World of Wizardry Subscription Box (December 2016)

GEEKGEAR

When I found out about this subscription box I knew I had to have it! I had watched unboxings on YouTube from DemiSiriusly and saw the code NEWSUB10 for 10% off the first box, so I thought why not! I will definitely stay subscribed though because the contents are fantastic!

You can subscribe and they take an automatic payment of £19.99 (excluding £2.99 postage) every month or to try it out there is the one off option which is £24.99 (excluding postage). 

There are also options to select your Hogwarts house and t-shirt size.

First off the box is so sturdy! It's very good quality, I'll have to find a use for it because I don't even want to recycle it!

(Haven't even opened it yet and I'm practically gushing over a cardboard box)

I opened the box to this.. lots of yellow! Love it!

The first thing I picked out was the tshirt. It's really nice quality and one of my favourite quotes from JK. Also with it being yellow it matches my Hogwarts house!

The next item is this awesome magnet, it's really big! There were a choice of neon colours and I got the yellow.

Next is this really lovely quality crest patch. This will be a very nice addition to my collection.

Then one of my favourite things from the box, this Hogwarts keyring. It's got some weight to it and I can't wait to put it on my bag! 

These items I am super impressed with and VERY happy to have because I was actually going to buy them! I have pretty long fingers, or long enough that they don't fit in normal ladies sized gloves, but these fit perfectly! And I can keep them on if I need to use my phone because of the touch screen fingers!

Isn't this adorable?!

I don't drink hot drinks but this will look SO cute on my Harry Potter bookcase. 

It was packaged so well, lots of bubble wrap and tissue paper.

The last item in the box is this amazing art work print! I'm starting to build up my Fantastic Beasts collection so I am very happy to add this in.

Overall I am incredibly happy with my December box and I cannot wait for January!

I paid for these items myself, all views are my own.

DoodleandDotStore order!

I kept seeing this new paperclip shop pop up in the planner groups I am in on Facebook. I kept telling myself nope, I don't need any more paperclips right now. But then there was a sale on the Christmas paperclips and the bunny and cat ones I wanted were still there so.. I bought them!

So here they are! From DoodleandDotStore on Etsy.

Quality wise they are excellent, really well made. Not to mention super cute!

I will definitely be ordering again.

CHRISTMAS!!

My Jamie Notes planner has been all jazzed up for Christmas. I didn't know if it was too soon for Christmas decoration but I saw the Tesco advert and it said "Christmas, bring it on!" .. So I thought why not!?

TA DAHHH!!

Halloween planners

So I'm using 2 planners now, one I won in a giveaway on Instagram and I absolutely love it! I believe it's called a Fringe planner. It's spiral bound and honestly it's the most amazing planner I have used. I was only using this on its own for a few weeks but I couldn't take it out with me so I decided to keep a personal planner with me for ease of carrying around. It's more minimal in decoration but I still like to keep it pretty so I actually use it!

This is the planner and my other prizes I won in the giveaway, it was lorettaplans who hosted it.

I love the cover on this planner but I wanted to have some seasonal ones so I made one for Halloween. (I also made some Harry Potter ones!)

Once I made the new dashboards/covers I laminated them, hole punched them and then cut some slits in so it's easy to change them out.

Really happy with how they turned out!

My personal sized planner is currently the monochrome original filofax, perfect for Halloween.

The acrylic charms in the photo are from KawaiiStudios and the pumpkin is from my shop, AlyMarinaCraft!

This is how it looks when you open it up. I'm absolutely loving this dashboard, it's from MyPrettySummer (I have 3 Halloween dashboards from MPS but this is the one I'm currently using.)

The paperclips are from MyUnicornPlanner, MyPrettyWeek, CherryBlossomInTheMarketSquare, last years BrimblesBox and a handmade one.

I'm loving how my planners are looking for Halloween but I also can't wait to decorate for winter/Christmas!

MyPrettySummer dashboard hauls!

So I adore the dashboards from MyPrettySummer and I thought I would do a quick blog post showing off my recent purchases!

Emma was super kind to make me a Deathly Hallows dashboard with this order which I absolutely love!

The quality of her dashboards are brilliant, the colours are so vibrant.

It's never to early to get ready for Autumn right!? Personally I can't wait for the Christmas dashboards.. hehe!

The A5 dashboard will go perfectly with my Tangerine Kikki K.

Fluro pink original set up

I am now the proud owner of a fluro pink original! It's one planner I have wanted since I started planning 2 years ago.

This is a quick walk through of my new planner.

Paperclips are from MyUnicornPlannerUK, pink tassel charm is from CloudyCow and the Deathly Hallows charm is from my shop AlyMarinaCraft!

I haven't edited any of these photos because of how bright this planner is. It's hard to capture the true colour of the fluro!

Inside my planner I have my Frixion pen, paperclips from MyUnicornPlannerUK, a magnetic paperclip/bookmark from BeedooTo and dashboard from MyPrettySummer. I keep some stickers from KawaiiStudios in the pocket too. The Jon Snow paperclip is one I made myself.

This is a pocket I made to house my most used stickers. It was some double sided paper from a 12x12 paper pack from The Range. 

I keep this Hufflepuff postcard in my planner which came with my Harry Potter themed order from SushiStudios on Etsy.

My first divider has my monthly and weekly inserts in. I don't decorate my monthly pages at all, it's just my forward planning and tracking deliveries etc.

The 'ruler' that separates my monthly and weekly inserts is part of the packaging that came with my SushiStudios order.

This is my current week, the stickers are from PlannerFace on Etsy. I bought 2 sets and they're so cute, I'll be buying more soon as they are perfect for my personal pages!

The next few dividers keep my to do lists and notepaper.

I'm adding to my book wishlist in here too!

At the back of the planner I keep a top opening pocket with my spare stickers and PL cards.

I'm so happy with this planner, it's so bright and I absolutely love it! I'm so tempted to buy the A5 size now..

Kawaii Studios haul

I think by now it's pretty obvious I absolutely love all of the products from Kawaii Studios. Ruth is so darn talented!

So the big restock with cupcakes, wing necklaces etc came along and I bought my first wing necklace in bubblegum, a pack of stickers and 2 more cupcakes- the pink and new peach colour. I wait with anticipation for the next time KS is open so I can hopefully get hold of the final cupcake colour I need for my collection.. lilac!

This is the necklace. I seriously love it! I have a whole new obsession with choker necklaces now.

...Which is why when Ruth had a bit of a restock of the wing necklaces I bought 2 more.. Oops!

Beautiful necklaces, I'm struggling to decide which to wear though! Which will just get easier I'm sure when I buy some of the other colours.. Haha!

I received both of my orders quickly and it was beautifully packaged as usual. I love opening the post box to some Kawaii Studios happy mail!

I have purchased all of these items myself and all opinions are my own.

My Unicorn Planner brand rep package - June -

Some exciting news! For the next 3 months I will be a brand rep for the lovely My Unicorn Planner! 

My Unicorn Planner specialises in wonderful paperclips but also sells stationery items and tote bags/pencil cases, personally I can't wait to spend a small fortune on any Halloween releases! (The pumpkin is too cute!)

Etsy - MyUnicornPlanner
 Website shop - MyUnicorn Planner

In the June package were 4 incredibly sweet paperclips, my favourite is the 'be you tiful' paperclip, a laminated quote card and an adorable planner tote (which fits my Kikki K in perfectly!)
They're all so well made and lovely quality, I was such a big fan of MUP anyway so being a brand rep is awesome! (And I may or may not have bought a few more paperclips earlier on today.. You can never have too many though!)

Here they are along side the laminated card which I absolutely love, I always have some sort of quote or pretty looking card in my planner pockets so this is perfect.
(The 'planner geek' paperclip is also one I previously purchased from my MUP!)

Some close ups up the paperclips -

Whilst I am a brand rep for My Unicorn Planner all opinions are my own.

My Etsy shop planner set up

I have a few A5/large planners that I switch out, but at the moment I am currently in my pear saffiano.

I managed to get this planner for a bargain price and brand new! It's one I've always liked, especially the bright colour. I love the feel of the saffianos too!

The tassel is one I made myself and the planner charm was from Kawaii Studios.

I don't really keep anything in the pockets, just some extra stickers for my day to day planner that I can't fit in. I tend to use it as storage for any receipts I have which need to be transferred into my folder.

My dashboard was from the June Brimbles Box.

Here I have a few card holder inserts and keep business cards in for my own shop and all of the shops I have bought/buy from.

I made this page marker myself using an image from a Tsum Tsum sticker book I have. I backed it onto some card and laminated it and think it looks super cute!

These pages I use as doodle pages, ideas for new products, suppliers etc.

At the back of the planner is where I keep my folder/file with stamps, some extra cards, the notes I add with all orders. 

In the next file holds all of my stickers for my packaging.

Finally I have this dashboard I made a while ago, I love the quote so like to keep it with me!
