First week!

Ok you lovely lot, I am very pleased to be able to share my first pages from my organiser with you! 

 I'm not entirely sure how happy I am with this page but love the effect of the cute characters in the tape. Both stickers and tape were from paperchase.

I've also decorated a double spread for this week. Again I'm not too sure on this, maybe it's beginners nerves? We're off to  Disneyland  Paris to see in the New Year tomorrow, so I've used a combination of Paris tape, which I received for Christmas  and the Disney tapes which I already had. 

I decorated using Mickey stickers which came from Amazon, and felt the little travelling themed post-it's made a cute addition to the page as we're technically travelling this week.

Fineliner Love

I had a lovely little delivery from Amazon today of fine liners. I opted for staedler ones as I personally find the colours are brighter and last longer than the stabilo ones. These also come in a fantastic sturdy case, which if you're as clumsy as me is also always a win.

I've got fineliners and felt pens and I can't wait to start using them both. Again I'm not 100% certain I can wait until I receive my Filofax, even if there now are only 23 days remaining. You'll notice I decided to opt for the box of 20 over the box of 12 as I love the extra range of colours that is made available through this option as it means I've consequently got pens that co-ordinate with virtually every theme I could possibly choose in my organiser.

So of course I just need the organiser now. I can scarcely contain my excitement thinking about it, good job I haven't got long to wait now!

New Pens!!

Now these little beauties have been much anticipated and desired since I first clocked them on Pinterest a little while ago. I've always been a big fan of the frixion pen and as you know am a big fan of pens in general. I was delighted when I clocked these on Amazon and was jumping around the living room when they arrived.

The colours are rather gorgeous and I don't think I can wait for the Filofax to start using these, Christmas is still just too far away! Added with the fact that I'm clearly also massively impatient, waiting just does not seem an option for pens as fabulous as these.

If you're thinking of ordering these, be prepared to wait. Whilst they arrived exactly when the supplier said they would, I had initially thought this might be an overestimation as they were coming from Japan. It took about two weeks for them to arrive so I'm just putting it out there: be patient!

I also realised I still had these the other day. It's a little slice of nostalgia for me as I remember getting one in my stocking when I was about 7 or so and was delighted when I found them in the pound shop. They make pretty patterns when you spin them. Not as elegant as a spirograph but still plenty of fun. I feel a crafty afternoon with my niece and nephew coming on with these!

They're fabulous aren't they? Spinning tops with felt pens inside them. It's the simple things eh?
