A few months ago I blogged about a notepad I bought to help me plan my shopping list and meals a bit better. The theory behind it works, once I remember to not through the paper in the bin after I've been shopping, and I really liked this notebook so I decided to return to mikiodesign for something similar but different.

A5 Day Planner Notepad by mikiodesign

I love this notepad just as much as the food one I bought! I now need to start looking up quotes for the day, and it's nice to have a space to remind myself of a reward I can have once I've done everything on the list. It was sent out nice and quickly, and the Australian postal service got it to the UK in record time.

If you need to get yourself organised, try one of these pads!

Etsy Purchase - askingfortrouble

In a recent effort to get a little bit more organised (and an excuse to get some new pretty notepads) I bought two new notebooks off Etsy. One is coming from Australia and will be reviewed when it arrives, but the other had a relatively short trip from Scotland and arrived this morning!

Yes I bought this adorable notebook! I've had my eye on it for quite a while, partly because I like the tickboxes and partly because I love the smiling tulip in the bottom left corner. It arrived nicely packaged in a cellophane bag and a waterproof envelope and had a postcard advertising some other cute products. It's a little bit smaller than I was expecting, but that's purely because I struggle to wrap my head around sizes even when the listing has them. It was posted out within the shipping dates and thanks to Royal Mail arrived very promptly.

There's more notebooks (including a food planner one) as well as badges, stickers and cards so if you're in the mood for something cute I really think you should check out this shop.

Have a nice evening!

NaNoWriMo

Another November, another NaNoWriMo. I'm taking part, yet again, but only because I've managed to hit the 50k target in the past two years and so it seems silly to not go for a third time. I must admit though, I'm not quite as enthusiastic about it as I have been in the past. Possibly because I have more going on this year since I now have two Etsy shops and a full time job.

But we shall see how it goes!

Oh and speaking of Etsy shops, I had my first sale on Creative Classics!

Anyway, to celebrate the first NaNoWriMo weekend I figured I would highlight some of the nice things on Etsy that you can write scribble in!

And now I need to run and finish baking cookies before the football kicks off!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

And enjoy the fireworks if you're in the UK!
