This months theme was 'Write Away"...A celebration of handwriting and hand drawn lettering. As usual there is a card detailing all of the items inside as well as a sweet treat and some lovely tea.

On to the items then. Please note that there were lots of other bits but I have stuck to just showing some of the bigger items / my favourites so for a better look at the box contents you are best to watch the video!

Yet another wonderful box full of goodies. I loved the theme again this month, I love the bold colours and quirkiness. Now Patty won't have known this but clowns do creep me out a little so...anyway I tried to hold it together in the unboxing lol,  and Patty's artwork is simply wonderful as always! The hand drawn stationery is just gorgeous. Not everything is photographed so do check out the unboxing video to get a proper sense of what exactly is in the box. Definitely value for money in my opinion!

My #‎onebookjuly2015‬ Week One Update!

Well it has been a whole week now of just using one book and one pen for my journal and planner combined. I thought I would share with you how that has been for me...



Here is just a couple of pages for you...

Those questions were deep man!

Thank you to everyone who asked Jon a question or both of us a question...here are our responses.

This weeks pages - Pineapples & Flamingos

This weeks pages are all inspired by Summer and boy oh boy are we having a Summer here. It went from 11c one day and two days later....bam....31c. That's hot for us especially as folks in the UK don't really have air con in their houses. It has not been funny keeping the furries cool either. Still I am loving it and love getting my pineapples out...oooooh errrr!

Kate Spade is in the house!!

Kate Spade is in the house!! Whoooop Whoooop! Well not Kate Spade personally you understand BUT instead, her gorgeous range of stationery is. As you know I let the cat out of the bag the other week about the 'big brand' that I was going to be working with / stocking when I showed you the planners and now the rest of the stationery range is here too which is just so exciting. I love it all, it is all just so beautiful and scrumptious.

If you would like to review the range to oggle and drool just click here.

If there is anything you would like that you know Kate Spade do but you don't find it on the web, please get in touch with me as it might just be that it has sold out but I can re-stock or it isn't a line I stocked but possibly could.

oh shop Ban.do stationery will be coming this Autumn so watch out for that!

Let me share with you a couple of my favourites from the range, this isn't everything just my top favourites of favourites lol...

So tell me, what are your favs?

Well you asked!

I popped a post out on my social media 'platforms', is that the right word? asking if you guys had anything that you would like to ask me.

Thank you everyone who asked me a question, here is my response to you. It is rather on the long side and that is because so many of you asked a question and I do like to talk a lot! So grab a cuppa and learn loads more about me and about all the crazy facial expressions I seem to pull lol!

A couples Q&A and responses from Jon is coming soon, we'll probably film that over the weekend.

July Brimbles Box Reveal

**If you haven't received your box this month yet, you might want to not read!!**

It's time to reveal what was in the Brimbles Box this month, the month of July! if you haven't received yours yet you might want to stop reading! UK boxes should be with you by 3rd / 4th June and International after that.

If you would like to watch videos of unboxings from genuine customers as well as honest reviews from bloggers you can watch the YouTube Brimbles Box playlist As I say they are all very honest so you can get a better feel for what was inside. Here is my unboxing and video talk through of this months box:



So what was in the box this month? This months box is all about Summer...

Of course there is always a postcard from me letting you know all about the theme:

Of course there is always a postcard from me which tells you more about the theme of the box:

Ah Summer, how we have longed for you! Those glorious long warm evenings, walking barefoot over grass or sand, ice cream in hand. Bliss!

As I always say Summer is a state of mind and not a season so you don’t need a reason to don those flip flops and get outside and have some fun. In England we are lucky if we get a week or two of nice weather but still us Brits don’t let that deter us from getting to the beach even if we do end up eating our fish and chips in a layby with the heating turned up in the car. Happy memories though. I do love a good British Seaside although I do like more tropical climes too. For me they are different in their own way and I love them for it. I love lazy walks along the Norfolk shore, relaxed and chilled but I also love heading down to Cornwall for the surf although sadly in later years we haven’t been able to do that so much. Candy floss on the pier, 2p sliding slot machines… Whatever Summer means to you, wherever you are in the World, enjoy it where you can!

All boxes follow the same theme and this month all boxes were identical. You will have received 8 items with a total RRP of £22.75
