World of Wizardry subscription box (December 2017)

So this is it, 1 year of recieving a box of Potter goodness in the mail every month. I'm soooo tempted to just resubscribe but I need to save up my moolah now. I hope I can start getting the box again at some point next year!

The contents of December's box -

House tshirt (mine was Hufflepuff)

Luna's spectrespecs necklace

Ron's wand

Wizard cookbook binder

3D bookmark 

A4 Bowtruckle print

My absolute favourite item is the 3D bookmark. It looks so cool! I also love I have another want to add to my collection, it's the 4th one I've had from the box since I subbed a year ago.

My Meadowgate Leather TN

The month long wait was worth it! 

I was soooo patient (I think I was anyway, I only mentioned it several hundred times..). I knew it would be a long wait because of the production time being 3-4 weeks. (It's always important to check that on Etsy!)

When it arrived I could smell it before I saw it. It was (and is!) beautiful!

I went for the extreme width with Havana stitching, tan colour and pink elastic. I also bought brown elastic just in case I wanted to swap it out at any point. It's an A6 double acorn and with the postage it cost £46.57.

I did have to loosen the elastic a little, but it took about 30 seconds! I went for one pocket at the front so I still had enough space left for my die cuts haha!

The extra bits and pieces (pen loop, name tag etc) were all things you had to put in the notes, so here is what I put!

LOOP: 
Facing in 
Medium
3/4 up 
Inside Back 

WIDTH / OVERHANG: Extreme

POCKETS:
Inside Front Cover: Secretarial

Inside Back Cover: Boarding Pass

TAG: Name - Alycia

LOGO STAMP: Yes please

THREAD Colour: Havana

ELASTIC Colour: Pink

My Christmas planners!

I'm currently using two planners. I have tried this before and it didn't really work for me so for quite a while now I've been happy in my travelers notebooks. However I was finding it hard to carry my rather chunky TN around so thought I would try using two again but not be like "I NEED TO DECORATE THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH OF THEM". 

Now, stickers make me happy and I love using them so I am incorporating them into my EDC, but I'm not going mad like I tend to do in my TN.

I thought about using either my fluro pink Filofax or zipped Jamie Notes, but eventually settled on my duck egg compact.

I love the compact filofaxes, I love that they're patent too and the ones that I have (duck egg and yellow) and second/third hand so they have a few scuffs and things and I'm not particularly precious about them, so perfect for my bag!

Of course, I'm all set up for Christmas because it's my favourite thing to do.

The dashboard and today page marker are from MyPrettySummer, the deer die cut is from PlannerMonkeyCo, the other die cuts are from BeautifulPlanning, the Santa in the chimmney paperclip is from MyUnicornPlanner and the snowman pen is from Paperchase!

This is my Geekydori in A6. The pen is from Paperchase and the planner band was from MyUnicornPlanner. 

I love my Geekydori's, this is one of my custom ones, they're just so stuffable and cute. And very reasonably priced!

This is my pretty planner and I loooove decorating in this, I use kits and all kinds of stickers for everything. It just makes me happy!

My current stack!

At the bottom you can see The Little Bullet Book which I really love, I'm using it as more of a memory planner and I'm enjoying doing that. I think I will do a separate blog post showing that one off as well as some flip throughs of my EDC and TN.

World of Wizardry subscription box (November 2017)

WOWOWOW I loved this months box! 

I'm sad that next month may be my last box! It's been a fun year of opening all of the sub boxes and if I do unsub I'll be back for sure.

The contents -

Christmas Dobby tshirt

Diadem badge

Dobby keyring

'You're a wizard Harry' hat
Two Christmas cards

Chess piece figure

Hufflepuffprint

My faaaavourite bits are the Dobby tshirt and Dobby keyring. I'm going to turn the keyring into a planner charm so that's going to look adorable on my planner.

The chess figure looks pretty cool with all of my other bits and pieces on my shelf!

World of Wizardry subscription box (October 2017)

So this is a bit late.. but I got the November box post ready and found the photos for the October box that I thought I had lost forever!

When you're not looking for things.. you tend to find them! So I thought I'd post it anyway, it will be fun to look back on still.

The contents -

Knight bus tshirt

Wrist bands

Hufflepuff pin

Broom figurine 

'H' canvas

Snape illustration

Prophecy print

I really liked this box, although it was kind of .. tarnished I guess by the broom figuring breaking as soon as I touched it and the pin being a weird yellow colour. It wasn't the 'gold edition' either, just looked a bit mucky really! Still, it's cute and I have a few other items from the person who illustrated the badger, SushiStudios on Etsy. I bought all of the Harry Potter stuff from there haha!

I absolutely love the Snape illustration, it's the same guy who did the Luna one a few boxes back.

My Harry Potter shelves

Just a quick post to show my Potter shelves!

After having a move around of my shelves due to gaining more and more Potter things from the World of Wizardry box and the release of the illustrated Harry Potter books.. I've finally made it look neat and tidy!

Some close up of my shelves!

World of Wizardry subscription box (September 2017)

This post won't be the usual run through of items for the World of Wizardry box unfortunately!

But again I just HAVE to show you what was inside the September box.

The tshirt is just so amazing, really lovely quality once again, not to mention it's ADORABLE! I absolutely love the colour of it too. The design is just perfect.

More socks! Yay! They're so comfortable, this is the third pair of socks I've had from the boxes now and these are definitely my favourite.

I love the keyring! It was one of 4 designs you could get but the Hogwarts crest is something I don't have many of compared to other well know Harry Potter designs so I'm really happy with that.

Another wand, I love getting wands! This is the third one now and it's Newt Scamander's wand so perfect to add to my collection. I'm hoping in future boxes we get more wands and things from Fantastic Beasts as I love the mix.

The Harry Potter figuring is such good quality, I'm so pleased with it! It will look perfect on my shelf. Even the guinea pigs took a shine to it hehe.

And finally the print this month was the Hogwarts Express. Such a great image, I'm going to get a frame for this one.
