RowanBerryBox Subscription box

Here we are, a new month, a new subscription box from Under The Rowan Trees and what a gorgeous box it is!

The box is so nicely printed, I can not wait to open it.

Its always exciting when the postman arrives with a box and I can never wait to open it. I do have to hide it from our daughter, and open when I’m alone, otherwise I would lose the contents pretty quickly. But once I’ve opened them and had time to saviour the goodies, then she gets to have a look, and if shes really lucky she gets to have play time too.

So without further ado, whats inside ..

The inside is always packed in lovely purple tissue paper.
Mandala Heaven!

And here we go, a gorgeous little box of calmness and colouring. We have the monthly calendar sheet that i usually add to my homemade journal. This month we have some coloured pencils, a colouring book, 3 stencils, and a pack of 12 cards in a cute little bag. These cards are blank on one side and can be written on if I choose, with an affirmation, or I guess I could leave them blank and use as an image. Also a Micron fine point blank pen.

Now I need to go and have a play and see what I can do with it.

February 2021 Lettering Challenge

I have decided to take part in a lettering challenge this month. Its been ages since I have done any “real” lettering, so I am going to take it as a beginner challenge. I think I will use it as a time to play with all my supplies and just create a page related to the quote.

The challenge is hosted on Instagram by Emma and its for 30 days Lettersinmystyle I’m only 3 days in so far and it really making me think and challenging me to come up with a design not just words.

I would love to really get into this and learn to use modern calligraphy, faux calligraphy, lettering etc. well to be honest it would be nice to know what its called! I would also love to be able to do “official” calligraphy, but got to start somewhere.

I shall be posting on my Instagram page whenever I complete a day.

2021 Hello

Hello and Welcome to my first blog post, the first of the new year, and the first into the foray of journaling online about my journey into the world of arts, crafts, journaling and stationery.

With this page I hope to showcase some of my art creations, along with stationery boxes I subscribe to and the goodies therein.

I have always “collected” stationery, and now at the ripe old age of … ahem… I plan to actually use them for something more than filling boxes!
