Hooray for (slightly) warmer days. Hello, lunchtime strolls in the park. Welcome to green shoots. Ideally, we’d be suggesting that you got away from the screen and headed off to get some fresh air. However, spring weather is never predictable so you can save...

Intention pages in a bullet journal were something I really struggled with. I hoped when I started with bullet journaling that I’d uncover hidden artistic talents and start drawing amazing daily pages. The truth is I’m more of a minimalist (although I do...

How’s February going for you? At Ink Drops Towers things have been busy and random as usual (that’s just what happens when two scanners work together!). We’ve been trying to conquer our job lists, make time for naps and not overdose on Earl Grey....

January is a great month for bujo activities. You can start a bujo at any time but it seems extra awesome to do it at the start of a new year. Annastasia’s musings on her bujo I took up bullet journaling in the latter part of 2016. Since then I really struggled...

Our January Ace selection included the red London bus e-racer. Ink Drops HQ is close enough to London for a day trip. But the chilly weather and transport issues are enough to make us put it off for when Spring begins. Instead, we’re looking at adding the...

I confess: I’ve been a bit bah humbug about Christmas cards in the past. I looked miserably at the box of cheap cards that I was scribbling a standard greeting in with a cheap biro. And then decided that I just wasn’t going to bother with the whole thing....

Are you thinking about Christmas, or making rash promises to yourself about how you will form wonderful life-changing habits in 2017? I hoped that the habit log in my bullet journal would be a year-round winner when it came to new habits. I must confess that it has...

It’s the time of year to find all kind of other things to do rather than face up to planning for Christmas. I should be making a list of people to send Christmas cards to. And then deciding what type of card to send. Will it be an e-card and a donation to...

I really struggle with setting intentions. I’ve been finding the monthly intentions page in my bullet journal the most challenging thing to fill in. ‘What do I want from the month ahead?’ is a question that vexes me. Mostly I want to have crossed...

There’s something about autumn days. The nip of cool air in the morning makes me smile in a way that the warm caress of a summer day didn’t. Maybe because we expect the weather in this part of the world to be cool and maybe a bit dull. Summer weather is...

It’s a first-world problem. What do you give to someone who has everything? – and we’re not talking millionaires here. Carla and I always turn to stationery when we’re stuck for a gift. We know that our friends have an abundance of lovely...

It’s the third week of my bullet journalling efforts and I’ve finally managed to draw something on a daily page! This week saw me add in a daily ‘to cook’ section as well as separate out my activities. While I suspect my layout will continue to...
