering my mum has baby pictures of me, my sister and brother stuffed in the front.
