I had a fantastic year in 2019 and I am keen to maintain that into 2020 in both my journaling and personal achievements. It makes sense therefore that my Word of the Year for 2020 should be just that... 'Maintain'.  I want to start the year with some positive journaling and mindfulness; start the year as I mean to go on.

​Today I'm sharing my 'Not So' December Daily pages in my Christmas Planner that I created using the November Festive themed Lollipop Box Kit. Have a quick planner peek of my memory keeping and creative journal pages and spreads so far.

"So here it is Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun"... ok, ok it's not quite here yet, but I'm so ready for it. ​

I have a treat for you all today, a review and giveaway of this fabulous planner by Clever Fox.  I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful A5 rose gold weekly non-dated planner to review from  https://cleverfoxplanner.com it is so pretty.

You can enter the competition at the end of the post.

​Disclaimer: I was gifted a planner for myself and one to giveaway. The winner must contact Clever Fox Planners to claim the prize.

I thought I would try something totally different today (for me anyway)... making my own paper paperclips.  The finished result is definitely a triumph and I will be making more, they are perfect for your planners and journals or as a cute gift.

I have used a variety of different papers that came in this months Lollipop Box. These papers are actually perfect for this craft as they are just the right thickness. (Disclaimer: I received this box as part of my Creative Team role).

I love that moment when you start to work on a new journal. It is however always difficult to know where to start with it and what to put on your first pages. The October kit; 'Once Upon a Time' from the Lollipop Box Club however is PERFECT for the first few pages of a journal as this month it is all about telling your own story. Join me in a bit of journaling for mental health and happiness.
