Plan with me // BeautifulPlanning stickers

Week starting 23rd January 2017 and ending 29th January 2017.

This week will be decorated with some left over stickers from the mermaid kit from BeautifulPlanning on Etsy.
The insert I am using is the regular sized travelers notebook in box style from TravelersTimes, also on Etsy!

I decided to add some washi tape to match and fill in the blanks a bit more. I just used a kit for the previous week with no washi and it just looked a bit too empty for my liking.

And the finished product! I'm really loving this spread, I've not got too much going on this week so the boxes are really good for filling in the gaps.

Afterwards I decided to add one of the new quote boxes, also from BeautifulPlanning and I think it looks perfect between the weekend boxes!

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

World of Wizardry Subscription Box (January 2017)

SPOILER ALERT!

Well, my second box did not disappoint!  

Full of excellent items once again. I got the email saying the box would be dispatched between the 21st and 24th of January and it arrived on the 21st. I thought my first box was quick being delivered the next day!

If you would like to subscribe you can use their code, NEWSUB10 for 10% off your first box!

First was this really amazing tshirt, another great quality tshirt and yellow to match my house, Hufflepuff!

Next I picked out this really cool Gringotts vault key, it already has a spot on my collection bookcase!

I heard the box rattling and was worried something had broken in transit. Nope! It was a little glass pot of those delicious every flavour beans.. Uh oh haha! I'm quite wary of opening them to try after my last experience! But I love this item.

A GeekGear exclusive!

Hufflepuff socks! So cool and after trying them on, I'd love another pair.. or two!

Another beautiful art print. This one has gone straight on my wall next to last months print.

WOW! My favourite items from this months box, 100%!

I'm going to find some frames for these posters so I can have them on my wall!

And the hint for February's box.. Godric Gryffindor! I am definitely intrigued and looking forward to it.

I had to share this photo. My cat, Roxy, loves boxes and she was trying to climb into it while I was getting everything out! A very impatient cat but she is thrilled with her new box.

Custom bunny Geekydori

My favourite fauxdori maker.. Geekydori!

I have quite the collection now (and I know I'll be buying more in the future!) but I reeeally wanted a bunny dori. I am quite obsessed with rabbits, being a slave to 3 and having 101 things with rabbits on. So a custom bunny print Geekydori would be the perfect addition!

Response was super quick. After agreeing on fabric it took 6 days to make, I paid on the 7th day and it was with me on the 8th day!

The quality you get for the price is just fantastic! I also opened my parcel to find a bunny insert of excellent quality and some planner charms to match the colours of the dori.

I asked for a slanted pocket at the back and a big pocket with an card pocket for the front. The outside is a lovely mint colour and the inside is perfectly pink! 

I absolutely love it and I'm already trying to think of another reason as to why I need another custom Geekydori hehe..!
(Bunny charm is from my shop AlyMarinaCraft)

The inside is my favourite thing to look at. The two white bunny paperclips are from MyUnicornPlanner, the brown bunny face and bum are from DoodleandDotStore and the love bunnies paperclip is from CherryBlossomInTheMarketSquare!

I'll be doing a planner set up/flip through on the blog soon!

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!

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!
