A pretty beginning is a cheerful one

This months theme at British Style Bloggers is 'New Beginnings' and I don't know about you, but I believe that when starting a new project presentation is key and when I have pretty things to look at I feel much more positively about the task in hand which is great for motivation. A happy bunny makes for a productive bunny so if a fluffy pink sparkly pen makes me hurtle enthusiastically to my desk and scrawl away at my essay it can only be a good thing. Who doesn't love shiny new goodies for a fresh start?

New Beginnings are also a fantastic chance to make your mark and decide how you want to represent yourself so get creative.
I share a love of stickers with Becky of http://www.bunnyhabits.co.uk/ who I had the pleasure of meeting at the BSB meet up and we rather delighted with the selection at Paperchase. Stickers are a perfect way to individualise folders and notebooks with things that make me smile whether it's the odd one or a complete sticker collage (you should see the first page of the large Hello Kitty notebook above!).

I bought the jumbo crayons at Paperchase in York with the BSB girls, the small Hello Kitty notebook from Selfridges Birmingham earlier this week, the large one is from Ryman and the stickers are from a variety of brands including Paperchase and Acessorize.

Today I went back to college; mainly just to fill out paperwork and sort out my timetable. This year's looking lovely (if hardwork) with Fine Art and Fashion & Textiles as before with Photography as well and even an A2 'Art- History' session thrown in.
