It's what's on the inside...

Hay Planner Addicts
As promised i'm back to share some of my page layouts with you.
Today it's the turn of the Webster's Pages Color Crush.




When I first started it was just as case of adding a bit of washi top and bottom, maybe a few stickers or sticky notes to cheer up the page, And that's pretty much how it's stayed, some weeks it's more, some less.
It started off as my first daily planner but I changed it to a mood diary/journal when I got the Arc, I figured that tracking my moods may help me to figure out what triggers the low patches of depression, or just getting feelings down on paper and out of my system, and I wanted it separate from my main planner.
I try and make the pages happy, cheery, positive {obviously before the week starts and i'm writing in it}, in the hope it triggers a smile if i'm feeling blue. 
So do you keep a mood diary? I'd love to see.

Thanks for stopping by, See ya again next week {hopefully}

MIA but i'm back... {with yet more planners!! *blush*}

If you have followed any of my previous blogs you will know and understand that the MIA thing happens sometimes, It is partly coz i'm perhaps too busy but more likely it's coz i'm low/depressed and can't face anything.
I am trying to post once a week, mainly over the weekends, but if I miss a week {or 2} in future, you know why!
***

So what's been happening since my last post..
Well I got one of these {dirt cheap on amazon}
I had been lusting after one of these for months, ever since I saw it first previewed back in Jan @ the winter CHA show, and before I got hooked into the planner world... Hmmm maybe this was the trigger that got me interested in planners again! Anyways I digress. It was obviously not released till recently so I had to get one, especially at the bargain price of £13.
When it arrived however, it was a little damaged, and that kinda took the shine off for a while, So to try and ignite some happiness back in it I made an alternative cover.
I also changed the rings for some Arc one's I sprayed gold, as the blue ones that came with it were kinda flimsy, so much so that 2 of them were split on arrival!
Still it wasn't making me happy, so again I got to messin' and made it a cool faux leather case
The vid is HERE if ya fancy a proper look at it.
And to be fair it was working a little better for me, I was starting to feel it, the happiness was slowly coming and then...........THIS HAPPENED
OH MY GOD!!!
I only went and won my frickin UNICORN planner
Yes you are looking at the Lrg/A5 Gold Kikki K
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Serious planner peace right here I tell ya
Oh and more happiness for the Happy Planner as I de-disc'ed it and punched it in the Kikki and to say I am uber happy is an understatement!
I know doing this isn't for everyone, It's a fairly tight fit, as you can see I moved the tabs from the side to the top so they didn't get bent when I closed the kikki. But I am LOVING IT ♥
Gonna do a proper set up vid when I get 5 minutes.

And lastly my faux malden from ali express arrived {not taken pics yet but do have an upcoming vid of me unboxing it}.
And I received my very first handmade traveler's notebook/faux dori or as my lovely american friend Johnna called hers, An "A'dori'ble"
Her, her sis Darcie and friend Diane were all on a craft tour from the US and I was lucky enough to grab an afternoon with them while they were visiting Bath.
I was showered with a mass of lovely US goodies, cute pens, target goodies, washi, you name it. I had an amazing afternoon with them all and will cherish the memories.
We have been online friends for a few years, So to meet in person was a thrill, I kinda wished the day didn't have to end.

So yeah, That's been it.
I will start showing some of my layout's/ spreads whatever you wanna call 'em next week, and I will try my best not to buy any more planners.. Well not this month anyway!

If you made it this far, thanks for stopping by
