Hobonichi Sticker Savers

You may remember from my initial Hobonichi post, I told you that I was going to tell you more about the sticker savers, so here I am! 

These are thin transparent films which are repositionably sticky on one side. This is so that you can attach them to a page in your notebook or planner and then put stickers on top of it that you're likely to use, instead of keeping the whole sticker sheet in your planner. 

What you do is remove the film to reveal the sticky side and then stick it wherever you'd like. If you make a mistake, it's no problem because you can just lift it off again and place it somewhere new! 

Hobonichi January

I've been having fun with painting in my Hobonichi, but I don't feel I have the time to really do what I want to do. For the moment, I'm testing out painting techniques and trying to get comfy. I like the outcome of some of these things and I'd like to share them with you.

This was my first and probably my favourite painting I did. It is a sunrise to show new beginnings- the New Year and my new journal! I followed a tutorial which I found on YouTube (here), but mine is nowhere near as good as theirs. I still love mine a lot!

The Arrival of My Hobonich Techo 2015

I can't tell you how frustrated I was with UK customs. My package had been with them for a whole heap of time before they sent me the charges (which are stupidly expensive) and then they made me wait the whoooole day before delivering it. It came shortly before 9pm. Is that a time to deliver stuff? There was no warning or anything. They should pay me for the inconvenience. All the moaning out of the way, let's get onto the good stuff!

The package arrived in a yellow paper bag with Hobonichi logos and inside it was this lovely green box. I have no idea what this means but I assume it says something like "Welcome to your brand new awesome journal!"

Planner Loves: Hobonichi

About two weeks ago I discovered the beauty that was the Hobonichi planner. It is by a Japanese company with a completely unique set up. I think I've browsed every possible media and looked at every possible site about the planner and I've fallen madly in love. I don't even have one yet, but I'm so in love.

I have recently acquired an A5 Hobonichi Cousin Cover, which is the bigger of the two sizes they offer. It is a gorgeous thing!
