This week has been much more relaxing compared to the past few weeks, which I am glad for.  But assessments and projects will be keeping me very busy throughout the week so there would not be much of a "break" for me.  However, I am flying home next week to visit my family so I am looking forward to that. 

To Do list pad, washi tape samples, all gifts from cafeetpapier;  Uni style fit barrel and assorted refills from Jetpens.

I did not use many tools this time around, mostly washi tape samples and post-it notes that were gifted to me by Kait.  I am loving the uni style fit as they are just so useful.  All the colours that I need to colour code and a black pen is in this one nifty pen.  I can't help but tell you all how much I love it!

What tools have you been using to decorate your Filofax?
Much loves!

Practical reports and various assessments have been dominating my weeks lately.  It's just that time in the semester where the assessments keep coming at you, one right after the other! {{Good thing I have my Filofax to keep me both organised AND distracted...}}.

It is now the end of Week 8 of second semester - can we PLEASE have our midsemester break now?

pawoo elephant stickers purchased from etsy; cloud sticky tabs purchased from eBay; camera washi tape and green polka dot washi tape, a gift from cafeetpapier; pink lace washi tape, a gift from littleredmoose; coleto barrels and assorted pen refills from Jetpens.

The supplies that I used this week include washi tape, my favourite elephant stickers and the most adorable cloud sticky notes.  I love the transparent elephant stickers, they are just so adorable and I've been trying to use them sparingly! Also, I adore clouds.  Fluffy clouds with a bit of sunshine makes me happy!  Once again, I used my two Coleto pens to write and doodle with this week {{might just switch it up with the uni style fit next week!}}.

Hope everybody is doing well and the days are treating you right.

it has been a good mail week

I feel so incredibly lucky to have two beautiful souls as my penpals. 
September 18 and September 19 mark the days by which I received my first two letters from Rin {{@paperedthoughts}} & Win Nie {{@win_nie}}.

Melbourne made a switch back to grey days and drizzle with a chilly breeze and it was so very lovely to receive these two envelopes to cheer up my dull week.

From Rin:

From Win Nie:

Whenever I look at these letters, I smile to myself - I just can't help it! 
I hope they make you smile too.

Do you love receiving letters?
Any experienced penpallers out there that have tips for a newbie {{like me}}?
Stay happy!
