Daily Journaling and Why Writing Matters

1/5/2019

Writing and journaling matters to me... A lot! I couldn't be without my journals, it's my form of expression and a much needed means of relaxation. Plus I am a complete stationery addict. And so to mark World Stationery Day and National Stationery Week I have decided to write why writing matters to me.

I have to admit, it did take me the best part of a day to think about what to blog about for National Stationery Week, it could have been a number of things; My favourite types of stationery, an up to date post about my favourite UK shops (click to read my post from last year), a list of my planners and journals or what to include in them. However the message of the week is about writing and as a teacher myself I know the importance of it.

Writing and journaling matters to me... A lot! I couldn't be without my journals, it's my form of expression and a much needed means of relaxation. Plus I'm a complete stationery addict.

What's in my Bag?

I don't know about you, but I'm a little obsessed of late with looking at What's in my Bag videos and craft room tours, I love a good nosy through other peoples things and they often give me inspiration for what to use for storage and ideas for my next wishlist's. As I have already done videos of these I decided that my next video would be of my craft / planner trolley / tote and a peek at my craft supplies, so have a peek inside my bag below.

I bought the trolley from Aldi a few months ago and it is steadily getting fuller and fuller. Have a look at the video below for how I use it and for a peek inside my craft storage trolley.

Planner Paperclips Display Storage:

I've turned this lovely Primark peg board for displaying postcards on into a lovely must have accessory for planner girls; a Planner clips and planner charm display frame.

As soon as I saw the peg board, I knew it would be perfect for my every growing collection of planner paper clips. They were previously residing in a variety of craft boxes and drawers in my craft room. I have been looking for a cool way to display them for quite some time now and this was perfect.

What is RAK Day?

First created in Denver, Colorado in 1995 this day has quickly spread throughout the World. Often seen in Facebook and online groups for giveaways, it is a lovely way to spread the love. I first learned of RAKs in my 20's whilst watching the film Pay it Forward.
