i ♥ paperchase

Walking into Paperchase is so dangerous for my bank card, it's like I have a little angel and devil perched on either shoulder tempting me to buy crafty goods.. LOL.

Seriously though Paperchase is one of my favourite shops, I have probably spent a fortune in there over the past three years and own triple my body weight in square kraft books. AWESOME for scrap booking! 

I have been contemplating getting a diary as I've purchased some in the past used them for a while and then forgot about them. I am obsessive compulsive when it comes to lists, i make lists about: money, clothes, food shopping, presents, craft projects, money woes.. mainly money. 

This notebook is perfect as it has a little wallet like pocket in the back so I can ram all my messy piles of receipts/mini statements that gather weekly into the back! Also, how cute is the design?! Its got a magnetic closing on the front of the notebook to, so no little elastic holding it together.

I had to get these index stickers of course for my new notebook, how will I know which page is which without a large eyed colourful owl leading me to it? They were just too sweet to be left behind!
I also bought some decorative tags, I love love love luggage labels. I normally stain them with tea or coffee to age them and create a vintage effect. But these colour tags really caught my eye they are very nostalgic and remind me of bunting. They will be used for the craftiest of projects in one of my many ongoing scrapbooks!

Do you have any craft projects on at the moment?

p.s i have a Valentines project coming up to share with you!

mint & berry ice cream

 

nails - barry m

pyjamas - la senza 

cushions - argos 

this morning I painted my nails in two very cute pastel shades, I didn't realise they matched my kitty cat pj top till after I painted them! must of done it subconsciously.. I used Barry M, Mint Green 304 and Berry Ice Cream 308 they look very cute and will brighten up this miserable day.

How cute are my pyjamas? A kitty wearing a feather headdress to cute! They remind me of the movie Pocahontas, I'm gonna have to dig out all my old Disney videos. I swooped these up earlier in the month from La Senzas' closing down sale. Can't say I'll miss La Senza never really shopped in there, I just took advantage of the 70% of pyjamas.

I bought these two cute cushions from work yesterday, they were 2 for £15 plus my discount! they look lovely and fit in with the theme of my room. I'll have to share my bedroom with you soon as its done.

tonight will be spent chilling with a take away and lots of movies! perhaps Harry Potter marathon...

What are your plans this weekend?!

twit twoo

coat - new look

dress - new look (v. old!)

scarf - dorothy perkins

hat - next

boots - charlies

I treated myself to this adorable owl hat in November time, I was quite surprised at the price of £10 as I find Next to be quite expensive. The pom pom ear detail is too cute to have been left behind.

 I love character hats and this cutesy one had to be added to my collection!

day off, 1 of 2: I spent the first have of the morning locked in my bedroom - mum, force of habit of keeping my little sister out - I after wandered into town to meet my Mum. I also made some jam thumb prints which are swiftly dissapearing out of the tin, and cooked me and my boyfriend a lovely meal.

excuse my bedroom floor/surroundings in the middle of decorating!
