My week #25

Ok.... I've just realised that today is the start of week 26, we are half way through the year already!  How scary is that?  Completely too soon to start thinking about, well you know... I can't bring myself to say it on such a hot day in June but it has crossed my mind that I will need to start writing lists and budgeting once the school holidays are over. 
 
Anyway here are my pages for last week, I went with a simple green and blue theme.

My week in my Filofax #25

Sorry if you are having trouble reading my writing!  I've been using a fountain pen and practising my cursive writing on these pages.  I have never been the neatest writer but I love fountain pens so I'm trying to improve my style.

I am waiting for a parcel to arrive from coolpencilcase.com with some products for me to review.  Hopefully it will be here this week so I can show you the cutest pencil case ever!  I really can't wait, I'm a bit excited!  I would be embarrassed but I freely admit I'm a stationery addict so it's not a secret.


Thanks for reading and have a great week!

My week #24

Here are my pages for last week using Mrs Brimbles fox inserts.  I love them!  There is plenty of space for my daily to do list, reminders and blog statistics.  There was even room for me to decorate the pages a bit too.  I mean a week without washi tape doesn't bear thinking about!

My week in my Filofax #24

I was really excited to reach 100,000 views on here last week, it was something I couldn't even imagine happening when I first started writing it.  It does mean a lot to me that people stop by to check out my posts or choose to subscribe or follow so thank you so much!

Sunday was Father's Day here in the UK (and in the USA).  Between birthdays, commitments and appointments we'd had quite a busy week so it was nice to be at home just relaxing and spending time together.  It is true, sometimes the simple things really are the best.  
My husband was treated to some lovely artwork by our three year old.  I asked her to draw him a picture, she chose to do a mountain which is a bit random but the thought was there. At least I think it was!

Thanks for reading and have a great week!

Mrs Brimbles fantabulous filo fillers!

Did you read the fab guest post Anna, AKA Mrs Brimbles, wrote for me last month?  Well she also sent me some gorgeous products from her Etsy shop to show you!    

Anna makes some really pretty dashboards for your Filofax all of which feature her wonderful artwork.  I love her choice of colours and am especially smitten with the cute brown bunny one!  It reminds me of my rabbit Ruby.

She has also put her artistic skills to use with a large range of Filofax inserts.  These are available as instant downloads so you can print off as many copies as you want and as the diary pages are undated you could use them whenever you like.  Each set of inserts comes with around 17 different types of pages including diaries, addresses, wish lists, birthdays etc... There are also several different designs to choose from, foxes, bunnies, birds, kitties and lots more.  A real cuteness overload!

Time for the eye candy...

As soon as I saw the summer design dashboards and page markers I just knew I had to move back into my yellow Original to use them in.  They really are perfect for each other.

Anna stocks some nice stationery bits in the shop alongside her own products.  I have two cats at home so I love these note papers and the stickers are so fun and colourful.  The To Do lists are cute and handy too.

I have been using the Fox design week on two page inserts this week so keep an eye out for my next post to see how they look all filled in.  I couldn't resist them, I am a bit obsessed with foxes this year!

You can keep up to date with Anna through her blog and You Tube channel, I am a big fan of both and please pop over to her shop and check out all the goodies.  You wont be disappointed!

P.S I'm so sorry about the title but I just couldn't resist using alliteration!
