World of Wizardry Subscription Box (May 2017)


Another month, another box. First of all I was super excited to open this as it felt so much heavier than previous boxes. Also I love the print on this months box!




Roxy was also very happy with the box! (Even though she doesn't look it!)


This t-shirt aaaaaahhhmygod! I LOVE it! Love the design and it's a bit longer than usual so will be perfect for me as I pretty much live in leggings and big t-shirts.


A chocolate frog mold, awesome!
I'm going to see if jelly works with them as well as chocolate. Can't wait to experiment with this.



I think this was the item that made it heavy!
A GeekGear exclusive mug, love the design. It will look excellent on m Potter shelves.


And this lunchbox is adorable! I think I'm going to keep some washi tape and sticky notes in it.
I love the design on this.




Another Harry Potter themed wrist band to add to my collection! This one has all of the words describing a Hufflepuff.


YAAAS! As a stationery lover this is quite possibly one of the best things to find in the box! 




This print .. Beautiful! I'm really excited about this because I ordered a TN this afternoon before seeing this, that will have this image on it! It was fate.




This is this months magazine, love the design on this. I think I might cut it up and do some crafting with it.

Hobbycraft planner review/set up


I'm really excited to see that we are finally getting some rather cool looking planners in Hobbycraft! 
I knew I had to get one, especially after seeing GeraldineJayne show hers off on YouTube.

There are a few different patterns as well as styles of planner including some that are ringed.
This is the one I chose, clicky link >> PLANNER

They cost £18 which I think is quite reasonable. They're nice quality and are also undated so you can easily hop in and out of it, which is what I have a tendency of doing!


I made a planner band for it to make a house for my pen!


This planner has 2 pockets. One at the front and one at the back. I'm just keeping some of my most used stickers in the front pocket for now.


Before each month there is a page you can fill in with to-dos', goals, notes and it has a box 'at a glance' where you could write key memories or moments that happened that month.


The monthly pages start on a Sunday, so I just covered the days with some washi tape and wrote the week out starting on Monday with a permanent marker.


The weekly pages are nice and big so lots of space to write or even doodle.


This was my first week, using stickers from BeautifulPlanning.


This is my current week using stickers from PlumpPlanner.


They're about A5 size, this is a photo of it against my A5 fluro pink filofax.





Overall I am super happy with my new planner!

World of Wizardry box - Past items


I had an email from GeekGear saying they were having a sale and the boxes were made up of both the World of Wizardry and the GeekGear boxes. I'd had a really rubbish day so thought I'd treat myself!
It cost £12.99 plus postage.


 First in the box was this Donkey Kong tshirt!
This one now belongs to my boyfriend. I have size L tops as I pretty much live in big tshirts and leggings.


Next were these tshirts. I'm soooo happy about these, I already have them of course but I am super happy it was these designs as they were 2 of my favourite!



YAY! New gloves! I am a proud Hufflepuff but I love having items from other houses, I have something from every house now!


I actually squeeled when I saw these. I think I mentioned in the post when I first saw these socks in the box they came in and I was very excited because I just love getting socks!
So I am incredibly happy to have a second pair of these. 


A Ravenclaw coloured tie and laces!
I'm still writing up my DIY with the Hufflepuff coloured laces I had in the last box but I'm excited to have more to be able to create more things!


This print was the in the first box I got after subscribing and is probably my favourite out of the 5 I currently have.
I think I'll be gifting this one or maybe do a giveaway on my instagram!

Planner set up for May 2017


I've switched out of the TN's I've been using since January and moved into rings for a change. 
I love using undated inserts because I can just chop and change whenever I like!
I'm still using my TN's for journalling though.

I'm using my Monochrome Filofax Original in personal size.


Dashboard is from MyPrettySummer (where else?! haha!) The pug paperclip and unicorn horn are from MyUnicornPlanner, the Marie paperclip is from PinkieBows and the bunny bookmark is from MyPrettyWeek.
The pen I use is a Uniball Jetstream 0.7. I LOVE these, they're roller ball pens but they write like gel pens, which is exactly what I wanted. All of my gel pens are pretty much for decoration now as they just end up leaking!
I also keep one of my business cards handy in the front.





The super cute bear charm is from AwayWithTheBears.



In the front slip I keep my BeePee stickers from BeautifulPlanning.



In the front I have two pockets which I keep my most used stickers in. Also a bunny ruler I got in my Christmas calendar box from MyPrettySummer in 2016.


This was also from MyPrettySummer (hehe!) 
It's a tag in washi tape holder, or that's what I use it for anyway. 


My monthly inserts don't really get decorated anymore, not unless I'm feeling like it anyway. It's just for quite forward planning.


My inserts are the box type inserts. I love these, I feel like I get a bit more creative if I use these! The page maker is also from MyPrettySummer!
A watermelon week using stickers from BeautifulPlanning.


This is what is behind the other dividers, Expenses tracker, to do sheets and plain/lined/graph paper. Right at the back I keep a piece of thick paper from my Hobbycraft paper pack to stop the inserts from curling around the rings.


At the moment I'm loving being back in rings, I'm going to be selling some of my unused planners to fund maybe a the new Rose Filofax Original or Fuchsia Malden. Can't decide! So watch this space..
