Cloudy Cow order!


How cute was the packaging for this order!? Adorable.
I saw that Cloudy Cow was stocking these super cute bunny stickers so decided to go all out and buy more washi, sticky notes and another pen too.. Oops!

The stickers are so cool! You get a lot in the box, I think it's either 30 or 50 but I'm not too sure. The designs are so sweet.
The sticky notes are just awesome, I already have the bunny ones and love the quality of those so thought I'd get some piggy ones too.
The washi tapes are excellent quality as usual, I have owls on a line, black hearts, colourful bunting and some weather washi which I thought was really cool.
The pen is longer than I imagined but it's so nice to write with, it kind of feels like writing with a quill!

SeaSalt&Paper order!


How adorable is this paper clip..!?
I saw it on her Etsy shop and fell in love, I needed it!
I haven't got a photo of the back but this bunny has a fluffy tail, such a cute addition.
Such good quality too, so impressed with it.


The tassel is just amazing, it's huge and looks so cute with my planner. If I got out with this planner I do take it off as I'm worried it might get dirty but it looks lovely by sitting pretty in the house.


I'm currently doing a 'no spend' month which is proving difficult as SeaSalt&Paper keeps popping up in my Etsy feed and it's sooooo tempting!

Sticker storage


A rather short post today!
I don't have a great system if I'm honest. The majority of my stickers that don't get used that much are in an A5 binder, but the stickers I use on pretty much a daily basis were getting stuffed into my stationary pouch. And that stationary pouch was getting fatter and fatter! So I bought a pack of wallets from Wilkinsons and all of the frequently used stickers fit perfectly inside one!

I need to sort something out.. but for now this is working much better than stuffing them into an already stretched pouch.

JumpyJess - Halloween set!



How adorable is this dashboard!? And of course the bookmark!

I purchased these from the Etsy shop, JumpyJess.
The delivery time from dispatch from Belgium was very quick so I was very happy with that!

The dashboard is nice and thin which I love as I do tend to add a lot of bulk to my planners so this is perfect!
The bookmark is currently sitting pretty on my excessively decorated Halloween week.





Over all I am very happy with my order. I hope you will be making a Christmas one too Jess!

Order from LittleNoahsArk


I love this shop!
Reasonable prices, quick delivery.. what's not to love!?

LittleNoahsArk

First of all I have to say the quality of the sticky notes is amazing. I have some sticky notes that I don't use because they rip or don't stick at all, so I was so happy with these!
The deco tape is so cute! I love all things Molang so had to have it!
The paw stickers were to mark vet appointments and they're so cute, I think I need to buy the other styles now.

Once again delivery was quick and it was packaged up super cute!

My order from Mrs Brimbles!


I was so excited when I saw this had arrived! 
I can't show everything as some of the items are part of a Christmas package for my penpal and friend, Zoe! So I hope she reads this and spends the next few months wondering what I could be sending her, muahaha!
Here's her blog if you want to check that out - zoeplans

I don't know if anyone else feels like this, but the personal note Anna writes on her cards makes me giddy with excitement because it's like "eeee my favourite YouTuber wrote my name!" Haha, I can't be the only one.. but then again I am a bit odd like that!




So, the things I have ordered for myself are -
The adorable cat sticky notes.



The rocket lolly sticky notes to sit along side my fab lolly ones. I love these!



The beach themed shopping list. I actually bought my mom one of these for her birthday a few months ago and decided I wanted my own.



The adorable mountain sticky notes made by Pygmy Cloud. I have one of the to do list's from Pygmy Cloud and the quality is so good so thought I'd try out the sticky notes.



It was like opening a Christmas present, I just love everything. It's all great quality too so money well spent!

Notebook diary/journal


I bought 3 notebooks from The Range a while ago because they were adorable and only £1 each! I cut 2 up to use in my fauxdori but still had one with no use.

I wanted to give a ringless planner a go, but didn't want to spend a lot of money on one. I was looking at second hand Erin Condren's but they were still £40+ which was too much for me considering I love ringed planners! So I took the £1 notebook and went a bit sticker crazy!




After watching a few YouTube videos I took my ruler, pen and the notebook and started to draw out some monthly boxes, I loved how it turned out so I tried the weekly pages next. For October I decided to go for a different layout to see how that goes, so I'm excited to try that out!




For £1 I don't think I will mind if going ringless isn't for me! I can always go back to it too. I have also been using the space page before the months as a mini journal so it's working out great at the moment!

Dashboard DIY



My personal monochrome filofax makes the perfect Halloween planner!
I couldn't find a dashboard to match it though. I was using a black cat postcard but it just wasn't big enough.
So I had a go at drawing my own! Of course it is a bunny, with added pumpkin!
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, I think it's super cute.



I also made a pumpkin one which I really love, I know I'll be swapping them out all the time!
Charms are from Kawaii Studios and Cloudy Cow.


What I love about making my own dashboards is that I can have whatever I want! They are also very easy to make, I usually make 3+ so I can fit more on a laminating pouch.
I bought a pack of 100 laminating pouches from amazon for around £6 and my laminator was £10 from asda!

DIY Paperclip


I found these adorable felt foxes in Hobbycraft, it was a pack of 4 for only £1!
I got my E6000 glue and a paperclip and glued it on.
 Simple and it looks totally adorable in my planner!


You could use a glue gun to attach something like this to a paperclip though, I use my glue gun when attaching badges as it's easier to control where the glue goes.
I'm a bit obsessed with making paperclips pretty so if I find an odd button it isn't safe. It will be on a paperclip!

Happy mail from Jumpy Jess!


I am completely overwhelmed by the parcel that arrived all the way from Belguim for me!
 One of my favourite YouTubers, Jumpy Jess, recently posted an unboxing video of a parcel I sent her as a bit of a 'thank you' for her making her videos. Especially her tutorial videos which I followed all of and had a lot of fun doing!

I have never received anything from anyone abroad before, so just this envelope was exciting to have! And of course I love the fact is had been beautifully decorated. I do love a good envelope decoration!
The note Jess wrote me was on a vintage postcard from the 50's which I thought was really cool so I'll be keeping that safe.


And inside.. well, I really wasn't expecting anything in return so I was super excited about the parcel and everything inside is just amazing. It's just perfect because each item is something I know I will be using probably every day with my planning, penpalling and journalling/scrapbooking! 
The washi samples were on some lollipop sticks which I thought was so clever, looked super cute too!


I can only apologise for the not so great photos as the lighting has been pretty dire today!

October Brimbles Box


Mrs Brimbles

My first Brimbles Box arrived yesterday. I was so excited to open it!

The packaging was really perfect for this spooky month. And the contents even more so!
The monthly note was printed on the most adorable postcard, which was full of cute ghosts.


I had the personal planner kit and the contents were -
Halloween Project Life cards
Nightmare Before Christmas planner charm
Pumpkin charm pen
Halloween puffy stickers
A bunny/pumpkin paperclip which was specially made for this box!
2 washi tapes
A dashboard for a personal planner which was designed by Anna!


For the money I think they are definitely worth it. They cost £15, not including postage and are sent out at the start of every month.
I'm hoping because I am now subscribed I won't be so tempted to spend elsewhere as I'll be getting a box of goodies each month.. but I'm not sure how long that will last!

Overall the items are excellent quality and I can't wait for this November box! Which I believe is the Christmas themed box WOOO!

BonBonsKawaii order



I need to avoid Etsy for a while ..
I can't help myself, why must these shops sell such adorable items?!

I've been following BonBonsKawaii for a while now but never bought anything for one reason or another. I thought after the amount I spent over the past week or so I should just go for it and I bought the deco tapes I fell in love with.

Each roll has 25m on. I think that's amazing! The Totoro deco tape cost £1.85 and the Sumikko Gurashi deco tape cost £1.95. With the postage they cost £5.10 which I was very happy to pay.
The delivery was prompt after dispatch and the tapes themselves are very good quality. I am very happy with them and I'm sure all of my outgoing mail will be covered in either or both of these tapes!

Kawaii Studios order


I'm just obsessed with Kawaii Studios, I was waiting for Ruth to reopen her shop on Etsy with her extra Halloween stock so I could order the adorable post-it charm, I had to have it to go with my new gold saffiano!
I'm over the moon with it, it's super cute!
It cost £4.50 (excluding postage) which I think is very reasonable for these charms, they are great quality and definitely worth every penny.


Once again delivery was prompt after dispatch and it arrived in perfect condition. The charm itself is very solid and great quality, very pleased with it.

Another SilverDolphinCharms order!



I had to buy the molang theme charm from Silver Dolphin Charms when I saw it, it was just too cute to pass up!

I'm loving Etsy at the moment, I have spent way too much recently but oh well, I love supporting UK based sellers!
Silver Dolphin Charms has definitely become a favourite.

One thing I really like about the owner, Sophie, is that she hand writes the notes inside. I love it when businesses do that, it makes it that extra bit special!

I was waiting with anticipation for my order because I just knew it would be adorable. And it was!
Not only that but Sophie very kindly added an extra charm, her tie-dye star charm which will be for sale in her shop in the near future, which is exciting as it is also incredibly cute and I love tie die things so it's just perfect!


My molang charm is now living on my gold saffiano and they make a perfect pair.
