Be more Organised!!

OK back those resolutions! No.2 on my list was 'Be more organised' so the plan started on Friday, after work I headed into town with a list of things I wanted to get.

Which were:
*A4 Folder
*Poly pockets
*Dividers
*A Journal
*Scrap Book

I got a funky lime green folder and the bits and bobs to go in it, so that I can file all my patterns properly and organise my other folder instead of everything just being shoved in anywhere :o/ these just came from WHSmiths where I also purchased this months copy of 'Sew Hip'.

I then took a walk to Paperchase (my joint most favouritest shop in the whole wide world-Along side Hobbycraft!!) where I bought the most gorgeous journal/notebook and another for scrap booking.

I love the cover on the note book its flocked (book on the right), as soon as I picked it up I couldn't resist stroking the cover (Sad I know :)) this is going to be my 'To Do' book (i know its progressed from a list to a book now, crazy) I'll write all the things I plan to get done and make notes on things I want to write for my blog etc.

The book on the left as you can see has gorgeous brown paper pages inside, this is going to be my scrap/ideas book, I have so many pieces of paper with drawings and ideas on, I thought it was only right that they be documented properly rather than lying around everywhere!
Oh and I bought 2 mini pens.....yes the pink one does write in pink ink!! (*squealing with excitement*)
I cant say just yet but I am getting the most AWESOME'EST present for my birthday, I'm so excited about it I could throw up!! :) Its mega!!!

  1. OOh, Paperchase - love that shop! I love notebooks too (in fact I probably have dozens scattered around the house!). Love the possibilities of all those clean pages.....(ok, yes, I'm probably a bit sad too!) P.S. When's your birthday?

  4. I love stationery shops almost as much as I love fabric shops. There is something delicious about all that virgin paper, notebooks and pens.

    I love the books - it's a great idea. I have a book by the bed that I note down idea for blog posts in. Yes, I'm that sad. If I run out of inspiration, I look to the book!

  5. How exciting! I love buying office supplies (and for the reasons you did) :)

    Hope it helps you get organized. Your next problem though will be having too many notebooks. It happened to me.

  8. I love those journals. They're both beautiful. I love the binding on the brown one, and i'd be petting the fuzzy cover on the other one too :P

  10. I miss Paperchase so badly... I used to live near the massive one and could spend a whole morning wandering around looking at paper and boxes.

    Nothing like new stationery to get the organising focused and fun!
