As part of my role as a National Stationery Week blogger I have been sent a variety of items from the Maped Color’Peps range to try out. We’ve been testing their Aqua watercolour pencils, the Jungle Innovation felt pens, their Smoothy chunky watercolour crayons, and their Mini pencil crayons. The girls have really been enjoying …
This year I was asked to be a National Stationery Week blogger, and to help spread the word about great stationery that gets people inspired to write and create amazing things. As part of this I’ve been sent several bits & pieces to try out, so I thought I’d let you know how I’ve been using them to get organised, and why I’ve been getting back to writing instead of just typing.
A few weeks ago I posted a review for Zebra Z-Grip Ballpoint Pens in preparation for National Stationery Week. Well, the week full of stationery goodness has now started, and I have a set of eight of these pens to give away to one of my readers! There will be one winner of this giveaway, …
I’ve been trying out a few stationery subscription services; treating myself with some of my earnings, whilst indulging my stationery addiction. There is nothing quite as satisfying as writing in a pretty new notebook with a gorgeous pen, or marking a page with a ridiculously pretty paperclip. The two boxes I’ve been trialling are the …

When this product arrived for review, as part of my role as a National Stationery Week blogger, I was a mixture of sceptical and excited. It sounded fab, a stapleless stapler – but could it be too good to be true?
I used to use a stapler every single day at my old admin job and have many not-so-fond memories of running out of staples, or having to pick them out in order to shred some files. The idea of a gadget that both never runs out & doesn’t cause problems with shredding sounded great to me – things only a lowly paper pusher can truly appreciate I think!
These zebra pens are a joy to write with; they give you a smooth writing experience and I haven’t had any problems with air bubbles or ink flow. The range of colours they come in is great; I just love the light blue. They are vibrant and actually show up against your paper, unlike some coloured pens I have used in the past which are so pale as to be unusable.
Since my web design business has taken off a bit I’ve been treating myself to the odd extra here and there. After all, that’s what all my hard work is for, so we can afford a few treats now and again, along with other more boring things to do with extra money. These treats mostly …
Earlier in the week I blogged about my ridiculously high stress levels and how I was trying to tackle them by getting organised. I’m trying to do this by buying a Filofax to make it easier to manage my time and help me to juggle work, blogging, the kids, and the house. This is my Filofax… it is …
When I visited the new Birmingham Bullring Smiggle store, I was given a rather exciting advent calendar! I really like stationery, especially the kind of funky and colourful stuff that Smiggle specialises in, so to get a stationery treat every day from December 1st until Christmas is super exciting.
