Plant stickers are a girls best friend especially if you don’t have green thumb!
When it comes to plants…I LOVE them. The only problem is that I have a black thumb…so for the safety of plants I’m better off just drawing them. Unless they are fake plants.

Also stickers can help jumpstart your own doodling.…
Memory Keeping in a Travelers Notebook + cute photography themed stickers
When I was a scrapbooker, I would spend a LOT of time creating the perfect scrapbook layout. I laboured over whether I needed more embellishments or did I keep the white space for maximum oomph. Did I have one focus photo or lots? And don’t even get me started on choosing the right paper…I’d be lost down that rabbit hole for hours. Fast forward a few years and my memory keeping has been pared down to a super simplistic form.…
How to create Bullet Journal Pages you love…or at least like!
While I’m an avid doodler, I prefer to create minimal journal pages and then add more doodles and embellishments when the mood strikes or I have time. I find that I’m usually happier with how these pages turn out because by the time I return to the page to play with it, there is less pressure to create a perfect page. I don’t know about you but if I set out to create a super awesome cover page for a…

You have found the perfect stickers for your planner. The only problem is that they are way too large to use.

Bullet Journal Inspiration – Favorite Books List
So I decided to create a favorite books list in my journal. I drew my shelf and then started listing my books. Apparently the ONLY books that stick in my mind are all historical ones. I have read lots of good book but unless I checked my Goodreads accounts and the ratings I gave the books, I wouldn’t have a clue what they were. At least by name. Does that make me a history super nerd? Or perhaps I remember…
Daily Layout Ideas for Bullet Journals (with mood tracker)
Of all the types of spreads that you can use in your journal or planner, I do love a daily spread. I’m the type of girl that needs a daily to do list that I can check off, a space for appointments or events and room for notes.

Celebrate February with a flower freebie!
So I have a thing for flowers…despite the fact that I’m terrible in the garden and I generally don’t like to receive flowers. I love seeing flowers in the wild or in a gorgeous garden (that someone else has tended). I love looking through garden books especially vintage ones with hand drawn illustrations. And I love drawing them. As a recovering perfectionist I like that flowers don’t have to be perfect because they almost never are in nature. There is…
