So one of the reasons (or excuses) for all the stationery is to be organised. And being organised has job lists at its heart. We like to feel purposeful. So you make notes of things to do and follow up in notebooks and notepads and on sticky notes. You use pens in a...

So you’re going on holiday and you’re super excited. The trip is going to be amazing. And (almost as exciting) you get to make loads of lists before you go. There are lists of places to visits, cards with key phrases and information, sticky notes with...

We’re launching a new card subscription service for National Stationery Week! We love National Stationery Week. It’s an excuse to talk about cute notebooks, fun shaped sticky notes and quirky paperclips. Obviously, because these things are excellent for...

In a delightful twist of irony, I have been so busy setting up & using my bullet journal, I utterly forgot to blog about it last week. The best laid plans… As I’ve finally left my day job to focus on my businesses full time, I had a lot to squish in this...

Today’s post is the latest instalment in our Christmas planning series (it’s never too early to plan!) written by the delightful Mimi from Little Sips of Tea. March slipped by… Some of you may have noticed that my monthly Christmas planning guide did...

It was very nearly a disaster. It was a Sunday. I’d done my weekly planning in the morning, organised my calendar for the week and made my lists. I’d been to a meeting at my studio and written down all the points. Then I measured up my space so I could buy...

There’s just over a month until 2018 starts which for me means it’s time to start thinking about 2018 and what my plans will be. Plus it’s a handy distraction from dealing with Christmas preparation and worry about what to gifts to buy for the 3 secret Santa schemes I...

It’s confession time. I’m a terrible pen pal and as with so many things in life, it’s because I mean well. When a letter arrives from one of my penpals I open the envelope (with a letter opener, of course). I then devour the contents while my brain...

Lists! Lists of lists of lists of lists… they’re great, but sometimes they can get a bit much for even the most enthusiastic of list-makers raises hand sheepishly. My beloved bullet journal is still going strong and has been something of a lifesaver in recent...

No, I didn’t ever think I would crave it either. I like to think I’m a free spirit and that the combination of being creative and a multipod means I can just wing it on a daily basis. (“It” being, you know, life, food, work, self-care, all the...
