Birthday Haul

I do so love a good haul. 
Never made a haul post myself, but other bloggers do it so well!














I didn't get a lot of presents this year because my lovely family answered my wishes and all gave me money towards the beauty that is the guitar in the back there! 
I had a truly amazing Birthday this year, I was honestly so spoiled by all my family especially my fiancé who put in a huge chunk of money towards the guitar I really, really wanted.

I spent the day in Edinburgh (Scotland's Capital City) We went to Deep Sea World, had lunch in the City Centre, had doughnuts at Krispy kreme, and had pizza for dinner. You just can't beat Pizza!!!!!!!!                                                                                                                                                 
My sweet lovely Mother made me the crocheted pin cushion cupcake. Isn't it so cute and I cant stop squishing it..  I shall call him Squishy and he shall my Squishy.

Different ways to use Notebooks



I am quite obsessed with collecting notebooks, I don't go through them quickly and I have many sitting about untouched.
I think its a girl thing. Anyways I thought I would write a small blog post about the different things to use notebooks for. Hope you find this post somewhat useful or interesting.
 



Use your notebook as a dream journal: 
I don't tend to have many dreams, but when I do they are WEIRD. I have a notebook by my bed where I write my dreams down. Its quite interesting looking back on some of the wacky dreams I've had, and even more exciting to look up the meaning of dreams. This is a quick and interesting way of using your favourite notebook, its a book you can treasure forever and look back on later on life. 

Use your notebook as a small scrapbook:
I use a couple of my notebooks as scrapbooks for days I've had, pictures I've taken est. Its a great way to save precious memories! 
I use fancy coloured washi tape (Another thing I enjoy collecting) to tape photos Ive taken to my notebook, especially made easy by my polaroid camera which takes instant photos!
Fun, creative and a great way to document memories you want to remember forever.

Use your notebook as a sketchbook:
You'd be surprised how great pen sketches look in a notebook! whether its lined or not. Its a great way to capture something while your out and about, to neaten up or redraw later once your home at your desk!
Great for inspiration!

Use your notebook as a diary! 
Okay so this is a pretty obvious one isn't it, but why not make it a little more interesting by adding paragraphs that describe how you feel on a specific day, or list things you are thankful for. You'd be surprised how interesting diary entries like these are to read back on. I personally like to write about days I enjoyed, I prefer not to document the bad days.. they are no fun to read back on.

Just a few ideas I thought maybe someone would find useful

If you have a genius way to use notebooks please let me know. I love hearing others ideas and uses for notebooks.

Peace Out
