  • Oooh lovely @Naomim That wouldn't be too difficult if you had a dotted note book.  Its only straight lines and tidy handwriting with the colouring in the fun part. You could use stickers for the plants -que plug for the botanical sticker book recommended by WW. No @Sun_Addict she's not spending just encouraging me too 🤣

    @Naomim you need some coloured pencils, you could recreate that easily. 
    I got a really lovely notebook before Christmas with colourful, but blank pages from my favourite online emporium (you guessed it). If you search for Omeya PU leather colorful blank journal, you should find it. The inside pages are lovely, I’ll be sad when I write on them.

    🤣🤣 I love you all but you are feeding my stationary gremlin after sundown! This is dangerous. I have a lovely new Moleskine Diary which I use with colour coded pens for different activities. But now I want stickers! *stamps foot* 

    Maybe I could EARN stickers by doing surveys 🤔
    I shall ponder.

    Deni I would die if I had to have my coffee and tea black! Well done on the substitute. 
    I would die if I had the slightest drop of milk in my coffee, always drink my coffee black and I only drink herbal tea so no milk involved.  Yes I’m weird 🤣🤣

    That’s a fabulous visual @Naomim makes my spreadsheet record of books I’ve read look really boring 😁

    I love this time of year just so I can have a new diary, I love the first time I write in it, sometimes I convince myself I need another new one in August so get an academic one.

    A few years ago my DD bought me an Organised Mum organiser for Christmas and it had stickers, it was brilliant.

  • i don't have beautiful journals or stickers but i do have coloured pens to write in my (ultra boring) diary - my diary is the functional kind for appointments and meetings and i colour code it by each job (i have 4) & personal stuff with purple being my own fun stuff - purple is my fave colour :) There isn't much purple in there at the moment :'(
