Create Your Shining Year

I just thought I would share with you some pearls of wisdom...OK just some nuggets from me about making time for yourself this year for personal growth / development and how I will be doing that to keep on track etc. Just a video from me so not detailed blog post I am afraid but I hope you understand that with the time of year it is all go go go but I did really want to share this with you so I can get craking on my Shining Year!

This weeks Filofax decorated pages

This is the very last week of Christmas decoration which I think is really sad as I have loved it! We have twelfth night this week so after that no more for 11 months :(

I can't remember where the washi tape came from and I know it is too late for you but the stickers came from HobbyCraft.

Websters Pages 2015 Planner Design Team Announced!

I am really excited to be able to share this wonderful news with you...I found out yesterday morning but had to keep quiet until it was formally announced. You may have already seen this around various social media platforms but I am excited to share on my little blog here that I have made the Websters Pages planner design team for 2015. I am so unbelievably ecstatic I can't tell you.

I saw the DT call come up on the Websters Pages instagram account and thought what the heck, what have I got to loose if I apply. So I applied and kinda thought that was that until the email came through to annouce that I was in! It just goes to show you that if you don't try you will never know so if there is anything you would love to do just give it a try! It has always been an ambition of mine to be on a design team but like many have battled with the thoughts of am I good enough etc. I will be covering more on my blog etc but this year (2015) I am going to challenge myself to be more confident and do more things that scare me. So when you see that next design team call, please do apply as you never know, I know it is scary but just do it!

So here is the Websters design team for 2015, I can't wait to see what everyone gets up too! My chunky little face is at the bottom right :D

If you would like to find out more about Websters Pages do check out their website or my blog post here.

What I got for Christmas

I have been seeing videos pop up in my feed of people sharing what they got for Christmas and so I though I would share some of the art / journal / planner related items that I was very lucky to receive for Christmas this year.

My Christmas Message (like the Queen!!)

Just like the queen I have my own little Christmas message lol! I just wanted to sit and have a chat with you all and to wish you a Merry Christmas or the holiday of your choosing and to also thank you for all your love and support over this past year. I am still vlogging everyday until New Year on my vlogging channel and I will definitely be back in the New Year (if not before) with more content!

Much Love to you all xx

Dashboard Advent - Day 24

My very last post for dashboard adent. It is sad that I won't be sharing any more but really exciting because tomorrow is Christmas and that means that this jolly chap with hopefully be paying you all a visit tonight. Thankyou so much for joining me on this adventure and I wish you a very merry Christmas x

If you are interested in any of the dashboards shown during my dashboard advent, they all are or have been availble for sale in my Etsy shop. If they are not in there it does unfortunately mean that they have sold out and are no longer available.

Supplier Spotlight - Annie's Paper Boutique

Annie's Paper Boutique is a shop that I found out about via Amanda from She's Eclectic. Amanda nearly always uses the hole reinforcers on her Filofax inserts and they always look so cute and lovely, I was starting to get Jealous! Lesley is the lady who runs Annie's Paper Boutique and she very kindly sent me a few things to try out. Instantly I am in love and really wanted to share them with you.

Lesley sent me some page dots of my very own to try, a starbucks paper clip and also some trendy twine. I have yet to give everything a good road test but from what I have seen of it all so far I love it! I am going to use the twine in some of my festive preparation either in present wrapping or decoration, I am not sure which. The twine is beautiful, such good quality, much better than the stuff I already have! I am not going to lie, I am rather partial to a Starbucks but don't get to have one that often as there isn't one near me but I do love this clip so it will have to keep me going lol!

Now you can see why I love the page dots, aren't they super cute! The designs that Lesley sent me are all chevron but they are in several different colours. I love chevron!

 

I will definitely be putting them to good use on my pages so you can expect to see much more of them in up and coming page designs! I wish I knew about these when I was at Uni, I was always tearing my holes and all we had then was boring white ones, these are way too cute!

 

So watch this space to see how I use these little lovlies. If you would like to know more or get any of these items for yourself you can find them over at...
