Budget Bullet Journal Supplies

by Sarah | Nov 27, 2019 | Bullet Journal Supplies, Bullet Journaling, Journals, Pens

There might be a lot of expensive supplies out there but bullet journaling doesn’t have to be pricey. The point of the system is to make it work for you and all you technically need is a notebook and a pen to start your own. But for a lot of us the artistic...

Summer is finally coming back to the UK and with it my wanderlust is growing stronger and stronger. I’ve been really lucky to do a lot of travelling, particularly last year when I went backpacking for 5 months. I’m a planner and memory hoarder by nature so...

What’s left of 2020? Well… that’s up to you! What’s left of 2020? Well… that’s up to you! Last night in the Creative Productive club we created a doodle vision board of the things we want to do/achieve/work towards in the last few months of 2020. Just because this craaazy year is finally on it’s way out doesn’t mean there isn’t still time for a last big push with the things that mean a lot to us 🙌🏼 There’s still time to work towards and set foundations for some wonderful things and this is my doodle vision board of the things I want to do in the last few months of 2020. Some of them are big goals that I need a big final boost with, some are new experiences I want to try and some are some related to habits that I want to get back into 🧘🏼‍♀️ What’s on your ‘last big push’ for 2020 list or doodle board? Tag me if you create your own! 😁
Let’s talk about what’s holding you back from Let’s talk about what’s holding you back from starting to pursue your goals - Starting something new is scary. There’s a whole road ahead of you and you know that to get to where you want to be it’s going to be tough, long and full of hard work right? Well... not necessarily, it doesn’t have to be so overwhelming. Often we build up the goals we have in our head and imagine the journey to be worse than it actually will be. We predict there will be problems and issues and we feel so overwhelmed that we never even get started. But it doesn’t have to be like that!!! Make sure you join me later on for an instagram live where I’ll be talking more about the things that are holding you back from going for it and reaching for the stars (goals) 💫
Let’s chat about this silly idea that to be crea Let’s chat about this silly idea that to be creative we in some way need to possess ‘artistic talent’. Because that is SO untrue! Anyone can be creative. Regardless of how arty they are, what supplies they have at their disposal and regardless of the end result 🤷🏼‍♀️ Creativity is so important to explore. It’s a process that can allow us to discover who we really are, it’s a therapy and it’s a way to connect with other! We need to get better at being confident using our creativity in all its messy imperfect forms - which is one of the reasons I started the Creative Productive Club - to provide a safe space for women who feel like they’re too busy or ‘not arty enough’ to spend time for themselves creating! ✨ The Creative Productive Club is an online subscription membership designed to allow you to: * Connect with a community of like minded positive creative, productive enthusiasts * Learn new creative skills and productive strategies * Share your struggles in a safe closed supportive space and relate to others who are feeling the same * Feel empowered to explore new things and to ‘have a go * Unlock your blocks with creativity and productivity We have 3 workshops a month - 2 social online meetups over Zoom and an instructional masterclass to help you with specific aspects of creativity and productivity. You’ll also get access to a private Facebook group for members only where you can get support and feedback and a free super cute pin badge and a unique postcard with a handwritten message from me! All for just £20! So if you’re in - don’t wait and get your place today - link in my bio or comment if you want more info! 😁😁
Who am I? Time for another introduction to ME sinc Who am I? Time for another introduction to ME since I ended up having a little photo session with myself this morning! Well I’m Sarah the face behind the Stationery Magpie brand 👋🏼 I started this business almost 3 years ago originally as a blog dedicated to my love of stationery and bullet journaling however as I’ve grown so has the blog and now I focus on getting you productive and creative! But why productive and creative?! 🤨 Well in my opinion they can work together to produce some amazing things! Think about any project you’ve worked on. They’re two of the most important skills/mindsets you need to adopt to make something awesome happen! 🥳 So I help you to find your own unique way of planning and getting productive so that you can make progress and time for your creative goals AND I help you to build confidence in your creativity and let go of the ‘perfection trap’. Think of me as your own personal cheerleader for your next amazing project or for finding your ideal every day life that will bring you joy, creativity, enthusiasm and fun! Some cool facts about me: - I’m a big ol’ coffee addict and I sometimes jump on Insta live while I’m making coffee to chat to my followers because I like to make my coffee fancy! ☕️ - I love cats, so much that I have a tiny cat tattoo even though I actually hate the feeling of being tattooed (never again!) 🐱 - I just bought some roller skates and I’m teaching myself to skate!!! It’s not something I’ve ever been good at but I’m determined to get out of my comfort zone and try something scary and new. - My mum is my best friend and we love to mooch round charity shops, go for walks and have lots of cups of tea together - I recently designed my first stationery collection(!) matchin my branding that was sold in September’s @rowanberrybox which is a super cool stationery subscription (still available to order!) ✏️ Tell me something cool about you in the comments so I can get to know you 😁
Let’s talk about goals! 🤩 This was my goal sp Let’s talk about goals! 🤩 This was my goal spread at the beginning of the year. Pre-lockdown, pre-everything. Obviously a lot of these goals aren’t actually relevant or achievable anymore (number 4 lol)! Some I don’t actually want to achieve anymore (3 - what the hell is a ‘real’ job anyway past Sarah?!) Some of them I have actually achieved (number 7 hell yeah!) and some are probably going to be pushed back to next year or be a little bit modified 🤔 Now our goals don’t always go to plan. As we say ‘the best laid plans often go awry’ and that’s ok. Things change our lives shift and we have to let go of stuff we thought we wanted. But we should never stop pursuing stuff. If a goal is important enough we won’t let it go 💪🏼 But to work towards our goals successfully we need to put plans in place. We have to commit, put pen to paper and make ourselves accountable! I’m so excited about my GOAL GETTER masterclass that I’m running on the 5th of September! For 90 minutes I’m going to talk all things goals and help you to figure out how to get those important goals achieved and I’ll give you the toolkit that you can use again and again!!!It’s £25 and you can get on the waiting list for tickets which go on sale this Saturday at 9am!!! Link is in my bio and feel free to DM me questions! 😁 What goals are you working on at the moment? Are there any sticking points you’re struggling with when goal setting??? ❓
What a feeling unwrapping a box full of amazingly What a feeling unwrapping a box full of amazingly gorgeous AND useful stationery that you designed yourself😱 Danielle @undertherowantrees made my dreams come true when she asked me to design the August @rowanberrybox 🤩 what an opportunity?!? What a babe 💕 I couldn’t actually quite believe it all happened and was sitting in my hands 😭 Designing my own Stationery Magpie stationery is a little dream I’ve had for a while but I always knew that whatever I designed would have to have a purpose and be really useful as well as pretty. My entire business purpose is being creative and productive together so anything I do or make has to fit in with that - the get productive box is exactly that! Everything in the box is designed or chosen for its usefulness. It’s all been put together to get you doing the things, this is your toolbox for ticking off your to do list. But of course it’s bloody gorgeous too 😉 Have you had your GET PRODUCTIVE box yet? Let me know what you think of it in the comments! If you haven’t got yours yet it’s not too late! Make sure you head to @undertherowantrees or @rowanberrybox to grab one of the boxes! 🎁
Happy World Calligraphy Day 🖋 Here’s me prac Happy World Calligraphy Day 🖋 Here’s me practicing a few days ago when I had a spare minute. At the moment a lot of things are ‘new’ for me and sitting down to practice some drills was a nice way to take 10 minutes for something mindful 🧘🏼‍♀️ For me calligraphy is a creative outlet that’s very soothing when I practice and play with it. The repetition of the drills and watching the progress I make is very satisfying ☺️ There will be a new blog post up tonight by @blinklettering all about her calligraphy and hand lettering journey. I know a lot of you will have taken part in better brush drills this month and will be planning on doing better brush letters next month 🥳 If you want to learn modern calligraphy I highly recommend @blinklettering and her workbooks - they’re what I used to refine my shaky technique back at the beginning of the lockdown 😝 Do you practice calligraphy or hand lettering - what does it mean to you and why do you practice? 🖋✨
August is usually a time when we’re relaxing on August is usually a time when we’re relaxing on holidays or things are slowing down and we can take things a little slower... NOT FOR ME! 😳 This month I’m moving house, starting a new job and getting stuck into an intense success course to level up everything in my life! To say it’s a little overwhelming is an understatement. 🤯 But I’m trying to consciously take things one at a time. I’m telling myself to breathe, take things slowly, not to rush, write things down, talk to people and use their support and prioritise the important things like the CP club! ✏️ When life suddenly gets intensely busy it can feel like things start to spiral a bit. Gearing yourself up for change and working through it reflectively really helps me to get to grips with a new phase of life. And I’ve treated myself to a very fun new present that I’m excited to share with you all!!! 🎁 How has your life changed recently and how are you coping with everything that’s going on? Let me know in the comments I love to hear about your experiences! 🥰
